 Today we will delve into where this horror adaptation went right and where it failed.

Based on the book by Jeffrey Konvitz the story of The Sentinel deals with a young woman who moves into an old brownstone apartment building, meets a group of eccentric neighbors, and then learns that almost everyone around her has malicious intent and sinister motives. Now those of you who have read or seen the film version of Rosemary’s Baby you can clearly tell that this story is a tad derivative but it still does manage to be rather effective, mainly due to the amazing cast director Michael Winner managed to assemble, and it provides enough creepy moments to make a viewing warranted by any fan of the genre.

Also included are several severely fucked up moments.

Our heroine is a fashion model by the name of Alison Parker (Christina Raines), who has several mental issues stemming back from the time she walked in on her decrepit father having sex with a pair of prostitutes, her father’s brutal reaction to said interruption and her following attempted suicide is just the foundation of her problems. Though she is dating successful lawyer Michael Lerman (Chris Sarandon) she’s still not ready to tie the knot and wants an apartment of her own, and this leads to her being shown a gorgeous furnished brownstone apartment in Brooklyn by real estate agent Miss Logan (Ava Gardner). The place does look amazing, that is if you let slide the fact that there is creepy blind priest Father Halliran (John Carradine) who lives in the attic and does nothing but “stare” out the window all day. When the agent quotes the rent as being $500 dollars a month Alison tells her, “I’m afraid that’s too much” Miss Logan responds, “$400 is not excessive.” This is our first clue that things may not be exactly on the up and up with this place, and that’s before she runs into her neighbor Charles Chazen (Burgess Meredith) who puts the X in eccentric.

“I’m totally not an agent of Hell.”

Alison’s life begins to take a downward spiral as she starts to suffer from crippling headaches, nightmares and insomnia, the latter not being helped by the stomping and banging every night from the person living in the apartment above. This is the first problem with the film’s plot as Alison’s staying in this apartment becomes more and more unbelievable as time goes on
