Brooks Benjamin does an amazing job in creating an intense and gripping film with Point of Fear. Most notably, Benjamin uses the cinematography to immerse the viewers into each scene. By alternating between the character's point of view and areas of impending danger, Benjamin allows the camera angles to heighten the suspense in this thriller. A blurred effect or filter distinguishes flashbacks from the present, and flashing lights as well as short segments of black and white isolate or signify crucial parts of the plot. In addition to these elements, the editing in Point of Fear helps to develop a compelling plot, particularly in murder scenes or stunts that require many cuts to achieve the overall effect. Benjamin should certainly be commended for his obvious talents in these areas.

Overall, Point of Fear is a film that captures the viewer's attention and maintains it until the credits roll at the end.
