“Some places remember.” That’s the chilling line that sets the tone for 7 Below (also known as Seven Below), a supernatural thriller that blends mystery, horror, and isolation in a house that refuses to forget.

🏚️ The Plot: Trapped in More Than a Storm

When a group of travelers gets caught in a violent storm, they’re forced to take shelter in a remote house deep in the woods. But this isn’t just any house—it’s the site of a gruesome family murder that happened 100 years ago. And the past is about to claw its way into the present.

As the storm intensifies outside, the group realizes they’re not alone. The spirits of the past are watching, waiting… and not all of them are friendly.

👥 Cast Highlights

The film brings together a surprisingly solid cast for a lower-budget horror:

• Val Kilmer (Heat, The Doors) plays a mysterious and unsettling character with secrets of his own.

• Ving Rhames (Pulp Fiction, Dawn of the Dead) brings his signature intensity to the role of the home’s enigmatic caretaker.

• Luke Goss (Hellboy II) adds action credibility to the ensemble.

While the story leans on genre tropes, the performances—especially from Rhames and Kilmer—give it a little more weight than the average B-grade thriller.
