Not gory!

Rating: 10/10 (5 August 2003)

When you ask people about this movie, most of them will tell you that it is 'soooo gory'. Well, it's not! In fact most of the horror (except for the guy on the bed) is not visible on screen, it's created in your head. You never see a murder or any violence. You just see the crime scene or even only a photograph of the 'weapon' and then you reconstruct what happened in your mind. And this is what makes it so frightening because this way the horror is perfectly adapted to your very own fears. But this is just another genuine aspect of this truly outstanding thriller. Everything else also fits together just perfectly: the story, the acting (even Brad Pitt!), the design, the atmosphere and the cinematography. And the ending... well it's brilliant, surprising, hopeless and most important consistent.
Seven is simply the perfect movie - 10/10
