Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Inclubabu
Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
SoftInloveRox
Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
Humaira Grant
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I'll admit the acting was okay, the story was a bit weak and nonsensical at some points, but overall I enjoyed it. It didn't seem like the movie had that huge of a budget, so it seems like they did the best they could with what they had. I watched the movie on Netflix, not in theaters, so I guess people are upset they paid to see it and I understand. This certainly wasn't an edge-of-your-seat type movie, it progressed pretty slowly.I paid attention and caught three goofs IMDb didn't: 1. The house had a tin roof, and despite being in such a huge storm, you never hear the rain on it. 2. The grandfather clock is pendulum-driven, yet the "tick-tock" sound is from that of a small clock or a pocket watch. The chime is from that exact clock though. I own the same one. 3. Even though the storm hasn't even started yet, a tree had fallen in the road and barriers were placed around it sometime between when Courtney drove through and when she was picked up (which probably wasn't very long).

The wolf lawyer Bill McCormick (Val Kilmer) and his estranged wife Brooklyn (Bonnie Somerville); the brothers Issac (Luke Goss) and Adam (Matt Barr); and Dr. Lipski (Christian Baha) are returning from a resort in a van. They stop in a gas station where Adam and Bill woo the attendant Courtney (Rebecca Da Costa) and when they return to the road, the driver sees a mysterious woman on the road and crashes the van on a tree. The driver dies and the group of strangers is helped by Jack (Ving Rhames) that invites them to go to his house since a storm is coming. Adam meets Courtney with her broken car on the road and she joins the group. Soon they find that they are trapped in the house that is inhabited by ghosts. Further they learn that one hundred years ago a family was slaughtered by their insane son and they can see the boy killing his family again and again."Seven Below" is a senseless and lame ghost story and one of the worst horror movies that I have ever seen. The plot is an awful rip-off of the storyline of Claude Chabrol's "Alice ou la Dernière Fugue", with a car crash on a tree and the character trapped in a house.Ghost stories are usually attractive, but unfortunately "Seven Below" does not make any sense. The characters are poorly developed and Val Kilmer and Ving Rhames are absolutely decadent in their careers. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): "Sete Almas" ("Seven Souls")

In "Seven Below," a boy kills his entire family and then disappears. Decades later, a handful of travellers go to the house where the murders took place and mysteriously they start dying off like flies. I have no idea why anyone would want to make a film like this. The acting is sub-par, suggesting that the actors rushed for the money and happily sacrificed their reputations for this trash. The only actor, in fact, who attempts anything fresh is Ving Rhames, but unfortunately he is hamstrung by a terrible script. The plot mechanisms are completely ridiculous and not in a good way. Perhaps the most ridiculous and implausible plot twist of them all (this movie is so bad that I have no scruples about giving way the ending) is that one of the good guys decides to marry the girl (played by a Brazilian model who clearly has no idea how to act and has spent more time looking pretty than improving her mind) who killed his brother and his professor. Yeah I can see that happening... not. Then at the very end, it is suggested that the girl is going to kill her husband who (if the plot had any sanity of all) would have had the good sense to have her interned in an insane asylum. No surprises there. 2.5/10

Watched the first 20-30 minutes...and got bored. Likable characters. But a strange mixture of acting levels. Dialog was insipid. Maybe that was the problem. Dialong just didn't move the story along. Fast forwarded through the rest of the film at 4x. I pretty much picked up on what was happening the rest of the story at that rate. Probably spent too much time watching it even at that rate. But it was finally Done.I don't think I missed a nuance of it. Best parts were the flashing lightening scenes and the old news clippings, and but that's just coming from a history buff. Might be OK to have it playing in the background while you're cleaning the house.
