Pretty Good
Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Absolutely the worst movie.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
The movie starts out like a slasher film with a series of murders in 1910. 100 years later, a van filled with tourists headed to a resort gets stranded in that same house due to an accident. A large storm is brewing. The music during the credits would indicate the film is a thriller-mystery and not the slasher film it started out to be. Val Kilmer plays a corporate lawyer from Chicago. He cheats on his wife (Bonnie Somerville) with everyone possible. His wife knows about the constant affairs and would like to have some sex from time to time too. There is a pair of brothers (Luke Goss and Matt Barr), one of which is into past life regressions. Ving Rhames is their host. There is also a doctor in the group (Christian Baha). Rebecca Da Costa is a convenience store clerk.There is immediate tension between Kilmer and Rhames as it becomes a battle to see who can act the most ostentatious, contrary, and bizarre. As the 100 year storm rages on, the events of the past unfold in the present.The problem with this film is that it tries so hard to be clever, it isn't. Ving Rhames with his fedora, time piece, and cigar love making creates a lousy character as we see him as "Tony Todd light." Kilmer, likewise had a bad role, one where acting was optional. Overall the characters were fairly drab which made for a dull feature.F-bomb, opening sex and nudity (Tia Sage)
A group of strangers find themselves stranded following a tour bus accident. They seek shelter in an old house that turns out to be haunted. Naturally, they start to get picked off one by one. Director Kevin Carraway, who also co-wrote the trite and talky by-the-numbers script with Lawrence Sara, allows the blah and meandering story to unfold at a painfully sluggish pace, generates not a single iota of tension or spooky atmosphere, signposts the killer's identity well in advance, and trots out a numbing succession of groan-inducing tried'n'true horror clichés that include a mysterious ghost girl on the side of the road, the proverbial dark'n'stormy night, creepy reflections that suddenly pop up in mirrors, and, worst of all, folks wandering off by themselves so they can make for easy targets. The mostly sorry acting from the largely underwhelming cast doesn't help matters any: Val Kilmer seems dead on his feet and mumbles all his dialogue (plus he gets killed early in the action despite his prominent billing in the credits), Luke Goss proves to be a colossal drip, Rebecca Da Costa looks mighty fetching, but can't act for spit, and Christian Baha sports an indecipherable foreign accent that renders all of his lines borderline unintelligible. Ving Rhames tries hard as the enigmatic Jack, but even he can't surmount the poor writing and flat direction. But what really dooms this dud to outright crumminess is the fact that it's incredibly freaking dull. A hopelessly soporific stinker.
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")
** SPOILER ALERT ** This film kind of started off okay but then took a major turn towards crapsville. It had almost every horror movie cliché and at the same time I'm sure the director stepped out for some milk and while he was out a backwards child took over for a while until the director returned and did the last 10 minutes of the film. The plot was all over the place and at times it seemed like they were taking requests on how the plot should go. The acting left a lot to be desired too, not the best. Val Kilmer and Ving Rhames must have owed somebody big time to be in this movie, because it can't have been for the money or the experience. ** SPOILER ALERT ** The gist of the film is that they all are part of the killings as the killer is re-incarnated as one of them. But who you say? Well to save you time and money, it was Courtney. The end. So I give this a 1 out of 10.
