Russell and Abby Quinn are expecting the birth of their first child. After taking on an eccentric boarder at their guest house, the Quinn's first think David may be somehow trying to abduct their child, but as Abby begins to have trouble with the baby, the world around the Quinns seems to be changing. With the aid of their friend Father Lucci, the Quinns will have to come to grips with what may or not be happening with their unborn child, but they must find the answers before the seventh sign.

The Seventh Sign in my opinion, has one of the best openings ever in a movie. When Jurgen Prochnow as David steps off of the small raft and walks to the water's edge and snaps the small seal on an old piece of paper and walks away as the water boils and the dead fish are hurled onto the beach by incoming tide, I thought this one is gonna be good and it should have been.

The film also has a pretty good cast going for it. Along with Prochnow we also get Demi Moore and a very rare gunless Michael Biehn in the roles of the ultra WASP Quinns. Biehn is good as the devoted to be father, but Moore seemed to whine and cry most of the film, but her raspy voice is enough to keep me interested in any movie she is in.

The film follows a semi biblical look at the possible birth of the Anti-Christ and the ending of the world, not a totally original idea, but not a bad attempt at it either. Think of The Seventh Sign as an Omen knock off for the 90's.

Full of flashback dreams and flash forward visions the film is a slow but satisfying vision of the end of times. This is a horror/thriller that many women will truly enjoy as the film reaches deeply into the bonds of motherhood as the film tries to show exactly how far a mother would go to protect or care for her child.
