Synopsis
The Sentinel (1977) is an American supernatural horror directed by Michael Winner — watch it online on iFILM. Alison Parker, a New York model, rents a spacious Brooklyn Heights apartment for a price that should have been the first warning. The building is quiet, almost too quiet, except for the blind priest who sits unmoving at the top-floor window every hour of the day.
The neighbours are another matter: a retired man who throws midnight parties with guests Alison can't quite see, a pair of women whose behaviour shifts from odd to deeply wrong. Cristina Raines carries the film through a slow accumulation of dread, with Christopher Walken, Beverly D'Angelo and Ava Gardner appearing in supporting roles. Director Winner builds the horror through atmosphere and architecture rather than shock cuts — the apartment building itself feels wrong before anything explicitly happens.
Based on Jeffrey Konvitz's novel, The Sentinel belongs to the 1970s tradition of slow-burn horror where the supernatural hides just behind the ordinary. Stream The Sentinel (1977) online on iFILM.
