The Seventh Scroll

1999 · 1 season

A pulpy adventure with ancient curses and family drama, easy to watch but rarely gripping.

Overview: Past and present intertwine when an archaeologist and her husband find a mysterious child on the banks of the Nile and adopt him. But the more they learn about the lost tomb of Pharaoh Mamose, the more Hapi, the little child, is plagued by frightening visions. Soon it is clear that powerful forces are trying to prevent the couple from finding the tomb.
How it feels: Tense, earnest, eerie and melancholic. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Mystery, family, obsession, fate
Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
