This page should be moved to The Sentinel (1977 film) as there is a 2006 film with the same name. --Nehrams2020 22:18, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can anyone confirm whether this film is related to the eerily similar HP Lovecraft story The Music of Erich Zann, about a tennant who complains about the music created by the only other tennant in the building, a man who lives on the top floor apartment and makes music to drive away demons. It seems clearly inspired by Lovecraft's story, but I can't find any information linking them. -- Mike Blackney 05:30, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Have you actually read "The Music of Erich Zann" and seen this film? Any relationship between the two is extremely tenuous. About the only thing they have in common is an old apartment building in a large city. They are not similar at all. 71.200.140.35 (talk) 01:31, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

From the synopsis here, I wouldn't say the movie was based on The Music of Erich Zann, but the throw away line about a violin player could easily be a 10%er reference tossed in. 12.106.179.2 (talk) 08:15, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
