The Seventh Victim

The Seventh Victim is a moody, suspenseful, and eerie tale of a young girl (Kim Hunter) searching for her missing sister and in the process discovering a devil-worshipping cult in the heart of New York City. This is one of the many fine Val Lewton produced “B” thrillers of the 1940s which also include “The Cat People”, “Curse of the Cat People”, “Isle of the Dead”, and “The Body Snatcher” among others. As with all Lewton productions, the terror lies in not what is seen but what is unseen.
