O Sétimo Dia

Not any good? The acting performances are quite good. The direction aint bad either. BUT...

The bad: the story is laughably silly at moments. I simply did not experience any real horror.

Forgettable. Better watch the one and only Excorcist CLASSIC movie from the seventies....

2 out of 5 stars.

The Seventh Day is a bad horror film. With dull acting. Boring plot which is no different than any other exorcism movie. Guy Pearce talent is wasted in this film.

The Seventh Day is an exorcist film that makes me wish somebody would steal my soul so that I don't have to witness films like this one. The film tries extremely hard to be scary and unique yet it simply is not either of these things. I struggled so hard to sit through this film as it is chalk full of clichés and tries to hard to be like other exorcism films that are simply, well... better. Now, with all of that being said I am a positive person and do like to see the good in everything. There are some decent moments within this film (though I could count them on one hand) and the acting isn't terrible. Other than those two things I wouldn't recommend that anyone watch this film, definitely not worth it.

I love possession and ghost movies, this one fails to effectively deliver the chills and "evil". The idea which emerges late into the film was a good one, and i think they could have done a lot more with it, but ultimately just fizzles out with a minor 'wtf' moment with the actual fate of one of the main characters.

While the subject has been explored in other movies, the Rite of Exorcism is, by itself, a very complex theme to reproduce. Some might call this movie a cliché or a waste of time, but it goes through another route altogether. It's not the "goes to the house exorcise demons" routine. If it could have been better handled? Yes, it could. There's some loose ends to the story. However, I did find it refreshing. Above all, never watch a movie with high expectations. No matter the subject, take it for what it is: Entertainment.
