Sete Cemitérios

I love Danny Trejo. Everything he makes is great. And that at the age of 80. Respect.

The movie you have to take it with a korreltje zout. Then you can enjoy it. If you look it with a critical eye you rate it with a 4. But come on, it's Danny Trejo, then it's sowieso een voldoende.

I love the humor and the special effects. So i hope there will be a deel 2 in the toekomst.

But you never know. I like the character of Miguel, how he managed to survive with only a hand. That's the humor i like. Efren Ramirez is a real talent and he will schop het ver.

So, i look out for the next movie of our hero, Danny Trejo!

When it comes to a Trejo movie, one always knows that it can go either way, can be a great treat like Desperado or Bad Ass, or it can be some terrible , basically unwatchable garbage.

Seven Cemeteries is somewhere between the two, but closer to the latter. The few raving reviews out there are clearly fake, calling this magnificent and wonderful is ridiculous.

It is still watchable, if only barely. It's incredibly amateurish, as if a bunch of high school kids banded together with a phone as a camera and grabbed a few random guys from the local diner to goof around and call it a movie. There is hardly any story, the acting is basically non existent, dialogues and the script in general are extremely simplistic. The pacing is totally off, at least half of the very short runtime is spent with a slow build, with very little payoff in the end. Let's not even mention the "special effects"... Still, it has a little bit of charm, a few small chuckles. All I can say is that it's not entirely terrible.

Seven Cemeteries is a really fun shoot 'em up flick with a hispanic theme. If you're serious about film, don't bother. This isn't for you. If you like silly, fun, action movies that don't take themselves seriously then this is right up your alley. This is a movie to enjoy with friends and chill out.

Danny Trejo pretty much plays Danny Trejo. Just got out of jail. Comes across a woman in distress and reluctantly comes to her aid. His new (old) posse are a hoot. I won't say much more because I don't want to spoil anything. The blood and gore might be a bit much for people who don't see that stuff very often, but we all thought that it added humor (intentionally).

It was much better than I expected. .

Now, while I hadn't heard about this 2024 movie titled "Seven Cemeteries", I still opted to give it a chance, as I stumbled upon it by random chance here in 2025. Sure, I wasn't harboring the biggest of expectations to the movie.

Writers John Gulager and Joel Soisson put together a fairly enjoyable script. It certainly was something unique, I will say that much. And yeah, it was actually a watchable enough movie, I will say that much.

The movie does have a pretty good cast ensemble, and there are some familiar faces on the cast list, with the likes of Danny Trejo, Lew Temple, Efren Ramirez, Noel Albert Gugliemi and Vincent M. Ward. The acting performances in the movie were fair.

The scene where one of the zombies readjusted his broken neck was so cringeworthy to watch. It was some of the worst looking CGI effects I've seen in a long, long time. It was so fake that even a blind person would go "really?" But other than that, then the effects in the movie were actually fair.

A watchable movie, for sure, but hardly one that warrants more than just a single viewing.

My rating of director John Gulager's 2024 movie "Seven Cemeteries" lands on a five out of ten stars.

A movie about a couple who try to hold off a bunch of criminals down by the border who are trying to muscle them out of their ranch. Things get heated with the criminals and things end up bad so they call in bravo (danny trejo) who of course was was a people's hero back in the day to come and help them out. Thing is bravo has just been released from prison after 40yrs and hes old and all his old gang are long dead and he doesn't really wanna get in trouble but after finding himself on the wrong side of a corrupt local cops stolen rifle things change and he's saved by a lady called bruja who dabbles in the occult and gives him the power to resurrect a squad of dead criminals and heros of his choice back from the dead to help him fight the criminal gang and save the ranch.

This sounded great on paper but in action the movie is pretty terrible. There aren't many funny parts in it and the characters are just cheesy and for some reason all keep dropping jokes about recent events even though they have been dead for 30+ years... It's obviously not a great movie and obviously not a great comedy but its watchable if you have nothing else to do.
