The Seventh Sign Movie Download

4 / 10

It helps to know a bit of religious history from around the world.
Intriguing and intense, this is a slight disappointment because of the complexity in the plot that requires knowledge of the book of revelations and other biblical books, and not many movie fans would take the opportunity to read the more obscure books of the Bible. Having had a religious appreciation class at a very liberal catholic school, I was aware of the basic details covered here, but it becomes very over the top, even more so than other classic books and movies that have maintained a cult status because their twists and the way the plot is revealed and the big twist exposed. This film gets complex and intriguing, but it goes way too far at times and has several moments that are gruesomely disappointing.

For the mysterious Jürgen Prochnow, it’s extremely important that he not only meets Demi Moore but becomes close to her. She is a non-believer, pregnant and going through a series of mysterious experiences with husband Michael Biehn unable to protect her. The last days of Jesus as well as the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah are brought into the plot, and Moore finds assistance from a kindly Jewish teenager who knows various codes which gives her a clue to what is going on. A mysterious stranger (Peter Friedman) wanders around with his own agenda, tied into the secret to the identity of Moore’s unborn baby, and a young man on death row is also another plot element due to be executed just as a series of seeming plagues occur, giving rise to the possibility that the four horsemen have arrived.

Certainly not boring, this tries hard to make a difficult story become believable, and the gorgeous Moore is appropriately vulnerable and determined throughout. I was alternately intrigued and confused, fascinated and repulsed, and it is easy to see why it was not a critical success. The possibility of being alive when the apocalypse is in progress is depressing to say the least. However, in seeing this again for the second time in 30 years, I did see it through more enlightened eyes. Not a film I’d watch again or recommend because dark views of the end of the world isn’t exactly entertainment to me.Read More
