Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Filipe Neto This is yet another biblically based film that addresses the end of the world and the second coming of Jesus Christ. It's not a horror movie, but a mystery thriller that works great and appeals to our most elemental emotional feelings. The film makes a mixture of Christian and Jewish elements and beliefs that may not seem very cool but the heart of the story is closely associated with the prophecy of the Book of Revelation, in particular the verses concerning the seven seals. Of course, the story starts from this base but then takes on other contours and creative freedoms, while making everything more intimate and personal thanks to Abby (a main character played by Demmy Moore in an excellent performance), a young girl who wants to be a mother very much But has a painful history of miscarriages. This young woman ends up getting directly involved with the issue, becoming the victim of events beyond her control. This gives the audience a clear sense of support for the young woman, holding our attention to the end. Michael Biehn did well in the role of Abby's husband, although the character has very little value for the story. Jürgen Prochnow made a good performance in the role of David, the mysterious abbot of Abby who, in fact, is Jesus in disguise. The special, visual and sound effects of the film are quite satisfying and help at the time of the most amazing scenes.

oriredle This movie sadly, was made in 1988, after a long line of The Exorcist and The Oman wannabe movies parroted and exhausted every possible "the end of days" cliché in the book. The creators, obviously, have thought that repeating them once more was worth a shot, and created a movie that tries very hard to be a "the end of days" movie for all tastes - a bit of horror, a sniff of creepy-signs-are-accumulating, a whiff of The Omen, A smidgen of the messenger of God (with a fashionable 80's do), and so on. Nothing is being followed through in a convincing manner.It tries to be original in one respect - into the Seven Seals them - a purely Christian-mythology them - it tries to mix a little fake-Jewish tradition. It doesn't mix well, and the "Jewish" aspect remains at the level of the soundtrack and, anyway, is completely forgotten half-way into the movie. Michael Biehn is annoyingly over-acting is usual, if that's any consolation.

Lucien Lessard Abby Quinn (Demi Moore) is a polite, caring, young woman. Which she's married to a hard-working lawyer (Michael Biehn) and Abby is also expecting her first child. But then an mysterious stranger by the name of David (Jurgen Prochnow) comes to rent their studio apartment. But Abby slowly realized that David isn't what he seems to be and David is actually an avenging angel bringing seven signs of the Apocalyspe to come.Directed by Carl Schultz made an intriguing supernatural thriller with strong performances by Moore and especially Prochnow. This slick looking production has an terrific, haunting music score by Oscar-Winner:Jack Nitzsche (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Stand by Me, Starman) and great looking cinematography by Juan Ruiz Anchia (Glengarry Glen Ross, The Jungle Book, Spartan).The original DVD has an sharp anamorphic Widescreen (2.35:1) transfer (also in Pan & Scan) and an good Dolby 2.0 Surround Sound. This film was an box office disappointment in the spring of 1988. But it somewhat went on to be a Cult Classic. "The Seventh Sign" is slow-moving at times but it's occasionally eerie and unexpectedly touching as well. "The Seventh Sign" may not be the greatest supernatural thriller of all time but it's certainly better and smarter than most. Panavision. (****/*****).
