Anastasios G @TasoG Mar 28 Hard to follow and disjointed. No explanations ever given for the actions of Jacqueline. The supposed cult never seems any more dangerous than a book club. The ending is the height (or is it depth?) of nihilism. Not a film to watch if you’re depressed and sitting alon with a bottle of Scotch and a gun.

(B+) See more Madoka A @RT95510435 Jun 23 Fantastic. Spooky. Funny. Great product! Really good! See more acsdoug D @acsdoug 11/25/2024 A subpar script coupled with subpar acting equals a waste of your time. See more Anon E @RT10343873 09/27/2024 A young woman leaves a secure environment to find her sister. She finds love that is mutual but cannot be fulfilled. Her sister is faced with death, but will only face death on her terms. She does. A private detective reaches out to help the young girl find her sister. He is killed. There is a scene stuck in for the censors - you'll see it by how out of place it is. In the middle of the movie there is a theater group happy as can be coming from a door with masks one smiling, one frowning. This movie is about those who frown. See more dave s @RT68722908 01/14/2023 An early effort in the short career of producer Val Lewton, The Seventh Victim is the story of a naïve schoolgirl (Kim Hunter) who travels to New York to investigate the disappearance of her older sister. Before you know it, she finds herself immersed in a world of shady characters and devil worshippers, never a good thing. While it has a couple of moments of genuine suspense, it ultimately feels as though it sinks under the weight of its meager running time as far too many characters are introduced, all of whom seem to have motives to keep the young girl ricocheting around Manhattan like a pinball. One lead immediately and improbably leads to another, all of which leads to a strangely unsatisfying climax and a stern lecture concerning good being a much better option in life than evil, as per the Lord's Prayer and the Hayes Code. It's not flagrantly bad, just flagrantly forgettable. See more Read all reviews
