== Plot ==
== Production ==
The idea for an adaptation of the sourcemod fangame originated when the director played it blindly without any knowledge of the game's story or background as a fangame. The screenplay was quickly finished in late June and the movie was officially announced on June 18th, 2023. Filming of the movie began towards the end of the month and continued through July with the movie being edited as more scenes were filmed to save time. Production came to a temporary halt once filming location issues came up and had to be continued in August. The movie was then slated to release on August 30th, 2023 but after wrapping filming on the 22nd, was moved up to the 26th (a Saturday).
Due to the heavily mature nature of the movie's content and imagery, 5 minutes of footage were cut from the theatrical release of Terminal 7. Many scenes were altered to remove excessive violence including large amounts of blood, gore, dead bodies, and a scene of someone's throat being slit. Nothing that completely alters the plot was removed or changed but a large amount of important details that hint towards Luigi's true nature have been cut out or had their presence heavily trimmed down. An uncut version of the movie is said to be released in the near future and will be included on any potential DVD release.
== Reception ==
The initial reaction from audiences was overwhelmingly positive. The story was praised for being intriguing and having depth with many clever twists and turns. The cinematography and VFX were also positively received for being visually entertaining and well done. The general consensus on Terminal 7 was that it's one of the most well-made Overforce projects with a lot of depth and passion behind it. A stark contrast to the movie released a year prior, Project Joker. Audiences viewed the movie less disturbing that anticipated by the creators and were able to understand its themes and story without criticizing the mature nature of the film but were also pleased that many graphic scenes were left out in favor of more interpretive storytelling.
== DVD Release ==
A potential DVD release of Terminal 7 is said to include the original uncut version of the movie and be released at a later point.
