    • Trivia
      The mountain is called Pendle Mountain after Pendle Hill in England. In 1612, 12 people from the area around Pendle Hill were tried for witchcraft. Mother Malkin was most likely named after Malkin Tower, the house where Demdike (one of the witches tried in the Lancashire Witch Trials in 1612) lived. Malkin was local slang for excrement.
    • Goofs
      Every shot of the moon (except for once during the credits) shows a partially-lit moon with the illuminated portion angled upward and away from Earth. This is possible during daytime, but not at night, which all of the scenes with the moon were.
    • Quotes

      Tom Ward: [sniffs a flask and retches] That is disgusting. What does that kill?

      Master Gregory: [drinks from the flask] Cowardice.

    Fun but forgettable

    This film tells the tale of a seventh son from a village, who is chosen by a master to fight the evil witch who will rule the land.

    "Seventh Son" is one of the rare mediaeval fantasy film, that don't seem to be made anymore. This fantasy tale is entertaining, and Julianne Moore gives a good performance of a cold blooded witch. The story itself is not particularly interesting or engaging, and there is little thrill. The film is heavily reliant on computer generated graphics, but we have been wowed by "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" already. Hence, "Seventh Son" offers nothing new, and only offers a brainless way to kill two hours.
