Film Review for Seven in Heaven
The movie, called Seven in Heaven, puts a twist on the classic kissing game, and it’s directed by Chris Eigeman, who played Jason on Gilmore Girls. In the film, Jude (Travis Tope) and June (Hayley Ramm) step into a secret closet together while playing a party game similar to SMIH. Instead of doing whatever they like in the closet for seven minutes, they fall into an alternate reality. Jude discovers that all of his fears come true, and if they don’t get back before the door closes, then they’ll be stuck there forever.
You might recognize the movie’s star, Travis, from playing Kevin McClaine in American Vandal, the guy who is accused of poisoning his high school’s cafeteria food, leading to an outbreak of diarrhea in season two of the Netflix comedy. His costar Hayley, meanwhile, played young Jean Grey in X-Men: The Last Stand.
Some Netflix viewers have already watched the film and have been tweeting their intense reactions. One hopes there will be a follow-up series, tweeting, “@netflix you should make a seven in heaven series. That movie was wayyyyyy to good to end there.” Another tweeted, “I am watching “seven in heaven” and it’s a pretty fun teen horror film which is very uncanny valley alt universe and it feels kinda 80s teen horror at times.”
And if you need more recs, Netflix has added a bunch of new horror offerings for this spooky month, including The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina series (which comes out on October 26) and other originals, like Creeped Out and Apostle.
