Review of The Sentinel (1977) by Tiia K — 21 Nov 2007

Good production values and a single effectively scary scene midway through can't save this religious horror effort from a lazy build-up, an uninspired musical score, and an overly talky deus ex machina finale.

The move was daring in its day, and possibly even more unthinkable in these politically correct times.
