Product Description
When a beautiful model, Alison Parker (Cristina Raines, Nashville, The Duellists), rents an apartment in a gloomy New York brownstone, little does she realize that an unspeakable horror awaits her behind its doors...a mysterious gateway to hell. Alison likes her eccentric new neighbors, so it comes as a shock when she’s told that, except for a strange old priest, she’s the only tenant.
Based on Jeffrey Konvitz’s best-selling novel, this contemporary gothic chiller features amazing special makeup effects by the legendary Dick Smith (The Exorcist, Little Big Man) and an incredible assemblage of stars including Chris Sarandon, Ava Gardner, Jose Ferrer, John Carradine, Burgess Meredith, Beverly D’Angelo, Jerry Orbach, Jeff Goldblum, Tom Berenger and Christopher Walken. Director Michael Winner (Death Wish) comes up with something to terrify everyone in this spine-tingling exercise in supernatural horror.

Christina Raines is a rather foxy lead in a story that encompasses some fragments from other hit "horror" movies (THE EXORCIST, THE OMEN, and even ROSEMARY'S BABY) of the era, but I personally prefer to think of Winner's movie as an original project. Considering the fact that Konvitz helped get the project set up at Universal pictures (he was on board as a producer at various early stages) it is hard to see now why his original screenplay wasn't filmed more closely, but once Winner came aboard I think he chose to develop the movie more along the lines of his own personal aesthetic (and even if it doesn't scare horror fans very much, he does manage to get in some repulsive moments that linger in the corridors of the mind afterwards). It might have been fun to read Winner's revisions, but one suspects that much of what he wanted in the final film remains. While Konvitz seems to be unhappy with the final result, THE SENTINEL is unique among thrillers in that it flirts with a supernatural premise without ever going full on into scenes of outlandish supernatural phenomena; still, Burgess Meredith is one of many celebrities on hand who manage to elevate the film to a level of genuine cinematic intensity. There is even a nod to Browning's FREAKS at the picture's conclusion; exploitative or not, the deformed and disfigured folks at the end of the film add a touch of realism to the menacing atmosphere of the story.
THE SENTINEL may not be as scary (or as horrifying) as it seemed to be back in 1977, but the picture still retains much of its entertainment value, and with the naked ladies (Beverly D'Angelo among them) and monstrous imagery on display there is certainly much to see in the movie itself. As grotesque and cinematically antiquated as most of the picture feels now, I personally find it a lot more enjoyable and engaging than today's modern horror movies. Still, Winner is an acquired taste...but once you acquire him he becomes a director that you can certainly come to rely upon for entertainment. Scream Factory does justice to what made Winner's pictures special; rather than writing him off as yet another journeyman director, this new Blu-Ray shows that Winner wanted every movie set to be a party and every attendee to get their worth in fun and creative anticipation. For Winner, the business of movies was certainly a business, but he did everything with so much joy and self-belief that it's hard not to like what he left us with. A+ for the overall effort, presentation, and wonderful (and long overdue) extras.
Terrific horror movie. Pay attention and watch till the end there is a twist.
Picture quality is beautiful. I love how many Blu-ray restorations are fixing the bleeding and speckling issues with the sky in the background. Nothing quite as distracting as a summer sky that looks sparkly and digital above the scene you’re trying to watch. Mostly an issue in Western, but even so, this film has many distance shots of New York city that would’ve been ruined by this issue.
Sound is very good, with every distinct, frightening rattle and thump, as well as clear dialogue throughout.
This film is creepy, at times startling in its grotesquery. Along with one of the most uncomfortable scenes of a dead man showing up out of nowhere that I’ve ever seen. It all works in making this one of the best modern horror films in the past 45 years.
This film obviously influenced the likes of Insidious and even Hereditary. A must watch!
