Simply because of this quote and the subsequent explanation by Ricky Butler, I watched this movie On Demand a few years ago.
Looking back on it, the movie has more in common with The Burbs besides the fact that it is mentioned in the film. The Ray Peterson role is played by young fashion model who moves into the apartment of a brownstone, where her neighbors are various Klopek types.
... OK thats a pretty bad description, but regardless of my alleged plot similarities this movie is a very underrated and overlooked horror movie from the 70s with a tone very similar to horror classics like The Shining or The Exorcist. While I'm not saying The Sentinel is on the level of those movies, I would highly recommend it. Especially if you're considering renting a newer horror movie because I can blindly say that The Sentinel is above their level.
