In 1976, police chief Carl Farrell drove to the lonely country house of the Kosinki couple, as it had not been seen for weeks. The officer finds the woman drowned in her TV chair while her husband appears to have gone mad. Over 20 years later, the Shaw couple move into the house; Both are looking for peace after their son Tommy died in an accident. Martin Shaw is a best-selling author but suffers from writer's block.

Ellen Shaw suddenly begins to see strange signs. Like a countdown, she first sees a 7 on the bathroom mirror, then sees the message that she only has six days to live. She is also tormented by nightmares. Meanwhile, her husband isolates himself from his wife in the locked cellar. Ellen Shaw researches the history of the house and drives to the former police chief Carl Farrell, who tells her about the events of 1976. She finds out that her house was built on a medieval execution site. Back in the house, she meets her husband, who has meanwhile gone mad, who is dragging her into the cellar. She can escape to the hospital, but is brought back to the house by her husband. Farrell comes to her aid and Ellen manages to break the spell. After they leave the house, it sinks into the swamp.

criticism

"Enjoyable without high standards, on closer inspection hardly better than other horror movies."

- Outnow

"Without even the slightest hint of its own accent," 7 Days to Live "bends painfully worn out horror conventions and appears amateurish, unmotivated to involuntarily funny due to the most stupid dialogue work. It remains nothing more than a moderately exciting, with the most unimaginative copyist mentality wound down, quick shot production between thriller and flat mystery, which tries in vain to emulate American box office hits.
