Summary: A Damn Good Film!
Review: I recently saw this film again after several years and I enjoyed as much as I had done when I first saw it when in was released onto video at the end of the 1980s. The Seventh Sign was not your run of the mill horror film. What it lacked in blood, guts and gore, it made up for other ways. The acting was excellent; Demi Moore was brilliant as the pregnant young woman about to give birth to the first soulless child who will herald the end of the world. Jurgen Prochnow in turn was superb as God's witness on earth and even Michael Biehn gave credence to his supporting role as Demi's disbelieving husband. Many Jacobs who plays the young Jewish boy Avi also deserves a mention, all in all the entire cast were brilliant. This is a much under-rated film as it is intriguing, atmospheric, and well put together. If you get the chance to rent, buy or borrow this film, then do so, it is well worth it and you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Edge of seat!
Review: I saw this film at the local cineama years ago - I actually went to see Good Morning Vietnam, but it was sold out. The film starts slowly, but gets you really thinking. By the end of the film I really was on the edge of the seat and so were the rest of the cineama. There was a stunned silence at the end. If someone had told me it was a 'Gods, end of the world' type film, I'd probably never had bothered, but it really was brilliant. A friend of mine picked up an ex-rental version on video some years back for me. Unfortunately its stretched and no longer watchable. Why oh why is it only availble on DVD (region 1) format and not for us region 2 peeps in the UK?

Summary: Haunting thriller...
Review: I saw this movie on the big screen in 1988. I loved it then..and I love it now. It's a dark, intellectual, emotionally draining, and completely enjoyable thriller. Demi Moore does a fantastic job playing a pregnant neo-Madonna, in search of answers about her haunting dreams and odd renter. Bit-by-bit, the movie uncovers the secret of the "seven signs," and teases us with flashbacks of ancient times. The ending is only predictable seconds before it happens, but the movie keeps our brains working as we second guess the next scene. Out of all the movies I've ever seen, only three or four would rate four or five stars. I suprise myself by including this one amoung them because it's not my typical movie genre. If you hate typical blood, guts, and gore thrillers (Friday the 13th, Scream, and Halloween), look into this one.

Review: I watched this movie with my mother and my brother. They were really happy I introduced them to this film, and they both had tears in their eyes. I strongly recommed this film if you need a boost of faith.

Summary: A Charismatic Role for Jurgen Prochnow
Review: I would give this film three stars, but five for Jurgen Prochnow's remarkable performance. It is almost tragic that Hollywood has never known what to do with this intelligent, charismatic actor, so brilliant in "Das Boot," and demonstrating such a quietly compelling presence even in this apocalyptic melodrama. As for the film itself, intriguing scenes alternate with others that don't add up. Demi Moore's character is cited for her kindness, but in actuality, she seems completely oblivious to the sensitivities of others. We see her obsess and invade her tenant's privacy to the point of actually stealing (and even casually destroying) possibly priceless artifacts, with her only "excuse" a morbid curiosity and an ignorance threatened by what she can't immediately explain, and to which she gives the most self-obsessed interpretation. As for the movie's question, "Would you die for me?" - it is truly not answered by the ending, as most mothers would die for their children: as presented here, it is hardly a world-redeeming choice. As in most such films, the theology is extremely muddled, but the glimpses we see of Prochnow's Christ-figure, both the contemporary scenes and the flashbacks, do indeed give us a Jesus worth dying for. If only this movie could have been worthy of that embodiment of divine suffering and compassion. What a lovely angel-come-to-earth he would have made, in a different film.

Summary: Someone, please help me out.
Review: If someone would please give me a good overview of what this movie is about, I would really appreciate it. I'm NOT looking for a "this is a good or bad movie" deal; I just want to know the premise and basic plot elements. Thanks.

Summary: One of the better apocalyptic thrill-rides from Hollywood.
Review: Most have never even heard of this movie, which is a true shame, for The Seventh Sign is a nice little look at what will happen, or might happen, when the seven signs of the apocalypse come to pass. Demi Moore plays Abby Quinn, a woman in the last month of her pregnancy who meets a man intent on renting the apartment above the Quinn's garage. This man is seen earlier in the film walking among different places, cracking seals that unleash ruin on the lands and seas. Abby, after much deliberation, begins to discover that her tenant is not what she originally saw him to be, and suspects that he may want to bring harm to her unborn child. She dreams of a man being struck, and a soldier yelling, "Will you die for him?" This movie definitely has a factor of suspense which is evident throughout most of the picture, and the conveyance of each of the seven signs is very haunting and original. Acting is an added plus, especially in the most tense of situations. Do not be mistaken by its low-key status; The Seventh Sign will have you on the edge of your seat, hungry for answers.

Summary: Surprised to find
Review: that Demi Moore can act. This isn't your run-of-the-mill Apocalyptic horror film: it's low-key, puzzling, and tense. There isn't any gore, so fans of such films should look elsewhere. What it is is intelligent and thought-provoking. The positive reviews below have said everything I could say.
