Reasons to Watch

Seven Days is a film that only horror fans can appreciate. When it comes to revenge films, it’s difficult to think of other revenge films that are as realistic as this one. Only watch this movie if you are mentally prepared, as nothing is glorified or humorous.

There’s no music in Seven Days, not even during the credits, which adds to the stark realism and seriousness of the story. The plot, though simple, is a powerful exploration of a parent’s psychology and their struggle with grief and anger. By the end of the film, you’ll be questioning what you would do as a parent in this situation.

Again, this is a very graphic film that can be difficult to watch, especially if you’re a parent.
