An oddly alluring horror flick; it's pretty middling genre fare no matter how you look at it, not terribly scary, and the camera work is aggravating (the director is the man behind The Blair Witch Project, and here his shaky hand is an unwelcome presence). You get to care about the characters, however, and the setting/concept of the film allow for a few unique creative flourishes. Maybe ancient Chinese legends and ritual sacrifices are just cool in my book alone, and Seventh Moon has absolutely nothing to offer, but I found it to be an interesting point to jump into the film from. Amy Smart is believable here and she really seems to give it her all, and her bro-ish Asian boyfriend is an agreeable match for her. This might all be invalidated by the fact that I was pretty tipsy when I watched it, but frankly my friend and I threw it on to laugh at it and were both silenced fairly quickly, so I'm really not sure.
