Prior to his death on the crucifix, Jesus Christ (Jürgen Prochnow) was offered a drink of water, a kind act turned away by a Roman soldier. These events play a profound role in occurrences during modern times, which some construe as signs of Christ's return and the apocalypse. While Abby Quinn (Demi Moore) believes the end is coming and that her unborn child may be in danger as a result, Father Lucci (Peter Friedman), a Vatican agent, is doubtful no matter what evidence she presents.

Moore, as impassioned as her performance might be, is hopelessly miscast as Abby.

[Moore] provides a strong center to the film, but the rest of it, alas, is all over the map.

2/4

Not to be confused with Ingmar Bergman's masterpiece The Seventh Seal (as if!), The Seventh Sign is an ofttimes admirable yet mostly silly supernatural thriller.

The Seventh Sign takes the end of the world and turns it into some sort of Revelation-themed escape room.

Many of the performances are over-dramatic, the plot is difficult to follow, and the movie takes itself so seriously that it's often tempting to laugh at it. All in all, The Seventh Sign is a mess.

The movie is decent and has a simple biblical plot, but the twist about the mysterious man is the main part of this movie that brings an interesting gravity to the situation. I enjoy this movie for that twist alone.

1st time ever, saw the last hour on tv 5-2017. Got the feel of it. So Christ is the wierd 'bad guy' in the basement. I'm giving it a 2. But I could give it much worse.

An underrated movie with an awesome soundtrack. If you are expecting Ben-Hur or the Bible...you would be disappointed. If you are looking for an interesting 90 minutes to waste...this movie more than gives you the entertainment you are looking for.

I liked how this movie ended, but getting there felt very boring at times. I like Demi Moore and Michael Biehn, but they could have done wonders with a stronger script. This is a religious horror, so take it with a grain of salt. It isn't a must see and it could have been better.

I did like this movie when I was younger. But since learnt how it is actually a terrible nonsense movie, bad acting and no one is likable. I wanted the world to end too.
