Queer Horror: The Sentinel

|
Like

The Hollywood’s bimonthly Queer Horror series is a goddamn Portland treasure, featuring scary flicks with an LGBTQ+ bent. This month, host Carla Rossi shares a particularly nutballs drag pre-show before putting Michael Winner’s 1977 “gay panic nightmare” The Sentinel on the big screen in 35mm. Death Wish director Winner was never known for possessing either taste or restraint, and he displays neither in this 90-minute parade of repugnance about a fashion model who moves into a hotel that’s being used by excommunicated priests as a portal to hell. Starring (no shit) Ava Gardner, Jerry Orbach, Chris Sarandon, Christopher Walken, Burgess Meredith, Jeff Goldblum, and Deep Space Nine’s Nana Visitor.
