Val Lewton movie on tonight on Australian free-to-air TV


The Seventh Victim is not a fun feel-good movie, but please don't take that to mean it is gritty realism or anything like that. It isn't. Like most of the films produced by Lewton, it operates within the realm of psychology and the emotions and the imagination, and is rightly regarded as a horror movie, but a step or four above the average B-grade shocker. But please don't take that to mean that the movie has supernatural things happening in it. I don't recall that it does. Just watch it, but be warned; the sadness and alienation that blows through all Lewton movies has a wind chill factor in this one at the extreme end of the scale.
