The premise

Like many happy people, Bruno Hamel is leading an uneventful life until one afternoon, when his daughter is raped and murdered. When the murderer is arrested, a terrible project germinates in Bruno's darkened mind. He plans to capture the "monster" and make him pay for his crime.

Horror Vault's take

When a father's world is shattered by the rape and murder of his daughter, grief curdles into something far darker than sorrow. Taking matters violently into his own hands, he sets a brutal plan in motion against the man responsible — with a ticking clock running against him. Seven Days is an unflinching Quebec thriller that forces viewers to wrestle with their own moral instincts as they watch a sympathetic man do monstrous things. It's less a horror film than a sustained, agonizing examination of what vengeance truly costs.
