What happens

Seventh Son is a 2014 action fantasy film directed by Sergei Bodrov, and starring Ben Barnes, Jeff Bridges, Alicia Vikander, Kit Harington, Olivia Williams, Antje Traue, Djimon Hounsou and Julianne Moore. It is loosely based on the 2004 novel The Spook's Apprentice by Joseph Delaney. The story centers on Thomas Ward, a seventh son of a seventh son, and his adventures as the apprentice of the Spook. After having its release date shifted numerous times, the film was released in France on December 17, 2014, and in Canada and the United States on February 6, 2015 by Universal Pictures. The film was a box-office bomb, earning $114 million against its production budget of $95–110 million, with an estimated loss of $85 million, and was panned by critics, who criticized the script, performances and visual effects.
