A rather peculiar film that starts off strong enough, but loses itself in endless conversations. It's a typical noir defect, but instead of your usual crime/thriller elements, The Seventh Victim adds a more supernatural spin to its story. A purely narrative-related matter though, as the film never dares to cross over into horror territory.

Mary's expenses are financed by her sister, but when the paychecks stop coming in, Mary starts to worry about the well-being of her sibling. She travels to New York, where she follows the trail until she hits the Palladists, a strange sect that worships the devil. Word is that her sister joined the sect.

It's a fun enough setup and the beginning of the film is quite mysterious, but it's a pretty cheap film that feels too much like a stage play. Plot progression is dialogue-driven and though the cult could've added some extra spice, it's all quite safe and dull. At least it's short and decently paced, but this deserved a better second half.
