The Sentinel (1977)

Devilishly Evil, Frightfully Fun


Super fun film - very creepy. I quite enjoyed again after years of "no see". The Sentinel or The Messenger in this one is our John Carradine - you won't see him very much in this film because it builds the suspense toward the ending. I think back in 1977 the ending (to actually see Carradine fully) would have come as a surprise to theater goers - these days with internet you can see photos of Carradine as The Sentinel so it will come as no surprise as it would have back in the 70s.

The film is full of a great cast - big names in this one and not just John Carradine.  Cristina Raines, Ava Gardner, Burgess Meredith, Christopher Walken, Beverly D'Angelo, Jeff Goldblum and more!

If you like films like The Amityville Horror, Burnt Offerings, The Legacy or The Changeling then you might like The Sentinel - it's a good film for a late night movie.

8.5/10
