Film School Rejects: 31 Days of Horror: Seven

  • Cole Abaius · 1 year ago
    This movie is probably the catalyst for my love of films (alongside the war movies and westerns I watched with my dad growing up). It's gorgeous, near-perfect, and David Fincher continues to be my favorite director. So many great shots, quotable lines, and frightening moments - I think that shot of the Sloth victim actually made the list of scariest movie moments. For good reason. I nearly wet myself when I saw it.

    Alright. I did wet myself. I admit it.

    I found this film to be more terrifying than most of the other horror flicks on the "31 Days..." list mainly because Se7en lingers in your mind long after the film actually ends. It haunts you and the dreadful events that are only hinted towards in the film (and not actually shown on screen, such as "Lust") keep rearing their ugly heads while you try to sleep.

    Beautiful, ugly film.

    As perfect as a film can be, in my opinion. Note that there hasn't been a single film about a serial killer released since that was worth a shit.

    I disagree with you Rob, I would classify it as a disturbing suspense thriller and a crime mystery. My reasoning is that if this were horror film, we would see the victims at their moments of death. Here, everything is after the fact and through the perspective of Mills and Sommerset.
