extremely disturbing film

Rating: 9/10 (27 January 1999)

Seven is one of the most disturbing films ever to come to the screen. This is one of those movies that will get under your skin, and stay with you for a long time. I appreciate this movie not because I am preoccupied with death, or horrific murder scenes...on the contrary, death and murder scare me, and so I would hope a film that portrays these things would do so in a very frightening way. Seven does. Indeed, this is one of the scariest movies I have ever seen. I only recommend this one to people who can stomach very dark, and painfully realistic movies. If you do want to see it, be warned that it does contain some of the most disturbing murder scenes I have ever witnessed on film, and the ending will haunt you long after the film is over. However, the realness...the idea that in life there aren't always happy endings, shines through in Seven. If that is the kind of movie you like, or think you can appreciate, then by all means, see Seven.
