The fear of hell was very, very real in the 1970s. After all, Rosemary’s Baby proved that Satanic witches could live right next door. The Exorcist traumatized a nation by showing how easily the devil can overtake an innocent child. The Omen made parents question whether or not they actually did raise the Antichrist. This atmosphere of hellscapes and abhorrent plans infected both society and culture, inspiring a wave of even more movies, books, and TV specials centered around the time-old battle of good versus evil, of us humans against the devil himself. One notable entry from this frenzy is Michael Winner's The Sentinel, a story that champions a guardian of the aforementioned battle. It’s not a heavenly, Christian superhero film though. Rather, it’s a lurid tale that combines the most striking elements of religious horror and ghost stories. It’s a singular exploration of beguiling demons, secular possession, and nefarious intentions.
