A unique and, at times, jarring quasi-literal portrayal of the events contained in the Book of Revelation, The Seventh Sign is not for everybody. In fact, only those who are seriously interested in Christian eschatology should bother watching it, because the everyday Christian will think “They got it wrong!” and those who know nothing about Christianity will think “This is what they believe?”
Thusly, only watch the film if you're interested in examining the eschatological elements contained within. A rather low-key budget forces the film to spread itself thin in places, particularly in special effects, but this burden is also a bonus, as it forces the filmmakers to aim for more everyday style effects which, while making it laughably bad for some, makes it a challenge to watch for others. Because of it’s low-key delivery, The Seventh Sign turns out to be one of the more realistic looking End Times films.
Demi Moore stars as a mother-to-be who rents out her garage apartment to a mysterious stranger. Turns out this stranger is an angel of the Apocalypse. The most unique aspect of the film is its questioning whether or not we can delay or interfere with the God-designed apocalypse. Overall, it’s passable, but a good watch for religion scholars.
