Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

Overrated and overhyped

Absolutely the worst movie.

The seventh sign A cute little horror film. A good film to learn more about the book of Revelations and to reunite with Christianity and its teaching's. In the movie, John Heard who plays a reverend says that the end of times is not a grocery list. And, the movie represents the end of times as a grocery list that needs to be ticked off each time a sign is shown. What makes it a good film is the use of flashbacks that define who the characters are such as Abby Quinn (Demi More) who is the reincarnation of Seraphia, David Bannon (Jurgen Prochnow) representing Jesus. In addition, the ending is not expected. When Abby is shot, and falls to the ground, the viewer doesn't expect Jimmy Szaragosa (John Taylor) to be killed thus making the Apocalypse inevitable. When rushed to the hospital, Abby sacrifices herself to save her child in order to save the world. As the Apocalypse is beginning, Abby was rushed to the hospital as if nothing was truly happening in the outside world. Indeed, a hard core of sceptics I may say. Finally, when Abby is confronted with the choice of self sacrifice she accepts it. I believe that during all the centuries after the death of Jesus, she must of had an unappeased soul. She had now the choice to redeem herself. When, in a flashback, she sees and says she would not die for this man, the feeling of guilt over the centuries was a heavy burden and this time confronts her past. To conclude,soon or later, we all have to deal with our dragons. How we will deal with them is a mystery until confronted with.

The end of the world has come, and it's in the form of the Seventh Sign. Directed by Carl Schultz, the movie reference to the seven seals described in the Book of Revelation, the final book of the New Testament of the Bible. Sadly, I wish I was watching Ingmar Bergman 1957's Seventh Seal, 1976's Omen or 1968's Rosemary Baby, instead of this. This movie didn't had the large budget, or the eerie presence in its script to pull off the Day of Reckoning vibe. The seven seals in this film seem weak for the most part as you as the audience see only small bits of its power; from small earthquake that only the camera can feel. To the oddly cut, the scene of one river turning red, but other rivers nearby are alright to drink. To how oddly, the seal boiled the ocean around Haiti to the point, it kills the fishes, but not human beings feet or knee deep in the tide. It's not creepy at all. Where is the scary fire and brimstone!? It's disappointing, because the movie has no mention of the opening of the first four seals which calls for the Four Horsemen, each with their own specific mission to attack the world. Where are they, in the movie? How come, they weren't mention? The movie takes too much in creative license in the Seven Seals that it no way, felt accurate or solid. The movie kinda drop the plot line half way through the film, as the letters from stop being open, and things just happen to happen. Anyways, none of those events, really matter to the main plot, only serving as background to the real meat of the story. Doing the opposite of what Demi Moore's similar character in 1996's 'If this walls could talk' does, a pregnant wife, Abby Quinn (Demi Moore) pursuits to save her unborn child from being abortion by God's plans. Yes, the seventh sign is really about the morals of abortion. The movie really felt like they, the producers were trying so hard to fit, two different type of movies into one. How in the dogma hell, did you get that, from the interpretation of the bible's Seventh Seal? I don't see seven angelic trumpeters who in turn cue the seven bowl judgments as a metaphor to abortion. If such creative license with Christian prophecy offends you then stay away from this movie, as it doesn't make lick of any sense. Honestly, this movie doesn't know the different between the Seventh Seal and that of the Guf. If the movie was call the 'Guf' based off, Jewish mythology. This abortion plot would make more sense, because in the film and in the myth, The Guf is the Chamber of souls, where souls of the tree of life fall into. When heaven ran out of souls, the world starts to die, as there is bodies in which has no souls to put into. The movie makes it even more confusing, as Abby is haunted by the memories of not saving for Jesus during the Crucifixion. Yes, Abby is doom to have miscarriages throughout her life, because she didn't die for Jesus. Awful jarred preachy message, there. How does, one giving one's life to Jesus, save the world, anyways? You're still going to run out of souls & people are still going to die. Somehow, it did in this movie. In the end, she doesn't really give in to Jesus, anyways, but God and Jesus is like, let's put this apocalypse on hold, because the mother was willing to trade deaths with her unborn child. If the movie is saying that, then the whole Guf running out plot doesn't make sense. Honestly, how do you run out of souls, if reincarnation can happen in this world? It would seem like abortion would be more welcome, if reincarnation tend to give souls, bodies after bodies, time after time. It's not like she give away her soul to somebody who didn't had a soul, anyways, because a soul is what makes you, you. She just put her soul in a new body. To be truthful, the whole idea of God's judgment day ending the world is dumb, in the first place since God giving human, free will is an illusion joke. Needed to say, the cheesy faux-apocalyptic is too pad out to make sense. The movie pacing is awful. Lots of oddly place drawn out boring exposition scenes like the meteorologist scene, or the young Jew that Abbey befriend chatting with a Christian priest scene. It would be cut out. Then, there is the nudity that wasn't needed to the point, because it made no sense. If she wanted to save her child, why was she going to kill herself? Without spoiling too much of it, there is a few semi-good twist and turns, here, involving both Demi Moore's Abby Quinn's character and that of Jürgen Prochnow's David Bannon. Surprising, most of the acting in this movie is pretty good, but deeply limited. The one actor that stood out is Jürgen Prochnow who can play mysterious roles, very well. His performance is brilliant. The thing that stop the acting from being great was the exposition. The delivery of those lines are just out of place. The score music by Jack Nitzsche was alright. Nothing too worth noting. It did combines some orchestral themes with the sounds of Gregorian monks like chanting. It makes certain scenes, watchable. Sadly the production suck. Depending if you're watching this on VCR or DVD, its color saturation in this transfer is muted and drab. This reflection both how dated of the film is and the seemingly independent, low budget television-oriented production, it had. Overall: It plays out like a Lifetime TV lecture drama about the power of faith, than a thriller. If they kept it closer to a horror movie, than a preachy movie. It might be more entertaining.

THE SEVENTH SIGN is one in a string of "end of the world" style apocalyptic thrillers that plough the Bible for their inspiration. Unfortunately, this is one of the more insipid entries in that particular sub-genre, and it's a film that fails to make much of its premise; it's very much "weak sauce" throughout, and it pretty much fails both as a horror and a thriller.As a horror film, this is anything but. There are a couple of would-be supernatural situations but it's routine for the most part and there is no sense of menace or foreboding at any stage. As a thriller, it's routine and dull, lacking the kind of tension that a decent suspense flick calls for.The problems with this one are myriad, but the writing is the worst offender; it has an interesting background, but the diverse plot elements feel jumbled and uncertain. Demi Moore doesn't help, giving a wishy-washy and unsympathetic turn in the lead role, and the one genuinely interesting actor in the cast - Michael Biehn - is wasted in a boring part. In all respects, THE SEVENTH SIGN is a forgettable little movie, perhaps not the worst I've seen but lacking any elements to make it the least bit memorable.

Supernatural thriller about the apocalypse. Demi Moore is married to Michael Biehn and they're expecting a baby. Mysterious drifter Jürgen Prochnow shows up and rents a room from them. Meanwhile, all around the world various natural disasters are occurring which seem to signal that the End Times are nigh. The Vatican sends a priest (Peter Friedman) to investigate but he seems to have an agenda of his own.The incorporation of the Wandering Jew legend into the story is the best part. Moore's character makes several leaps of logic to service the plot and there are more than a few contrivances, especially towards the end. The subplot about a young man with down syndrome sentenced to be executed for murdering his incestuous parents opens the movie up to ridicule. They really should have rethought that part. It's an entertaining movie but, with a couple of changes, it could have been a very good one. Still, worth recommending you check it out.
