Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review Seas boil, heavens fall, and Demi Moore takes a candlelit bath in this effective apocalyptic chiller. The prosthetic-enhanced Moore plays a pregnant non-believer whose baby may hold the key to impending Armageddon. Logic is not exactly the strong point in this well-acted, stylish, theological grab bag, but the random collection of horrific images manages to work more often than not in this acceptable time waster for fans of IThe Omen/I and IThe Exorcist/I. Also starring Michael Biehn (IThe Terminator/I), the always-welcome John Heard in a brief cameo and the exceptional Jürgen Prochnow as a mysterious stranger who could either be from the extreme North or way, way down South. --IAndrew Wright/I

Customer Reviews: Last time He came as a Lamb: this time He comes as a Lion! July 8, 2000 3 out of 3 found this review helpful What a great movie! The story grips you and takes you all the way with special effects and good dialogue. It will make you want to read the Book of Revelations! I did! What a Great Story! January 2, 2005 3 out of 4 found this review helpful I saw this film when it first came out on the big screen in the the 80s and I loved it.pI'm not a big Demi Moore fan, but I thought she was great in this. It's a movie with a fine cast and a wonderfully, memorable story that will leave you touched. So touched, that I burst into tears the next day when I was telling my Mom about it!pIf you like the "good v evil" theme, this is definately worth a go. Seventh Sign August 10, 2009 P. J. Dawes (Brighton, England) I had this on VHS many years ago, I just had update my collection to include this great film "I came as the lamb but I return as the lion." December 22, 2007 Trevor Willsmer (London, England) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful The Seventh Sign, a surprisingly effective piece of Apocalyptic guf from the days when Demi Morre's breasts were still real and she could still play likeable characters. It's quite shameless in the way it invents additional verses to the Bible to support its hotchpotch of apocalyptic predictions and throws in elements from everything from The Wandering Jew to Rosemary's Baby, yet it all works surprisingly well, mostly because the cast and director Carl Schultz take it completely seriously, even pulling off a surprisingly touching ending. Clearly the Fundamentalists were too busy threatening to firebomb the theatres playing The Last Temptation that season to note the film's own unique interpretation of a pissed-off Christ who has lost all patience with humanity: "I came as the lamb but I return as the lion." br / br /No extras aside from trailers for About Last Night and Mortal Thoughts, but a fairly good 2.35:1 widescreen transfer. DON'T THEY KNOW IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD?... June 27, 2009 Lawyeraau (Balmoral Castle) This Apocalyptic thriller is pure entertainment. It centers around the seven signs that signal that the end of the world is nigh. When those signs start appearing around the world, the only question is whether the world can be saved. It seems that the answer to that question lies in the grasp of one person. Who is that one person to be? br / br /A very young Demi Moore stars as Abby Quinn, a pregnant woman with a history of miscarriages. She and her husband are eagerly and hopefully awaiting their baby. He is a lawyer who is passionate about his clients. One, in particular, the Word of God Killer, has some significance in how events unfold in the film. The Quinns live in a lovely home with an apartment over their garage that they rent to a mysterious stranger (Jurgen Prochnow) who purports to be a teacher of ancient languages. br / br /Unfortunately, Abby has some issues, as well as a penchant for having a recurring dream that figures prominently in things to come. As the events unfold in the film, one has to suspend belief, as Abby does things that no one having a high risk pregnancy would do, and the plot spirals into being almost ridiculous at times. Still, notwithstanding its deficiencies, the film manages to entertain the viewer and keep one's interest. br / br /The film has some excellent performances, including that of Peter Friedman as a man of the cloth with a long past. It is Jurgen Prochnow, however, who steals the entire show as David Bannon, the mysterious teacher of ancient languages who seems to carry the weight of the world upon his shoulders. Who he ultimately turns out to be is entirely believable. His performance is so compelling that those sharing a scene with him fade into the background. While exuding sensitivity and caring, he also manages to be one of the sexiest men on the silver screen. His performance is what makes this film worth watching.
