The Seventh Day

I agree with the other reviewers- this film had no energy, a cliche plot, and the co-lead (Father Daniel) was awful. I was looking forward to this film and it was a let down. In the over-saturated genre of exorcism movies, there is nothing to make this movie stand apart from the others.

The only slight redeeming factor in this was Guy Pierce, and even he wasn't that good.

Not worth a watch

[4/10]

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.

I was so excited to see Guy Pearce's name attached to a horror film, esp exorcism related. Unfortunately the film's flow and writing were just below average. The plot twist tho was refreshing. It wasnt the worst (you know the ones - acting is so bad, effects worse etc) but no where near the really good ones. It is a one time watch. I really hope for a upgraded part 2.

This occult horror movie had promise, but the dependence of the supposedly shocking reveal that was briefly announced earlier just did not succeed in turning this movie into one of those "ah ha" moments. Instead, surprisingly not a lot of thrills and actions explode as the movie continues onward. There are efforts and intriguing moments and scenes, but they instead seem to be too disjointed, confusing, and underdeveloped. Even the quarter of a century old End of Days (1999) has more energetic and potent horror that drips from the screen. The Seventh Day cannot be recommended because the movie is oversold to the put of being a let down by the end. Father Daniel's character portrayal really just does not seem up to the part and how the movie develops.

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....
