In an ancient time, an evil is about to be unleashed that will reignite the war between the forces of the supernatural and humankind. Master Gregory (Bridges) imprisoned Mother Malkin centuries earlier, now she has escaped and is seeking vengeance. Summoning followers of every incarnation, the witch is preparing to unleash her terrible wrath on an unsuspecting world.

"Watching Seventh Son is a bit like reading instructions that have been translated into English by someone who doesn’t actually speak the language. Sadly the creative team behind this star-studded effort just don’t speak fantasy."

Flicks

"Amounts to nothing short of a creative miscarriage."

—

Variety

"Overstuffed, but swift and unpretentious..."

—

The Dissolve

"I know it's early, but "Seventh Son" may actually be the worst movie of the year. It will most certainly be a contender."

—

Los Angeles Times

"Certainly watchable but far from memorable..."

—

Hollywood Reporter

"Ends up being a movie about walking, interrupted occasionally by a battle against a mythological monster."

—

Entertainment Weekly

"Brisk and unpretentious, though the fact that these two qualities can be considered remarkable probably says more about the state of modern genre filmmaking than it does about the movie itself."
