Se7en
Directed by David Fincher
Two homicide detectives are on a desperate hunt for a serial killer whose crimes are based on the "seven deadly sins" in this dark and haunting film that takes viewers from the tortured remains of one victim to the next. The seasoned Det. Somerset researches each sin in an effort to get inside the killer's mind, while his novice partner, Mills, scoffs at his efforts to unravel the case. From TMDB

Critics, per Wikipedia
Seven received generally positive reviews. Critics including Roger Ebert, Desson Howe, and James Berardinelli described Seven as an intelligent, well-made thriller capable of comfortably standing alongside other thrillers. Others compared Seven unfavorably with The Silence of the Lambs and The Usual Suspects, saying Seven lacks the other films' intelligent narrative, and takes itself too seriously as an examination of evil instead of a "silly piece of pulp". The Orlando Sentinel said, however, Seven offers a "terrific film-noir atmosphere" and excellent performances, with The Seattle Times saying the film would be "unendurable" without Freeman and Spacey. James Berardinelli and Janet…

A Rottweiler called Se7en (“after the film”) is immediately befriended and turns out to be a big softie who likes wrestling in the grass. A Dachshund called Eric is given a very wide berth because, he is, of course, an absolute fucker.

If you remember a fucking awesome title sequence between 1990-2010 he probably did it. Se7en? Yup. Twister? Yes. Dead Presidents? You bet. Games too. MGS2? Oh yeah.
neutral · AI labelView post →I think I am not a fan of 4K. The film remasters all look great, I think, but all have the whiff of 'needing to do something new to have something to sell', rather than 'making the movie better'. Se7en looks exquisite, but I do prefer the grimier, darker, earlier version.

positive · AI labelView post →If you haven't seen 8mm, make this a double recommendation, because that was basically Joel Schumacher's take on Se7en where Nic Cage is hired by the widow of a dead rich guy to investigate whether the snuff movie she found in her late husband's possession is real or a fake.
neutral · AI labelView post →You really should. Fabulous craftsmanship in every single shot. Mulcahy also directed a SE7EN rip-off called RESURRECTION (starring Lambert) that is hilarious (and again, visually delightful), like a MAD magazine film parody come to vivid life. Actually, every movie I've seen of his is awesome.

positive · AI labelView post →Also Hannibal Lecter being incarcerated in Silence of the Lambs, giving us a few decades of villains where their master plan involves them getting captured & imprisoned halfway through the movie. (Se7en, The Avengers, The Dark Knight, Skyfall, etc.)
neutral · AI labelView post →Fallen is a pretty great and stylish supernatural thriller with an amazing cast. If you like the tone of Se7en or Angel Heart, you'll love this film. For whatever reason it's not really remembered as much as other great neo-noir movies from the 80s and 90s.

neutral · AI labelView post →What is the cruelest "twist the knife" move or statement by a villain in a film for you?. I'm talking about a moment when a villain has the hero at their mercy and then does a move to really show what an utter bastard they are. There's no shortage of them, but one that really sticks out to me is one line from "Se7en" at the climax from Kevin Spacey as John Doe. "Oh...he didn't know." Anyone who's seen "Se7en" will know exactly what I mean. As brutal as that film's outcome is, that just makes…

neutral · AI labelView post →I also rewatched THE GAME, a film that feels like David Fincher trying to stretch his wings a little bit after making SE7EN. A wonderfully paranoid film, putting Michael Douglas in his archetypal role as Put-Upon Corporate Guy, and one of the most "it's just a movie" movies I've ever seen

neutral · AI labelView post →late last year, i wrote about Se7en for @lukeoneil47.bsky.social's newsletter, making the case for it as a great movie for the moment set in a hopeless world—young people ask themselves, "Is it even moral to bring children into this world?"—Se7en proposes that trying is what matters

neutral · AI labelView post →In movies were color grading really works like Oh Brother Where Art Thou and Se7en there is harmony between the effect and the tone of the film itself. Fincher's city in Se7en is filthy, dark and gritty, the green grade compliments this and helps the overall mood. We can believe the color is natural

positive · AI labelView post →Honestly Se7en is kinda the perfect pre Halloween movie. Glad to be seeing this David Fincher classic in a proper theater
positive · AI labelView post →Happy 30th to “Seven,” aka “Se7en,” aka “Sesevenen,” a movie with one of the best jumps in cinema history, a survivable Spacey casting as he’s playing the worst guy possible, and an outrageous climax that only happened because Fincher got the “wrong” script draft that still had it.
