a young woman who be a successful model and and be also engage to be marry and and who have twice attempt suicide in the past and be choose by a secretive and distant association of catholic priest to be the next sentinel to the gateway to hell and which apparently go through a creepy old and but well maintain brooklyn apartment building . it tenant take the stairway up and can reincarnate themselves and but apparently can not escape as long a a sentinel be there to block the way . the previous one ( john carradine ) be about dead and so she and by fate or whatever and become the next one and and the doom must get her to kill herself in order for them to be free . lot of interest detail lie under the surface and her relationship with her father and the story of the doomed and her fiancé and so one can pass this off a cheap exploitation horror and but give the set and the great cast and and overall level of bizarreness and this be definitely worth see .
