The Worst Film Ever
Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Blistering performances.
The low score (4. something as of 9-18-17) has got to be a matter of personal preferences since the acting, camera use, special effects, and storyline, are all presented well above the quality of an average independent or lower budget non Hollywood movie!! This film's story line is original. Each patient that comes before the doctor, has their own short story line, keeping the movie fresh, interesting and fast paced.I saw many familiar faces of soon to be stars, (two will be in Game Of Thrones in future years) and I agree with most reviewers who state that the acting is very adequate up to very well done.Any Horror fan who doesn't need the physical violence and bloody gore to consider a film a true horror will be very satisfied with this horror/thriller. There is a bit of blood/guts but certainly not the main focus which is how I prefer my movies.Any Thriller fan will enjoy this film and the twist at the end.
I'm so glad I didn't miss this one due to poor reviews!Yes, it's far from revolutionary, and it isn't super scary, but it does have that awesome, spooky, kind of old school charm to it. Honestly, in the seas of pretentious horror crap with pathetically weak story lines, this simple yet entertaining 7-piece has an almost soothing effect. It WOULD'VE been awesomer if they pushed that clichéd oldschool angle a bit further, but it works just fine the way it is.Some of the sequences are downright 100% awesome, some don't work that well, but overall it never gets boring. I see many complaints about the main story, but that story is basically just a glue to tie the 7 shorts together, and it works more than well in that regard.If you love Halloween anthologies as much as I do, you'll probably like this one, too. Give it a go. If you have older/teen kids, invite them as well. Cheers!
I can honestly say that this is the worst film I've ever seen in my life. The only reason I watched it till the end was due to the fact that the trailer gave me some hope! Dialogue was terrible, acting was terrible, story was terrible. It was a very very very poor mans shutter island.It's like the director got the most basic horror film elements (zombies, vampires, demons, murderers) and tried to cram them all into a 2 hour film.The whole mental institution idea and the patients being connected had the potential to be a really good film, but it was so poorly executed that it was actually embarrassing to watch.So many loose ends that were never tied up. I can't stress enough just how bad every aspect of this film is.
I'm sure you've read the short plot summary or seen a trailer. Seven mentally ill criminals, telling their stories to a psychiatrist writing a book, and all that in a Horror story... what could go wrong? Well, if you've sat down to watch this with high expectations - everything. If you haven't - well, just enough to make you feel alright about taking the time to give it a chance, but a bit guilty for enjoying parts of it, as altogether - Patient Seven is far from good.Let me start with the good parts, firstly the acting. I was pretty impressed, but I couldn't tell you precisely with whom (and if you try to look at the cast list here, you'll understand why, perhaps they used the time an effort they should have used to make a better film to make the cast list cryptic and incomprehensible, good for them!). Secondly, the stories are well presented and fun to follow.Now the bad parts - anything and everything else. The "plot twist" bluntly stolen from another film, the sorry conclusion, the realization that yes, it was actually made this badly and I've just spent 2 hours watching it... Yes, the stories are enjoyable, but having a build up crash so pathetically really destroys the experience for me. I honestly felt like punching the screenwriter. Besides, the plots are too "all-star", meaning trying to combine as many horror aspects as possible (vampires, haunting, zombies, psycho killers etc.) and doing a mediocre and below job.Watching it was kinda fun, until it ended and became the most disappointing Horror film I've ever watched (and that's saying something). Do NOT watch this. I guess rating it a 1 isn't all that fair, but neither was making this film to begin with or stealing an ending. Yeah, I'll go with 1.
