The Seventh Shadow

1949: When a scientist discovers his worst fears have come true - that horrifying elder beings from another dimension are using cults on Earth to facilitate their enslavement of humanity - he assembles former comrades, associates, and even old enemies in order to combat the menace. Alongside him fight his former assistant, granted superhuman powers, as well as a Canadian soldier, a Russian soldier, an American mobster, a Spanish anarchist, and a jaded beat cop. Against them are arrayed a host of grotesque extra-dimensional creatures, and the mutated human leader of their cult. Humanity's last hope is The Seventh Shadow, but will it be enough to turn back the tide?

Directed by Brian Clement, The Seventh Shadow leans on a strong ensemble — Robert Nolan, Mary Kate Terepka, David Kinsman — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 2009.
