“The Seventh Day” (** out of four) was a trite horror thriller about a renowned paranormal preacher (Guy Pearce) who teams up with a rookie priest (Vadhir Derbez) to expunge (yawn) a satanical form of evil with roots deep within the church and this brings their investigation back to their archbishop (Stephen Lang) and to their own moral and religious core beliefs. Good cast and direction tries to enliven this as much as possible but the story decays into sheer corn and covers all-too-familiar paranormal/satannical/religious ground. Watch “The Seventh Sign” instead.
