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.

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.

Despite the ridiculous plot, Demi Moore gave an impassioned performance that made it almost believable.

I don't know why the audience rating on this movie is so low, but I'm guessing it's has more to do with offended sensibilities than an honest and objective assessment of the films entertainment value. I first saw this as a teenager, and loved the mystery and existential dread it invoked. I also thought Demi Moore did a great job in the lead role. The story uses a mix of biblical lore and reincarnation that I thought worked well, but there is no message trying to be conveyed here about religion, for or against, at least it didn't feel that way to me. It's just for entertainment purposes. It's not a perfect movie, or even a great one, but it was fun to watch, and I really enjoyed it.

It is an amazing movie. I saw it a few years after it came out, and i have realized these days that it is so close to the today reality... To the „TOP” critics I say... let people see it... from a simple perspective... it is more than a movie... everything fits perfectly in place... we need Hope for this world...
