the sentinel be a movie that be recommend to me year ago and by my father and and i have see it many time since . it always manage to entertain me and while be effectively creepy as well . the flashback scene be what really make it for me . cristina raines father run around all creepily and with the two creepy woman and always manages to send chill down my spine . it your typical good v evil thing and but at least it manage to be entertain . the end i consider to be one of the fine in horror history . it have plenty of shock and suspense and see burgess meredith do his thing a chazen and have me on the edge of my seat . the sentinel have the perfect build up of tension . we be never fully comfortable whenever allison be on screen . we know something terrible be always await her and and that make thing all the more tense . this movie be often neglect among horror fan and but i personally think it one of the good one out there and and it certainly have enough for all horror fan and to be satisfy . performance . cristina raines have her wooden moment and but come though in a big way for the most part . she beautiful to look at and and her chemistry with saranadon felt natural . chris sarandon be great a the boyfriend and michael . he have an instant screen presence and and i couldn not help but love him . martin balsam and josé ferrer and john carradine and ava gardner and arthur kennedy and sylvia mile and deborah raffin and jerry orbach and richard dreyfus and jeff goldblum and tom berenger all have memorable role and or small cameo . burgess meredith be terrific a chazen . he look like a normal old man and but what we find out and be absolutely terrify . eli wallach and christopher wlaken do well and a the bumbling detective . beverly dangelo have one chilling scene and that i would not spoil . bottom line . the sentinel be an effective horror film that horror fan and sadly tend to neglect . it will give you the thrill and scare you need to be satisfy . well worth the look . positive .
