Paul Magne Haakonsen Sometimes you just got to heed the warnings and rating of a movie by checking the movie on IMDb and see what other reviewers have said about it and how they rated it. And "7 Below" is one of those movies. Why? Well, because it was as bad as it was rated to be.The story is about a group of people who are forced to spend a night at a house stricken by tragedy. With the encroaching darkness comes chilling apparitions and spooks.It should be said that the storyline did have potential, but it failed to prove interesting in most ways. And the movie's cover makes the movie appear far more interesting then it turned out to actually be. But of course, with Ving Rhames and Val Kilmer you already know what kind of movie you will be getting.What this movie had working for it was some average acting here and there, and some interesting enough sets and locations. But it was all just killed off horribly by a poor script and storyline.If you enjoy horror movies, there are far better movies available.

Tom Burns I saw Rebecca De Costa in "The Bag Man" and thought she was very good so I looked at 7 Below to see how she was earlier in her career. Well with Val Kilmer and Ving Rhames how could the movie be a loser. Well it is a loser. Ving had a decent script and was creditable but that was it for the acting. I will add that the actors did not have a very good script parts to deal with. The editing of the storyline and parts did not give a good flow to watch. The characters were never developed at all. Don't think Rebecca De Costa is without talent based on this flick. See her in "The Bag Man" and she does a good job with a better script. I only finished watching this film because of a loose commitment to watch DVD's I order from Netflix. If you find yourself needing the time for something else rather than spend watching the film do something else. Actually the reviews are better to read than the movie is to watch.

ekawalaski I just watched this a couple of hours ago at the theater. I have been to terrible horror/thriller movies before, but this one take the cake, and not a good cake that is. The advertisement for the feature was misleading, especially if you like Val Kilmer and Ving Rhames.The poster shows Val and Rhames as the main characters of the film. Unfortunately, that is untrue. Val had probably five or ten minutes of the entire feature, while Ving was on and off. Nevertheless, the performances were not as you might expect from such good names of Hollywood. The other characters seemed rather forced into the plot, too.The plot itself was weak. The story seemed something recycled from previous works. I managed to figure out the plot and the final events within the first twenty minutes. That made it feel like a colossal waste of time, and waste of money too.Some bad movies have humor or laughable moments. Seven Below failed at that too. There was nothing funny or witty there. Everything was laid out on the table, and the events were rather stiff. The themes in the movie were borrowed from other pictures. You will realize the scenes similarities when you watch this film, and you will only wonder, "how low can this go from there?" I would say this movie was a lemon, but then I would be wrong. At least you can make lemonade or pie out of a lemon; this movie was just... Please, just give me my money and time back.

Michael 'Hallows Eve' Smillie ** SPOILER ALERT ** This film kind of started off okay but then took a major turn towards crapsville. It had almost every horror movie cliché and at the same time I'm sure the director stepped out for some milk and while he was out a backwards child took over for a while until the director returned and did the last 10 minutes of the film. The plot was all over the place and at times it seemed like they were taking requests on how the plot should go. The acting left a lot to be desired too, not the best. Val Kilmer and Ving Rhames must have owed somebody big time to be in this movie, because it can't have been for the money or the experience. ** SPOILER ALERT ** The gist of the film is that they all are part of the killings as the killer is re-incarnated as one of them. But who you say? Well to save you time and money, it was Courtney. The end. So I give this a 1 out of 10.
