Se7en (9/10)

Rating: 9/10 (9 August 2015)

Seven, also known as Se7en, is headlined by a brilliant all-star cast, which include Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, R. Lee Emery and Gwyneth Paltrow. The cast being near perfect, would not have been together if it wasn't for the stellar script and lead director, David Lynch. David Lynch film-making was ruthless creating a dismal atmosphere, always raining, with crummy settings in dark places.
The film probably considered by most a thriller crosses the line into the horror genre with chilling scenes and grotesque images. The suspense is top-notch having a first time viewer on the edge of their seat from the start. When the film does end, the viewer is left with a shocking twist, stirring up a few emotions that aren't often felt when watching a movie. Viewers may bicker if Se7en can be labeled as a horror film or not but what they won't argue is the greatness, being the film itself.
