Movie Review: Beacon Point Is A Sci-Fi Thriller Fueled By Paranoia, NOT Big Effects

Zoe is a young woman looking to live life on her own terms. She has quit, or at least intends to, so that she can avoid falling into the same work-a-day drone trap her father did.

A Review Of Eric Blue’s Thriller Beacon Point

A group of hikers lost on the Appalachian Trail stumble across an ancient secret that threatens their very survival in Eric Blue’s Beacon Point.

We next see Drake (Jon Bridell), a wilderness Ranger with a troubled past. As he checks in at the Ranger station, his boss confronts him about something that he left off his resume, the fact the he’s a felon. An argument escalates into
