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.
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.
