The Sentinel (1977)

Universal Pictures
Directed by Michael Winner
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Universal)

Fashion model Cristina Raines rents an apartment in Brooklyn. Her neighbors include a pair of lesbians, one of whom masturbates in front of her at their first meeting. One night she sees her dead father wandering the house and cuts off his nose. The next day the house is empty and nobody believes she saw anyone at all. Her lawyer boyfriend investigates, but the police are investigating him for a shady past. Meanwhile, John Carradine is a blind priest who sits in an upstairs window guarding the entrance to hell. Cristina is to be his replacement, but first must get through the crowd of freak show rejects that block her way. It's just too silly to be scary, but can be fun in the right frame of mind.
