  • Small rural towns in Spain. It's the 80s. Well, 1990. People over there know each other and insane blood feuds are kept and executed in the name of honor, family, land or plain old craziness. A bloody, brutal ending. Based on a true story. Damn!

  • Inspired by real life events, The 7th Day , Carlos Saura's Spanish family feud drama, builds to the queasiest of climaxes. Watching this film left me feeling like I had fought a battle, which I intend as a compliment.

  • While the performances are very good in most cases, the uninspired direction and cinematography work against it. But otherwise, it is a more than solid recreation of one of the pivotal moments in Spain's true-crime history.
