Synopsis
She's living in the gateway to hell. In this gruesome shocker directed by Michael Winner (Death Wish, Lawman), model Alison Parker (Cristina Raines) learns that the Brooklyn Heights house where she rents an apartment guards the gateway to Hell. Base on the bestseller by Jeffrey Konvitz, who wrote and produced the film with Winner, it stars horror legend John Carradine as the blind Father Halliran, who maintains a solitary vigil against the forces of evil. The all-star cast includes Academy Award winners Martin Balsam (A Thousand Clowns), Jose Ferrer (Cyrano De Bergerac), Christopher Walken (The Deer Hunter) as well as Tony Award winner Eli Wallach. Oscar nominees Chris Sarandon (Dog Day Afternoon), Ava Gardner (Mogambo), Arthur Kennedy (Trial), Burgess Meredith (Rocky), Sylvia Miles (Farewell, My Lovely), and William Hickey (Prizzi's Honor) also star.
