The Seventh Sign

Yeah.

Have you ever seen The Seventh Sign with Demi Moore? No, but that sounds so familiar.

It is about a woman and the seven signs of the apocalypse seem to be happening.

And yeah, it's a really interesting movie from, I believe, either the early 90s or the late 80s.

the mouth of madness all right what's your history with this one

yeah so my history with this i think i've mentioned this before i grew up in a household of three older brothers and we just consumed horror movies relentlessly right so i think by the time i was eight i'd probably seen every friday the 13th nightmare on elm street texas chainsaw massacre So this movie was released in around 95, at least in the cinemas, February of 95.

So it was inevitable we were going to watch this on new release at our house.

And I seem to remember it would have been like a Sunday afternoon, you know, the fire on in the lounge watching this film.

Given it was a John Carpenter movie, you know, we would have had high hopes for Sam Neill, a Kiwi in the main role.

and i remember like enjoying it but it quickly kind of faded from my memory and i think probably because it wasn't that gory cheesy horror movie that we were used to consuming it just quickly faded from my mind really until sam neill passed away what two or three months ago and i was looking through his filmography and it struck me again i was like i remember watching that and i did enjoy it and i was like i want to revisit that again and then you know what there's a podcast which revisits old

films

how good was that yeah How about you guys? Have you guys seen it before?

Um-

I watched this movie, um, a couple days ago, um, right after Seventh Sign, and I feel like I liked Seventh Sign better because I watched [laughs] this right after.

Like, I was like, "Uh," I was like, "Oh wow, maybe, maybe movies are, like, [laughs] better than this." Um, I, I, even, I think it was yesterday I was like, "Holy crap, how am I gonna talk about Silverhide?" And I know we've said that a million times.

We've said, like, "Oh, how are we gonna cover a movie?" And I know we'll make it through this one, but this is one of the most incomprehensible movies I've seen.

I spun the wheel.

I got 1980s, so I looked for the first horror 1980s movie when I searched for it, and, um, we ended up with The Seventh Sign from 1988, directed by Carl Schultz, you know, the Peanuts guy, uh, directorial debut.

Oh.

Yeah, you didn't know that? You didn't-

Um, but this is a movie from her I have never heard of.

This was my first time hearing about this.

Ryan, have you ever heard of The Seventh Sign?

Never.

Yeah, okay.

What is the seventh sign from 1988? A young woman, and it has a horror tag, and it stars Demi Moore.

All right.

Demi and Michael Biehn.

All right, so yeah, I guess this is the choice.

The seventh sign from 1988.

Wow, out of all the 80s horror movies, this is what we're going with.

That's what's so fun about this.

Yeah.

Bright Lights, Big City, The Fox and the Hound, The Seventh Sign, Colors.

Moonstruck, Good Morning Vietnam, I remember my mom and I went and saw that movie in 88.

I would have been 10 years old and she hated it.

The Last Emperor and Stand and Deliver.

Beetlejuice led the April chart with more than $43 million that month.

Some of the horror releases, of course, The Seventh Sign, April 1st, Bad Dreams, April 8th.

Do you know this movie?
