Very little we do today even comes close to matching their technical prowess. Though primarily an exercise in atmosphere and dread, The Sentinel does contain a few special effects shots, all of which are top notch and worthy of admiration. The mystery surrounding the tenants and the apartment building will certainly have you guessing (I was) until the very end. The tension and dread wrap you up tighter and tighter with each passing minute until you’re practically screaming for release. So imagine her surprise when she discovers that she and the priest are the only tenants…Ĭan’t say much more without giving too much away suffice to say that The Sentinel is definitely one of the creepiest films I’ve seen in a while. Well, except for that reclusive priest who lives on the top floor. She’s got some eccentric neighbors, but she gets along with them just fine. Based on the novel by Jeffrey Konvitz, The Sentinel follows Alison Parker (Cristina Raines) who has it all: a successful modeling career, a boyfriend (Chris Sarandon) who loves her and a new apartment.
