The Sentinel

Michael Winner's The Sentinel is a wonderfully goofy, deliciously nasty little horror film from the seventies. Shout Factory has recently released a fantastic Blu-ray of the film, and it should definitely find a place in the collection of every serious horror buff! 

When a celebrity model moves into a Brooklyn apartment building, she finds that it is inhabited by a bevy of quirky neighbors - who may or may not be ghosts. After a series of increasingly disturbing events, it also comes to her attention that this particular apartment contains a secret doorway to Hell. Upon further investigation, it turns out that these sinister forces are preparing her to be the new guardian, or sentinel, of this doorway. 

This certifiably insane (and kinky) film has a stellar cast, including Chris Sarandon (in what is actually a pretty bland role), Burgess Meredith, Christopher Walken, Jeff Goldblum, Cristina Raines, Martin Balsam, Beverly D'Angelo and Ava Garder, among others. 

Don't miss this film. Amongst all of the thrills and chills, there is also a scene that involves a cat's birthday party. This scene alone is worth the price of the Blu-ray. And what a fabulous Blu-ray it is! Packed with special features, it is another triumph for the good folks at Shout Factory, and comes highly recommended!
