Horror movie that actually scares you.

Rating: Null/10 (18 March 1999)

Great movie. Yet Se7en is also one that will leave you with images in your head not soon forgotten. This brilliant, though extremely dark movie was handled masterfully by Alien 3 and 8mm director David Fincher. Excellent cinematography sets the mood in just the right way to scare the bejesus out of you. Regardless of whether you like it or not, you will not forget this movie. Powerful performances by Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt, and Gwyneth Paltrow help this movie along swiftly, and without much error. But the real winner in this movie was Kevin Spacey as John Doe. He portrays a psychopath killer, yet gives his character a certain dignity. When he tells Pitt his reasons for the graphic murders, you can understand why he did it. Not that it makes it right, though. An incredible surprise ending that will shock you and stick with you for a long time after seeing the movie, rounds out the movie. Excellent flick, though certainly not for young eyes, this is a near-perfect movie, and I give it a 9.
