Summary: Good And Creepy
Review: This is a very scary flick, based on the equally creepy book by the same name. In fact, the movie is very faithful to the novel, which was considered fairly shocking for its time frame. This isn't a perfect movie, being choppily made and a bit amateurish in its direction and production, but as far as horror films go, it's very gruesome and creepy.The cast list features both old and new stars and all of them did a great job. Faded movie queen Ava Gardner is elegant and believable as the realtor who seems clue-free about the horrors contained in her rental property. Jose Ferrer plays the head of a secret brotherhood of priests who select the Sentinel---the poor person who sits at the gates of hell and blocks evil from erupting into the normal world. Eli Wallach is the cynical but willing to be convinced cop who's trying to unravel the bizarre puzzle he's been handed. The great John Carradine---tall, gaunt, with his cavernous voice and arthritis-twisted hands---plays the old priest who is the dying sentinel that must be replaced. Finally, the devil is played to charming and evil perfection by Burgess Meredith. The newer bunch of faces are good, too. Christina Raines is vulnerable and touching as the girl under spiritual attack from both sides, a pawn in the never-ending battle between good and evil. Chris Sarandon is effective as her caring but ultimately self-centered boyfriend, caught in the grip of unbelief while forced to confront the spiritual reality of the situation he's encountered. There's a group of future stars hidden in the rest of the cast: Jerry Orbach as a jerky TV director; Deborah Raffin, Beverly D'Angelo and Jeff Goldblum as friends of the victimized girl; and Christopher Walken as the junior partner of the veteran cop. Everyone does a great job in pulling off his role and helps carry the story forward. The special effects are pretty gory for the times and still have the capacity to gross out some viewers. There are some fairly nasty nude scenes, too, especially involving the girl's father and his two ugly whores. The atmosphere of this film is more suspenseful than terrifying, but the psychological drama of a normal person facing unspeakable evil is very well portrayed. The girl is helpless, especially at the end, when confronted by the devil and his minions. Whoever thought to find sideshow freaks to play the fiends around satan was a genius; the effect is very powerful and repulsive. Overall, this is not a modern horror flick with tons of mayhem. It's a more sedate but also more terrifying dip into the realm of evil. Very creepy!

Summary: Scary as hell!
Review: This is one of my favorite horror flicks. First off, any flick about the gate to hell being in Brooklyn can't be that far off the mark. Second, this film has more up and coming stars than most. How many stars can you name? Third and last, it has some really scary moments. It's a great date movie.

Summary: VERY DISTURBING.
Review: This movie is one of the first horror movies I'd ever seen. I was very young when seeing it on TV, and it really affected me for years. The scenes with the Nun and also the hallway scenes of people eating people and stuff were very shocking and unforgettable(especially in my case,being so young!) Upon seeing it years later, it still disturbed me, but then the silliness of the story got to me and I was able to see it in it's shoddy light. An ok, but kinda yucky,sticks-to-the-mind movie.

Summary: A must-see for any Rosemary's Baby fan
Review: This movie is truly amazing. It is in the same vein like Rosemary's Baby. I think it is better, because many things that are implied in that movie here are shown in gross detail. The cast is all star, from Burgess Meredith to Chistopher Walken. The story is just awesome. I first saw this horror movie when I was a child, and then could not sleep for some days... This video release has a non-related cover, but has many many scenes that the tv version has edited out. They are truly strong! This video is a must-have. END
