I saw this clip on telly last night and think it is one of the creepiest little things I've ever seen in a movie. Is the movie any good? Maybe Winner missed his calling... http://youtube.com/watch?v=FfzzO0Vc04g | ||

You never seen it, Tony? I saw it on its release, and found a very few parts effective - he mainly used deformed actors to suggest the horrors of hell during the climax, which is a little tasteless, to be sure. However, I do have it on DVD... | ||

This is easily the best scene in the movie, alas. The scene is terrific; the movie only so-so. | ||

The odd thing is, this clip has had its soundtrack replaced - it now seems as if it's a clip from a 'seventies Italian horror film! | ||

Should I see it then? I feel like I want to. Apparently the books are quite good. | ||

Weirdly, earlier today I heard that I'm being sent a copy of this to review for Videovista. This film - and the scene with the old man in particular - fuelled my childhood nightmares for years. That scene is easily the best in the film, but it's an interesting entry into the 1970s Satanic sub genre. | ||

Just checked - my copy is a region 1 disc, from '99... | ||

Blimey - I've been buying DVDs for ten years! Got my first player for £450 back in '98, just under a year after DVDs first came out in the US. | ||

The Sentinel was one of the big horror movies of that period focusing on demonic forces, along with others like The Omen. I haven't seen it in quite some time - the main thing I recall from it is a malevolent Burgess Meredith. | ||

I got mine the year this came out, for £120 or so. This disc, along with Billy Elliot, were the first two movies I bought. http://www.chickenrun.co.uk/ It freaks the fuck out of me that the film's website is still up and running, eight years down the line. | ||

I bought mine back in 2000. Paid 500 quid for a modified Region-free machine, and it's still going strong. | ||

I bought mine back in 2000. Paid 500 quid for a modified Region-free machine, and it's still going strong. Yep - my first one was an American one that wasn't region free the way they are now; I had to set it to the relevant region before I inserted a disc. And being from the US it was 110 volts so I had a clumsy Maplins transformer on the mains lead to whack up the voltage! It still works but can't play the Region Enhanced discs, so I replaced it four years back and it's now been relegated to the garage. | ||

I know what I liked about it, as a twelve year old boy. | ||

Well, I finally watched it - and loved it. Proper horror doesn't have to be scary at all, just unnerve and hint at strange big things, and this film does that better than most. | ||

What is IT? The link doesn't work. But the link to Chicken Run still does. | ||
