Most characters were written quite poorly and the story does get convoluted at times, but I still enjoyed it quite a lot. I am a sucker for satanic cult films after all.

An unusual film noir where violence has been substituted with mystery and elements of horror. Although quite watered-down as a depiction of the sinister workings of satanic cults, there is enough uncanny suspense to appreciate the effort, and the ending.

Early on a character says dismissively, "Oh, people who talk about suicide don't commit it" and from then on the film becomes a meta-commentary determined to prove the obvious. There's use of negative space - blackness so inviting and devastating it holds its own gravity, a valley of the shadow of death - beautiful in its pull and the meaning it lays in its wake. The film seems to fear life in favor of death. It's kind of a miracle in that regard.

Audaciously tragic mystery begins with Mary (Hunter) searching for her missing sister in NYC's Village, only to find she's fallen prey to a cult. So many aspects worth admiring: the uncompromisingly bleak tone, empathetic depictions of depression and isolation, thoughtful discussions of death, plus all those bohemian Village scene details and vividly drawn minor characters. When Hunter asks her hairdresser if someone they know is unhappy, the hairdresser responds 'I guess most people are, Mary.'

Noir-ish plot that involves a missing woman, except it seems like everyone else knows where she is. The plot is mired down with too many weird angles, but it sure has a creepy ambiance.

I found The Seventh Victim (1943) rather ordinary by 1943 standards. Sure it has it's fetishes and dashes of suspense, but compared to other thrillers from it's time, it's a little weird this one's so rendered for it's influence. Very polished B-movie, no doubt. Mark Robson does great for his first directorial work and Tom Conway provides that elegance the Sanders family was known for. Quality movie, but I don't really see the chilling hype in this one.

Very effective noir where character's backstories seem to cut into one another. The most baffling part of the movie to me was the Cyrano character who I assumed was the actual love interest, not Dude McNobody that admits his love at the end so that we feel less bad for him after his wife...God this movie is bleak. I loved it.

Loved the use of light and shadow, the pacing, and the way director Robson draws out the suspense along the way. The film looks like a standard "what happened to my sister" film, but takes a turn toward the strange and sinister about halfway through. The finale feels choppy, like a scene or two was cut from the script.

Really great atmosphere, so great one can easily forget how much of it is stupid, including the world's most inexplicably ineffectual satanists.

A quantidade de elementos sensacionais nesse filme é infinita, desde adoradores do diabo até suicídio, é ultra dark e o final dele impressiona especialmente levando em consideração a época e país em que foi feito.

What starts off as a fairly typical noir takes a remarkable turn into a very dark and bizarre place. The world these characters inhabit gradually reveals itself as a frightening one filled with existential misery and fear, a world in which death and evil are embraced like life preservers. What a strange and subtly terrifying concept. There's some stunning chiaroscuro photography here as well, and it must have one of the boldest, least typical endings of any Hollywood film of its time.

"The 7th Victim" mixes horror, mystery, occult, and film noir all into one. If you're a fan of any of these genres, I highly recommend this film. You usually can't go wrong with a Val Lewton flick.
