What a great plot right? If you aren't sold on that maybe this one isn't for you. I first heard about it when Edgar Wright programmed a 24-hour horror marathon for The AV Club. The entire list was fantastic so I just started watching all the films I hadn't seen on it.
The Sentinel stands out for a number of reasons, but one big one in particular. The climax of the film involves people with real physical deformities playing the demons that come from the hell. It's something you would never see today but it packs a punch and a bunch of conflicting feelings.
The film has a hell of a supporting cast including Ava Gardner, Beverly D'Angelo, Christopher Walken, Tom Berenger, and Jeff Goldblum. The appearance of these actors makes the film fun even when it drags, which it does. However stick with it for the incredible ending.
