Another stylish chiller from Val Lewton’s RKO unit
As a longtime booster of The Cat People, I tended to give the credit to its director Jacques Tourneur (later to helm Out of the Past). Seeing The Seventh Victim, also from Val Lewton’s B-movie unit at RKO, changed all that. It seems Lewton was the resident genius, cobbling together stylish horror/suspense films on shoestring budgets. The young Kim Hunter, away at a private school, learns that her tuition hasn’t been paid because her sister, owner of a beauty empire, has disappeared. She leaves school and starts scouring New York’s Greenwich Village (also the locale of much of The Cat People) only to uncover a cult of devil worshipers. Lewton’s thrillers haven’t dated the way James Whale’s, for instance, have, possibly because they depend so heavily on suggestion; the literalness of today’s “horror” films is completely alien to these suggestive, truly chilling films. The RKO B-movie unit under Lewton was also, probably, a major influence on the look of film noir, soon to become the cutting-edge aesthetic in American movies. This is as tense and satisfying a 75 minutes as you’ll find until the Mann/Alton team’s seminal noirs of a few years later.
Unique
I ran this tape for a few seconds to see if it was in good condition, and I was so drawn in by the hypnotic atmosphere that I dropped all else and watched the whole movie. Such is its power, it won,t let you go. Every relationship in the movie felt real and credible, despite the extreme circumstances.Lewton is a humanitarian, which is why his movies have so much more profundity than most film noir. You really feel that you care about his characters, even the sleazy satanists (similar to the way he had made Irena the cat-woman a kind and gentle person, where anyone else would have cast her as a tough cookie). All the characters in this movie are complex people of the sort he must have known in his New York days, and the poet manque is likely a self portrait. And who else would quote John Donne’s poetry in a thriller.
It will take repeated viewings for me (and you) to understand The Seventh Victim, but the sombre mood will communicate itself immediately.
Be alert for little details throughout- especially at the end, which comes suddenly.
