Unsettling mystery in both cases
The difference: Made in the 2010s, in a different era of the craft

Fantasy built on dream logic, twice over

Twisty horror, and it commits to that
The difference: Takes it somewhere less dreamlike than The Sentinel does

Mystery with a pulse of dread, in both cases
