This is one bizarre work of ‘70s horror. I already liked the film because of the mind blowing ending that I cannot tell you about. Then several years ago, my girlfriend and I got to see a 35mm film print of it at the historic Castro theater in San Francisco on Halloween. Seeing this with an audience, in such a beautiful space, on arguably the best holiday, made for one of my favorite film memories. The Sentinel will not be an easy movie for many people under the age of 40 to enjoy. Everything may look extremely dated, the acting and some scenes will seem downright corny. I will assume these factors are why the film has a rather low IMDb rating. Trust me folks, if you can just ignore the blatant screaming 1977ness of this movie, you are in for a wild and scary ride. After you’re done, look up what makes the ending so special. It works without that knowledge, but… yowza.
Available on Blu-ray from Scream Factory.
