Review of The Sentinel (1977) by Tim S — 11 Dec 2009
As I can recall I've never been this annoyed by music in a movie before. This movie has music way too often and it doesn't fit at all. For example spooky music plays when there is nothing spooky to be seen. This even has an opposite effect making the scenes silly. There are also alot of pointless cuts and camera angles which are distracting. It doesn't matter much though since they won't distract you from anything important. There is really nothing interesting about this movie at all. It's not scary and the acting is mediocre at best.
The plot is badly told and I didn't understand the reasons for the characters actions. Overall this is a lame religious horror movie. Go watch The Omen or The Beyond instead.
