You won't be disappointed!
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
I tried watching this movie several times before giving up & cutting it off.For some reason I decided to give it 1 final go.Instead of cutting it off after 20+ minutes, I made it to 40+ minutes & then cut it off.I don't understand why I decided to give it another chance when I should've just left it off in the 1st place.I tried sitting through it but after awhile I just could not do it anymore.I no longer cared about why Julie is being stalked by a bunch of criminals, the stolen diamonds or whatever else happened.All of a sudden it hit me, I could be watching something else.Why am I torturing myself?! I can't believe I made it as long as I did especially being able to watch it the entire time I did with my eyes open.If you like movies that will bore you out of your mind then watch Devil With Seven Faces (Is it Devil With Seven Faces or Devil Has Seven Faces? Different sites, different names.Either way I guess it doesn't matter.This movie SUCKED!!!) If you can sit through the entire movie without falling asleep or turning it off, you have my respect
Not a horror film but a crime drama about a woman who gets mixed up with jewel thieves.Starring Carol Baker, George Hilton and Stephen Boyd this is actually a pretty good little crime drama. Its more the sort of thing that is best viewed when you stumble upon it on TV late at night. I liked it, but really wish that the packaging hadn't made it out to be some sort of horror film.Worth a look, its the sort of thing you'll find in the 99 cent rack and its worth the price and investment of time.Between 6 and 7 out of 10
I haven't seen enough from the Italian film industry (or the Dutch one, for that matter) to be overly familiar with the conventions of the so-called "giallo" genre, but I can tell when someone is trying to make a crime/suspense thriller with a "jet-set" cast and settings, and this one falls smack into that category. However, I can't quite figure out why the title is "The Devil With Seven Faces", when there is no real horror element to the screenplay, no "devils" are to be seen (just thugs and gangsters) and no one here has seven "faces" that I can see...not even the diamond that serves as the 'MacGuffin' for the plot. The plot is ridiculously contrived, convoluted, and unconvincing - with several dead-ends (some of the characters' actions and decisions make no sense at all, and what the heck was the deal with the dead landlady?? ); the cast leads are played more like fashion models than actors; the soundtrack tries for a weird combination of Ennio Morricone and John Barry; and every time the screenplay gets some actual momentum going, it immediately bogs down again in a bunch of "clever" dialog, travelogue footage designed to get you to visit Holland, and endless exposition and flirting. Also, the director doesn't seem to be able film a good car chase scene, and some of the gun-play and fisticuff choreography falls flat. And yet, I sort of liked it. The leads are at least pleasant to look at and no one here sucks the way they might in a typical Italian genre ripoff. The camera seems at more interested in the outfits than the actors wearing them, but the proceedings do have a certain shallow glamor. Even the minor roles are decently filled out by hardworking character actors.The scenery is glamorous and intriguing, although there is far too much of it (if you've seen one windmill,you've seen them all). The climax is actually gripping and ends horrifically (I flinched a little, anyway). The soundtrack may be odd, but it tries hard to sustain a certain mood and sometimes succeeds. Also in its favor, the English dubbing is fairly good - I think I recognized some of the voice actors from "Secret Agent Super Dragon", which was also pretty good for an import.Minus a couple stars for the terrible way the plot is resolved in the last three or four minutes - possibly the worst ending to a thriller and mystery since "it was alllllll a dream". Plus one star for the insane blue wig that the female lead wears in a beach scene - it takes a lot of something special to pull off a piece of head-wear like that, and it is almost worth the entire movie to see it.
Carroll Baker stars as a woman targeted by a group of international jewel thieves who mistake her for her twin sister. It would seem that her twin made off with a serious rock of some other families jewels. Two men help the desperate woman to run from the pursuing thieves but are they what they seem.'Seven Faces' starts out with the feel of a 'Giallo' (even the name seems to indicate it) but you soon find out that it's a fairly standard crime thriller with the prerequisite twist. The production is pretty standard. It's not overly visually interesting and the script isn't much better. For fans of the genre only.
