It is a performances centric movie

Really interesting movie given the times we live in.

OK, let me just say that it's a long time since I've seen this film, and it's the sort of thing that irritates by being so often horribly written, directed, acted, implausible and vacuously melodramatic (as per the supposedly underrated 'Ninth Gate'. Furthermore, I'm an atheist. Yet I've never forgotten The Seventh Seal. I will never forget the implacable, murderously sad face of 'The Lamb' visiting Earth in Lion mode. There must be something about strange weather, tectonic events and red rivers that is hard-wired in humans to evoke dread and fascination, because I have also never forgotten feeling both of those things, watching the results of the breaking of the biscuit-shaped seals. Well, red rivers = war, and that's happening now, so maybe these images got under my skin because they were topical. We're expected to side-line these sorts of considerations though, with our view obscured by Demi Moore and biblically referenced mystery plot stuff. Moore i can easily glance past, and the bible i know almost nothing about (have only seen the Angers Tapestries for an education in Revelations and apocalypse), so was able to watch the film in something approaching freedom, even with the aforementioned preconceptions about the genre. Demi does an OK job as always, no real problem there. The naked pregnant thing is no big deal; those who are disturbed by that should get a life. The plot moves along efficiently. we do want to know what happens next..so far so good. Things come to a denouement; will The World prevail or will Armageddon complete itself? Nothing so exceptional there... but just one or two things did very much move me; the notions of the greatness of love and sacrifice- in this context nicely morphed to counter patriarchal tropes- and the Guf. For someone who has always thought of all unborn children as pre-existing, waiting only to be summoned to this mortal coil, the idea of the Guf is heart-clenchingly sweet and beautiful. All in all, all I can say is just have a look :-). Despite your well-reasoned and fair reservations, there is something in this film that you might find unforgettable, and as others have mentioned, moving.

one word boring.the young demi looks good, but she's pregnant (- point for that =D) the movie is not scary at all...the first scenes looked little crappy, i could render better clouds with my laptop, and after effects. but that was then... and now is now. some movies do not get old well... this is one of them.not worth renting or buying... get something better instead like the exorcist, ...next =Doh the drama part in the beginning just and simply suxor =D

This story, which is most definitely based on the prophetic last book of the New Testament, that of Revelation, holds some entertainment value but remains sadly and irresponsibly inaccurate.It tells the tale of the Seven Signs that are to herald the end of the age and the judgment of all humanity by the Almighty God. For Hollywood however, director Carl Schultz tones down the Biblical prophecies and humanises the plot to gain a wider audience.For unbelievers, "The Seventh Sign" may well intrigue or perhaps bore you, depending on taste. Tragically though, this movie will leave many believing a very wrong doctrine: that mankind can save himself.Sunday, March 22, 1992 - Video
