Seventh Son (12A)

Seventh Son (12A)

Action, Adventure, Fantasy

Young Thomas is apprenticed to the local Spook to learn to fight evil spirits. His first great challenge comes when the powerful Mother Malkin escapes her confinement while the Spook is away.


The critical consensus

This swords-and-sorcery throwback has little imagination on display, instead doubling down on computer-generated flair to pass the time.

**(*)(*)(*)William Goss, Empire Online, 23/03/2015

A swollen budget, a mini-Big Lewbowski reunion, and top-notch digital effects fail to enliven proceedings in yet another ho-hum dragon chaser based on a YA novel.

**(*)(*)(*)Ken McIntyre, Total Film, 23/03/2015

Oscar-winners Moore and Bridges may well be taking the money and running, but thankfully they leave behind a plethora of memorably silly moments for connoisseurs of truly bad films to treasure.

It's fine. Dragons fight, pillars fall over, people scream to the heavens. You know the drill…

**(*)(*)(*)David Jenkins, Little White Lies, 26/03/2015

It’s lively and daft, and you find yourself wondering: all this expertise, and the best anybody could think to do with it was this?

**(*)(*)(*)Mike McCahill, The Guardian, 26/03/2015

The film is enjoyable enough if taken as a cheesy, old-fashioned B-movie with a taste of Ray Harryhausen about it.

**(*)(*)(*)Geoffrey MacNab, The Independent, 27/03/2015

Verdict: Daft fantasy epic.

**(*)(*)(*)Brian Viner, Daily Mail, 27/03/2015

Not even Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore can save this sword-and-sorcery saga.
