Centinel

About This Movie

So, 'Centinel' is an interesting piece. It’s set in this pastoral backdrop, right at Marydell Faith and Life Center in Nyack, NY, where you’ve got these characters in Civil War garb acting out some really surreal family tensions. There’s this strange vibe throughout, almost dreamlike, as they bicker over this new security system—kind of an odd juxtaposition of past and present. The pacing feels a bit off-kilter, but it contributes to the unsettling atmosphere. The performances, while not from anyone particularly known, carry a raw intensity that draws you in. It’s definitely distinctive in its oddity, not your typical narrative structure, and leaves you pondering the nature of conflict in a surreal setting.

'Centinel' hasn't seen a wide release, making it a bit of a hidden gem among collectors. The DVD format seems to be the primary option, and I've heard whispers of a limited run, so it might be tough to find. Its unique blend of historical aesthetics and contemporary issues creates a niche interest that some collectors are definitely drawn to, especially those who appreciate the avant-garde in cinema.
