Community Reviews
Opinions on 'Seventh Son' are mixed, leaning towards the negative. While one viewer who isn't typically a fan of the genre found it surprisingly decent, especially for enthusiasts of witch-themed films, others expressed strong disappointment. Criticisms include a failure to faithfully adapt the source material, condensing too much content into a single film, and overall poor execution that not even the cast could redeem. The movie received a low score from a critic and was not saved by endorsements.
👍 Appealing to witch-film fans
👎 Poor adaptation of the book
