Point of Entry

Kathy Alden and her husband, along with their young son, move to a quiet new town hoping to escape the aftermath of a robbery and start fresh. The new street promises a normal life, a fresh slate for a family trying to heal. But the days quickly tilt as a handsome new neighbor named Caleb moves in next door. At first his charm seems like good fortune twofold, a helpful neighbor who wants to fit in with the little community. Beneath the polite conversations and wave hello greetings hides a growing sense of danger. Kathy finds herself drawn into unsettling encounters that blur the line between safety and threat.

Directed by Stephen Bridgewater, Point of Entry stems from a concept by Nate Atkins and was produced as a television thriller released in 2007. Holly Marie Combs plays Kathy Alden, with Patrick Muldoon as Caleb Theroux.

Reception to this TV thriller was mixed, with viewers and critics noting the tight pacing and the way suburbia feels claustrophobic, while some found the plot familiar. The story probes trust and vulnerability when a friendly neighbor turns unsettling.

Although not a widely known title, Point of Entry sits among mid-2000s TV thrillers that tap into fears of everyday surroundings turning dangerous. It resonates with audiences who recognize the tension of a door being opened to danger.
