The Seventh Sign

 

bullet

(Reviewed by Snake-666) - Average Supernatural Mystery.  I've happened to catch this flick a few times now and each time I have found it a half-ok film. By no means is this film anything pathetic and by no means anything exceptional but it is still a rather watchable supernatural thriller.

Demi Moore plays Abby Quinn, a pregnant woman, who rents out her garage apartment to a mysterious man called David. It would seem that David is a strange chap indeed, almost obsessed with the unborn child to the point where it seems he's trying to take it's soul. And as the movie progresses the forthcoming apocalypse becomes almost inevitable. How is David involved? Watch the movie lol.

There are obvious flaws in the script which become more apparent as the film goes on, and the ending was somewhat ridiculous, nothing like what I expected to happen and unfortunately that wasn't a good thing this time.

It is fairly obvious to all that The Seventh Sign was influenced by the classic Rosemary's Baby, however, unlike Rosemary's Baby this film showed no tangency with the every day world and that was one of the things that made it less disturbing than it possibly could have been.

In my opinion the film was underdeveloped and more time should have been spent developing the script and storyline. Demi Moore (Abby Quinn) and Jurgen Prochnow (David) both played their parts extremely well given the poor script that they were given to work with, and it is probably because of their performances alone that the film was watchable.

I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone if they were after a really chilling supernatural film (Rosemary's Baby, The Omen, The Haunting (1963) are far better), but for fans of borderline camp, watchable but not special films maybe they should check it out. It's nowhere near as bad as a lot of the films that get mentioned, but nowhere as near as good as others.
