The Sentinel

FantasyHorrorMystery92 min

A young model rents an apartment in a weathered Brooklyn brownstone, hoping for a place of her own, but the building quickly turns unsettling. Strange neighbors drift in and out, noises and visions keep breaking into Alison Parker’s days, and her grip on what is happening starts to fray. As she tries to make sense of the house, she learns it is tied to the Catholic diocese and guarded for a reason far darker than an ordinary landlord dispute. What begins as nerves and isolation turns into a fight to understand why this building exists at all, and what waits behind the blind man watching from the top floor.
