The Sentinel
i think this film is such a masterpiece 

i think it doesn’t age well but i think that’s why i love it it’s so cool and the story is very compelling and i love that about it. the sets and the music are just fantastic

cristina raines is so fantastic in this film and i think she killssssss this role. i think she plays this broken and scared character very well and she is great even with her very minimal facial expressions

The Sentinel
subestimado, mas um pouco cansativo.

acho que esse filme merecia mais reconhecimento. ele tem muito a vibe de mistério sobrenatural ocultista/satânico, igual O Bebê de Rosemary e A Profecia e ele sabe conduzir bem na maior parte do tempo.

minha questão foi que em alguns momentos eu achei o filme um pouquinho arrastado, mas deu pra aproveitar bem.
