The 7th Hunt (2009)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Admirable film.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

I don't think that I was suppose to laugh out loud at the ridiculous dialogue. In one of the violent scenes, when tormenting a victim who's hands are tied above her head, the torturer says, "By the time I'm finished with you, even hell won't have you." But she's the victim. Why would hell want to have the innocent victim? I shouldn't really be concerned with the dialogue being that the film doesn't really have a story but tries to find reasons to show people being tortured by psychotic killers. The inconsistencies here are all over the place, for instance a victim has a cigarette burn mark in their armpit before the cigarette is use to burn the arm pit. A deaf girl actually turns her head to see who's calling from another room. And a surprise reveal at the end that has no reason for the viewer to think otherwise.Basically this is torture porn done purely. Bad makeup effects, terrible characters, goofy dialogue, and it's not even fun to watch while getting drunk with friends. Instead it was confusing and left us feeling gross.

For a low budget film, this one really packs a punch. There is enough blood to make the audience feel the character's pain. This film is dark and moody, with a concept that is truly disturbing. What happens in this film makes it a psychological thriller that will stay with you. The characters all have motivations for what they are doing, and the victims are a bunch of unique people. They all act as you would expect in this situation, which helps the audience empathise with them, feel their pain and frustration. The film plays out with twists and turns that are both believable and unexpected. Despite a slow pace at the start, the film picks up speed once the violence begins. This makes for a buildup of tension that drives the story to its conclusion. A brutal exposition of what people are capable of doing to other people.

I love watching indie/low budget horror flicks, but this I couldn't even finish watching in one sitting.No redeeming qualities whatsoever. I know how hard it is to get these made, then distributed, but it simply wasn't that original or had any likable characters. Just victims and killers. We learn very little about the would be victims and then, they just start getting tortured.I'm sure some folks will like this, but the moment the one girl gets stabbed while helplessly being tied up I stopped watching AND I never do that. Honest. I did finish the movie the next day, but it got so unoriginal that I fast-forwarded most of it just to see who would make it till the end. Sorry to be so harsh on this film but it just wasn't scary or entertaining. Just my opinion.

A worthwhile horror/thriller that is more complex than just a killer knocking off victims for no discernible reason, too many low budget horror films lack a solid reason more than just wrong place, wrong time.The story is more psychological than just cold blooded murder, and the victims are not innocent victims being slaughtered, each one has been studied and found lacking in some way.The killers have a method to their killing and seem chillingly convinced of their own rightness in what they do. There was gore, but the best thing is that it wasn't over done.The blood-letting was used effectively. I thought the whole ride was pretty entertaining.
