As the young impulsive Tom heeds the Spook's call, will he be up to the task of becoming the new Spook before Mother Malkin fully regains her powers by the night of the blood moon? Or will Tom's falling for the charms of pretty Alice distract him from his destiny?Ĭut down to its basic storyline, you would see a very common basic plot in many an adventure film: an old master training an heir-apparent to his position. His quest leads him to the farm of the Wards. Gregory searches for another "seventh son of a seventh son" to take his place. In his last big fight with the grand witch Mother Malkin, he lost his latest apprentice Billy. Master Gregory is the last spook and he is getting on in age. The people depend on a special knight called the "Spook" to fight these creatures and restore peace.
Set in medieval times in Europe somewhere, "Seventh Son" brings us back to a time when supernatural beings like witches, ghosts, ghasts and the like wreak terror on the countryside. Reviewed by 3xHCCH 6 / 10 Typical Fantasy Action Film If you're craving mindless fantasy, it does the trick. Still good for the genre, especially recently. It's better than "Snow WHite and the Huntsmen", "Jack the Giant Slayer", "Season of the Witch", and "Prince of Persia", but it's not quite as good as "Maleficient". "The Seventh Son" does travel over beaten paths, but it's still an entertaining passing of the time. Thats usually a "shoe-in" for "will exceed expectations". I knew it was going to be alright when i read the word cliché' 10 times in the first 4written reviews. His character adds just the right amount of brevity to the film. I was surprised by the a-list of actors - albeit some of them seem to be branching over to the 'slightly washed-up' category. Rented "Dracula untold"(haven't watched yet), and this film. This particular night, i craved some fantasy. You know, films that you know aren't going to be great, but you just hope they keep your attention and fill whatever genre craving I happen to have that particular evening. I've rented many a film over the last year, knowing exactly what I was getting into, going-in with meager expectations, and all too often, even those haven't been met.
