WITCH's co-director, Eduardo Sanchez delivers a new horror-tale
featuring innocents stumbling about in wilderness. This setting is
an
all-nighter, for Americans lost in the Chinese countryside.
SEVENTH
MOON'sengine is an Ancient Chinese Legend involving demonic doings
at
that ominous lunar cycle. Although there's no "found-footage",
BW's
ultra-shaky camerawork remains ...now with unbroken night-for-night
to
further tax one's perceptual abilities. (LCD-owners beware).
Moreover, SM's basic concept is handicapped ...because rural China
and
its customs are already 'strange land' for U.S. viewers, whereas
supernatural horror springs best from the comfortably familiar.
And,
although the script is literate, it's too monolithic to stay
interesting. (Not even Amy Smart can outlast it.) Even for horror
fans like me,SEVENTHMOONis only marginally recommended.

I watchedSeventhMoonlast night because those pesky DVD kiosks
didn't have anything else. It being a weekend and all. (I kinda
want
to see the It's Alive remake, the one with Bijou Phillips--I wonder
if
the monster baby is the result of the incestous relationship between
Mackenzie Phillips and her dad.)

SeventhMoonwas pointless. I didn't see any point to two people
running around in the dark for 90 minutes, and, yeah, it is dark to
the point of distraction.
