Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Leofwine_draca SEVENTH MOON is another missed opportunity from director Eduardo Sanchez, the man who brought us THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT back in 1999. It's quickly becoming obvious that Sanchez was a one-hit wonder and his subsequent movies have been forgettable at best. This is the worst I've seen from him, a stupid, all but plotless exercise in would-be scares, in which a miscast Amy Smart and her husband head off to China during the 'hungry ghost' festival. They encounter spirits and malignant beings while there, but the whole thing is shot in near pitch blackness so more often than not you have no idea what's going on. It's just two actors, a camera, and jumps here and there. Smart's incessant screaming becomes wearisome early on and the film just goes on and on and on without ending, so it's a good cure for insomnia. I'm afraid I hated every minute of it.

p-stepien A pair of newlyweds decide to spend their honeymoon in China, where Yul (Tim Chiou) intends to visit his relatives, including his grandmother Nai Nai. His love Melissa (Amy Hart) finds joy in their first days of stay, extremely pleased with the exotic appeal of the Hungry Ghost festival. After this event they drive out to finally visit Yul's family, only for their driver Ping (Dennis Chan) to get lost somewhere in the Chinese countryside. He goes into a small village to ask for directions, but fails to return. Yul and Melissa set out to find him, but instead encounter offerings of live animals. Apparently the ghosts are not a myth, but actually the Asian cousins of the crawlers (from the movie "Descent").Eduardo Sánchez of "Blair With Project" fame executes his new endeavour with some old-style classical frights mixed with some of his trademark hand-held camera filming. All mounted assuredly on the shoulders of a rather traditional and unadventurous script together with some rip-off monsters. In short - nothing really innovative or creative of note. That said all elements are well handled. The eeriness, frights and basic storytelling is all present and as such manage to engage for the duration. Several plot points to stick out like a sore thumb and given how little of a story there actually was it is a major flaw of the movie. The biggest irk is the seemingly unresolved issue of Yul's final wish.Nonetheless a horror with a very classical feel to it. It won't get extra marks for pushing any boundaries, but definitely heads over heels above most horrors churned out nowadays. The rating on IMDb does seem on the low side for my taste, especially given how highly graded dozens of craptacular genre pieces are.Both leads do a decent enough job to make you care for their fate, but the script would have done better with some further character build-up. As it is the movie feels awkwardly rushed in many places, but overlong in others. Despite not being a hand-held camera fan I found that this time around it worked especially well and added some gritty tension to the story delivery.

trashgang Eduardo Sánchez, his name will always be remembered as the writer of Blair Witch Project. It was a hype it was frightening and scary even as no blood was used, still people watched under their bed for days after watching BWP. When the hype surrounding BWP was over all people involved in the project disappeared. Suddenly there was a new movie from Eduardo Sánchez after the failure BWP 2. Altered was the title but it flopped in some ways, still it was good. Now he deliver us this flick. Again in documentary style, you know, shaky and out of focus camera's. But this time the storyline is weak, some scene's are too long and be honest, we have seen it all before with all those remakes of Japanese ghost movies like The Grudge and others. It was never frightening, there isn't any blood, okay, used blood but no gore or anything else. When the driver disappears you immediately knows what his role is in the ghost world. I have seen better, more scary flicks about ghosts last year like End Of The Line, maybe Sánchez has reached the end of the line?

Chris Smith (RockPortReview) This movie is part of the Ghost House Underground series of horror movies produced by Sam Raimi's company. If you've read any of my previous reviews you would know that he is one of my favorite directors. This movie was also directed by one of the co-creators of "The Blair Witch Project," Eduardo Sanchez. Starring uber-hottie Amy Smart, I had relatively high hopes, but was supremely disappointed. I hoped for steak and got Spam.The whole story is based on an old Chinese myth that on the full moon of the seventh lunar month the gates of hell open and the dead are free to roam the earth and feed. Smart's character, Melissa is on her honeymoon in China with her Chinese husband Yul. She is completely misused and he is just a big whining dufuss. This film is so horribly shot it makes you want to rip your eyes out. Filmed in almost complete darkness, and with shaky hand held cameras. Shooting a horror movie in the dark is nothing new, but for some reason it's just so frustrating to watch. It's hard to tell what's going on, but then even if you did know it wouldn't be that interesting in the first place. In a way its like "Blair Witch" but then again it is also very different. The creatures are not zombies, but ravenous chalk skinned goons. I like the ideas and the myth in this movie, but it completely missed its mark. I will end this unpleasant review by saying that the best thing on the DVD is a five minute featurette in the extras of an old 1980's Chinese television special on the seventh moon myth.
