Synopsis:

During the 1940's, producer Val Lewton created a style of horror film that remains an important influence on the genre even today. His specialty: psychological terror, relying on the powers of the viewer's imagination. And nowhere is his hand more evident than in this mystery revolving around devil-worship.

The story concerns young Mary Gibson (Kim Hunter, in her film debut) who leaves her boarding school to search for her older and strangely missing sister Jacqueline (Jean Brooks)--only to find herself unexpected ensnared by a satanic cult operating in New York's Greenwich Village. When Jean Brooks disappears, her innocent sister (Kim Hunter) sets out to find her in the seamier regions of Greenwich Village. What she finds instead is a satanic cult with the intent of applying the title to her.

Released in 1943, THE SEVENTH VICTIM is not quite in the same league with such Lewton films as I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE and THE LEOPARD MAN--but it is astonishing just the same. The story concerns young Mary Gibson (Kim Hunter, in her film debut) who leaves her boarding school to search for her older and strangely missing sister Jacqueline (Jean Brooks)--only to find herself unexpected ensnared by a satanic cult operating in New York's Greenwich Village.

Although the story line is a bit choppy, director Mark Robson guides it with a sure hand. Hunter, Brooks, and an exceptional supporting cast including Lewton favorites Tom Conway and Elizabeth Russell give the low-key but effective performances one associates with a Lewton film; the story offers a number of unexpected twists; and the cinematography is the light-and-shadow trademark of a Lewton production at its best.
