This film seems to divide people in two groups. Some find it very amusing and witty, a sort of modernist revamping of Agatha Christie clichés. Others fail to enjoy it at all.
True, the movie appears somewhat theatrical and stilted, but that's the artistic choice of the creators, because it's above all a parody of vintage horror genre (there were a lot of seance and clairvoyant themed films in the 1940s). Some people might find the acting irritating because it's rather over the top, but the ensemble forms a coherent whole. There are a lot of accents but I guess that too is something that Old Hollywood had, importing all those European stars.
It's a tad too talkative and eager to explain all the plot twists (and there are many), but at least I didn't walk away thinking 'this was utterly improbable'. Moody camera work and darkly suggestive music help to create the atmosphere. A couple of fun jump scares.

I have to say this offered no surprises nor thrills. Not a bad movie per se, but just a so-so waste of time. A woman falls under the spell of a mysterious man who offers her a life of forbidden pleasures. Guided by the mistresses of his secret club, she must choose to either resist and run or give in to her submissive side to fulfill her wildest fantasies. That's about all there is, only the mysteries are lukewarm and the pleasures are not as forbidden as they're made out to look. The lead character of 7th Secret, Marissa Kelly (Amanda Figueroa), doesn't tell her husband about her sexual kink. She wants to be spanked, but she's too ashamed to tell her upstanding, running for District Attorney husband Kris (Michael Patrick Lane). Watch it but don't expect too much.
