FILM FORUM CORONADO: “Seventh Victim”

Coronado Public Library, in partnership with the Coronado Island Film Festival, presents FILM FORUM CORONADO, taking place the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the library’s Winn Room. Film expert Ralph DeLauro provides a brief introduction to each film and leads a discussion afterwards, often including pointers about how lighting or camera angles contribute to a scene’s mood or propel the story.

October 7: Seventh Victim (1943, Approved, 71 min)

Conjured from the imagination of visionary B-movie impresario Val Lewton comes this subversive, slow burn mix of menace and metaphysics. A young woman leaves the safety of her boarding school for the bohemian atmosphere of Greenwich Village to track down her missing sister who has fallen in with a secret cult.
