The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

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.

In the intro, a century ago, an adopted kid kills his entire family- the cheating husband, mother, two little sister, and the mother's aunt.In the present, 5 people are driving somewhere in a tour van. They include an jerk lawyer and his angry wife, a German physician, two brothers one of them which is a medical student. They stop at a gas station and meet the attendant there, some Latin girl with a brutally thick accent. When they're back on the road, they start seeing the mother from the intro standing by the road. When the driver tries to avoid her he crashes into a tree killing himself. A friendly man shows up who offers to take them to his house. There's no cell phone reception of course, and he won't take them to a distant hospital nor to the gas station because he keeps warning that a storm is coming.At his house he acts all weird. The lawyer who's got a head injury starts having visions and warns everyone that if they don't leave they'll die. There are pictures of the family from the intro all over the house. One of the brother decides to drive to the gas station and runs into the attendant. Her car broke down, the roads are closed so he takes her back to the guy's home. Then the lawyer suddenly is dead. Everyone starts freaking out. The storm finally arrives. The car's wires suddenly are cut. So they're stuck there with their visions and fears. Now the physician's throat is slashed. The surviving four decide to walk into the woods in dense fog. They do what any reasonable person would do- go separate ways. When they meet up again the guy shows up and things are revealed, including what the intro has to do with anything.7 Below is a remarkably boring and tedious movie. From the viewer's perspective this movie is completely aimless. For a long while this movie goes nowhere it doesn't even try to give you a hint about where it's going. The ghost aspect is minimized to such an extent that it doesn't even seem to be a ghost story. A ghost story ought to at least try to be scary. This movie doesn't even bother. The lawyer is the more interesting and funny character but he's eliminated far too early on leaving us with a bunch of dull characters doing silly things.I'm going to say that the direction is good, technically speaking but as the director is also the writer he's not blameless. In fact he should have known how to advance the story better. When the answers and twists finally arrive you've pretty much given up on the movie. I'll give them one things though, the explanation is somewhat unusual, even courageous, but it's just not well told. Overall this movie is a surprising failure, surprising because they had the budget, the cast, the equipment and technical know-how but they weren't able to come up with a compelling story and tell it well.

You can usually surmise after watching the first 15 or 20 minutes of a movie what you are in for, and 7 Below is no exception. The film is listed as a Horror/Thriller, but trust me, it should be rated as a DULLER because it is just slow moving and oh, so predictable. We have a couple of name actors in the film such as Val Kilmer, Ving Rhames and Luke Goss. But these actors cannot bring a dull script to life, let alone some 100 plus year old corpses who were murdered more than a century ago. The plot is about a family of four that is murdered by the young son, and how Ving Rhames fits in to the picture is just plain dumb. I won't spoil the so called plot for you, but to suffice to say by the end of the movie (if you get that far) you will be scratching your head, and asking yourself "Really?" "Come On!"The score I found irritating and the constantly dark sequences and thunder and rain outside is monotonous after the first half hour. The only good thing I can say that caught my attention was the artwork on the DVD cover. I gave it a 2 out of 10. Viewer beware, this film may put you to sleep.

There seems to have been some confusion about the meaning of the title to this film, with viewers quite understandably (but wrongly) assuming that it somehow relates to a sub-zero temperature. My understanding is that the number refers to the seven people that we see at the beginning of the film—the six people in the van, and the cashier at the garage—and that the word 'below' alludes to the perpetual 'hell' in which they are trapped, which in this instance is an eternity in the presence of Ving Rhames and Val Kilmer as they give possibly the worst performances of their careers.Not that Rhames and Kilmer are the only ones at fault in this unmitigated supernatural disaster: the majority of the blame must go to writer/director Kevin Carraway, who clearly had no idea how to develop his script beyond its trite 'we're all doomed to repeat our torment forever' initial concept, the result of which is an hour and a half of utter nonsense (filled with terrible characters and risible dialogue). If the driving force behind the whole film is unable to adequately explain what the hell is going on, then what chance do the cast have? And, consequently, what chance do the viewers have? Suffice to say that the film is incredibly dull, very frustrating and leaves many questions unanswered, the most obvious being 'How the hell did this garbage ever get made?'.N.B.
