Seven Footprints to Satan is a sound part-talkie 1929 American mystery film directed by Danish filmmaker Benjamin Christensen.

Based on the 1928 story of the same name by Abraham Merritt, it stars Thelma Todd, Creighton Hale, William V. Mong and Sheldon Lewis.

During the course of the film, Jim encounters an old witch, a dwarf, a gorilla and a strange shaggy creature called "The Spider".

An International Sound Version was made for export to non-English speaking audiences by edited the talking sequences and inserting intertitles in them.

The Vitaphone soundtrack for the domestic version however will synchronize with the film in the non-dialogue scenes as these were left intact.

"[12] Movie Age opined that "Maybe we haven't seen all the so-called mystery-drama-thrillers so far released, but of those what we have seen, this Seven Footprints to Satan is one of the poorest.

"[12] A review in Variety similarly called the film "all hokum", noting "another of those fright producers, wholly baffling from start to finish.

"[12] One reviewer in Photoplay stated that they loved the title of the film but found it "just a hodgepodge mystery story"[12] A review in Harrison's Reports commented that "People will no doubt enjoy this picture provided they don't take it seriously.
