Plot Summary
As the movie begins, we satisfy Abby Quinn (Demi Moore), a pregnant woman who is anxiously getting ready for the birth of her kid. Abby and her other half, Russell (Michael Biehn), lease their garage house to the strange David Bannon (Jurgen Prochnow). All at once, strange worldwide phenomena happen, such as a river in Haiti relying on blood, a desert in Israel from which gemstones flood, and a liveable temperature blizzard in the Middle East.

As Abby learns more about David better, she discovers that he can predict these apocalyptic events, which correspond to the biblical end-time predictions. Distressingly, these are the first 6 seals leading to disasters, as explained in the Revelation of John. David exposes that he is, in truth, the wandering Jew, set to stroll the earth until Christ's second coming. Abby recognizes that the breaking of the seventh seal, prophesied to be broken upon the birth of a godless child, accompanies her due date.

Emerging Conflicts
On the other hand, Abby's husband, Russell, a defense attorney, is involved in a capital punishment case defending a psychologically disabled male called Jimmy, who killed his abusing moms and dads. Despite Russell's efforts, the court orders Jimmy's execution, set up on the precise date of Abby's due delivery. Present at Jimmy's execution, Father Lucci (Peter Friedman), who supervises Bannon but has actually despaired, states that God does not intervene, triggering Abby to fear more for her coming child.

Climax and Resolution
Recognizing Jimmy as the last martyr prior to the seventh seal breaks and ends the world, Abby steps in prior to Jimmy's execution, resulting in her early labor. On the edge of death, Abby offers her life for her kid, symbolically breaking the wax of the seventh seal with her bloody finger, preventing the Apocalypse. As Abby passes away, her baby lives, in essence, sacrificing herself. This indicates the re-emergence of Jesus and halts the world's end.

Conclusion
The "Seventh Sign" is a deep exploration of horror with theological foundations. It masterfully combines the supernatural with eerily possible international phenomena, making the hazard of Apocalypse seem real. Demi Moore gives a commendable efficiency illustrating a roller rollercoaster of emotions, from stress and anxiety to nerve, from anguish to hope. The film's suspense depends on the impending breaking of the seventh seal, developing a cause and effect that drives the narrative to its stirring climax. Last but not least, the film reiterates the power of faith and self-sacrifice to conquer the direst of scenarios. This crossway of religious beliefs, horror, and human spirit makes "The Seventh Sign" an unique cinematic experience.
