Amazon.com: Seas boil, heavens fall, and Demi Moore takes a candlelit bath in this effective apocalyptic chiller. The prosthetic-enhanced Moore plays a pregnant nonbeliever whose baby may hold the key to impending Armageddon. Logic is not exactly the strong point in this well-acted, stylish, theological grab bag, but the random collection of horrific images manages to work more often than not. An acceptable time waster for fans of The Omen and The Exorcist. Also starring Michael Biehn (The Terminator), the always welcome John Heard in a brief cameo, and the exceptional Jürgen Prochnow as a mysterious stranger who could either be from the extreme North or way, way down South. --Andrew Wright
Movie T;he Seventh Sign movie and the movie called just plain Seven are both good movies.
Not like HorrorMan "HM" Described It's just a movie and it's not meant to (nor does it claim to) be based on the actual book of Revelation, which in and of itself may very well be "fantasy." Don't take yourself too dang serious. This film has dream-like imagery and an understandable plot if you keep it simple and don't try to base it on (or compare to) your religion.
I don't agree with the negative reviews, but I certainly understand.
Peace.
Hideously bad. Demi Moore's tortured screams of "Noooo! Noooo!" at the end of this garbage heap of a film were very appropriate, since that is exactly what I was thinking after realizing I had wasted 90 minutes of my life on this incomprehensible nonsense.
"I came as the lamb but I return as the lion." The Seventh Sign, a surprisingly effective piece of Apocalyptic guf from the days when Demi Morre's breasts were still real and she could still play likeable characters. It's quite shameless in the way it invents additional verses to the Bible to support its hotchpotch of apocalyptic predictions and throws in elements from everything from The Wandering Jew to Rosemary's Baby, yet it all works surprisingly well, mostly because the cast and director Carl Schultz take it completely seriously, even pulling off a surprisingly touching ending. Clearly the Fundamentalists were too busy threatening to firebomb the theatres playing The Last Temptation that season to note the film's own unique interpretation of a p***ed-off Christ who has lost all patience with humanity: "I came as the lamb but I return as the lion."
No extras, but a fairly good 2.35:1 widescreen transfer.
One of those Sleeper Movies The Seventh Sign is one of those Sleeper Movies you hear about. It might take two or three times watching it before you start to realize the deeper implications. Unfortunately most people now, don't have the time, or the attention span to sit through a movie more than once, but I can honestly say that it's one of my favorites. When I first saw it, I was still in my teens and it stuck with me. I have a copy on video and now a copy on dvd. A lot of people won't understand or get the biblical references and inferences, but my advice would be to just sit back and watch. It is creepy, surreal, and, ultimately, a movie of sacrifice that leaves you wondering what you would do. Demi Moore was really beautiful as Abby.
