Until IMDB either has writers that spellcheck their description or hires those whose first language is English every movie I review is getting a 5 or less no matter how good it is. It's getting annoying.

THE 7 is a very low budget rip-off of THE DESCENT, the Neil Marshall film about an all-girl group of spelunkers running afoul of something indescribably evil hidden in the depths of the cave system which they're exploring. This film tells almost exactly the same storyline, except on a really cheap budget so that you can't really see what's going on, everything is so low key and off-screen. Even so, the film has a better look and shooting style than I was expecting, and even manage to build some atmosphere, so it's of a better class than the real no budget amateur productions.

Saw a screener of this, aware of the film's budget, and was pleasantly surprised by the production values and realistic performances. A similarly themed film, The Cave, with a budget over a hundred times greater, wasn't nearly as atmospheric (and definitely not as funny). Lacking the money to dazzle us with special effects (and who is still dazzled by them anyway?), the filmmakers put their efforts into artful set and sound design, lighting, photography, score and, most importantly, believable performances. The two leads were particularly good, with a sweet chemistry, and lots of star potential, and the bitchy blond was especially funny. If you need piles of fabulous special effects, this probably won't do it for you, but if you like intelligently crafted little movies, check it out.

I think this is a very complete movie. You can find romance, you're gonna laugh, you're gonna be scared. A very well done job with new actors and with a really low budget. You can tell they all worked really hard for this. This was the first time for Adam Shlachter directing. Congrats to him!. This movie shows that you don't need thousands and thousand of dollars to do a good film. You just need a good team. Director, actors, etc. and of course a good and authentic script. I think it has a very creative and humorist script although it's a movie. Special effects did a really good job. Don't miss it. Loved the ending! It keeps the option open for a second part!
