Rating: - The Sentinel
I really enjoyed this old -70's version -movie. I really appreciated the old fashioned horror effects- which were state of the art back in the 70's. Most of my joy was in being able to find it throught your company. I had recently spotted an old bldg situated near the water similar to the house that this movie centers around. Began thinking of the "horror/mystical" movie I saw many years ago....began searching using key phrases, etc and eventually fell upon the old title and found it through AMAZON.COM. ... Read More
Rating: - Creepy
This movie gave me goosebumps the first time I saw it. It is so strange, so creepy, so different. Takes place in N.Y, a model Alison Parker decides she needs some time away from her boyfriend, Michael(Chris Sharandon) Alison, finds a cheap rent in this old brick apartment building. There are strange people who occupy the building, like a priest who sits staring out the window day and night. There are all other sorts of creepy people who live in the building, that Alison meets. What's scary is that, when she ... Read More
Rating:  - Not very good but interesting
This movie was disappointing. It had all the right elements to be something like Rosemary's Baby in creepiness, perversity, and oddness...but it just didn't deliver. For instance, the creepy father orgy/ suicide flashback should have been disturbing but just seemed....funny. The cat birthday party and meeting with the other tenants should have felt trippy and garish and bizarre but it just felt...like a cat birthday party.
There really is no tone nor sense of foreboding in it. The acting isn't ... Read More
Rating: - "Forget all hope, all ye who enter here..."
The Sentinel is one of the penultimate 1970's horror films. It really ranks up there with The Exorcist, the Other and the Omen. But as with those films and other horror films of the 1970's, stylistically they were made differently: character development, mood and plot line build toward the climactic final scenes. This is indicative of most, if not all horror films until the 1980's (think: Psycho, where finally seeing "Mother" is the payoff in the last reel). I believe that understanding the differences and styles ... Read More
Rating: - A major problem
It's difficult for me to do a review because I couldn't play the DVD on my player because I am in Region 2 and the DVD is in Region 1 format. I have now realised I can get the film on VHS tape, where I will be better placed to do a review. I saw this film back in the 70s and I remember, at the time, it scared me sh**less. That's why I'm keen to acquire it now.
