Se7en: Platinum Series (1995) In Se7en, Fincher was able to combine his fantastic sense for visual imagery with a much more clearly-defined and fleshed-out story and the result is a nearly-perfect film. In the past I’ve commented that I think Se7en was the best film made in the Nineties. Se7en used an extremely limited palette; for all intents and purposes, it was a black and white movie because the colors were so muted and they were used so infrequently. www.dvdmg.com /seven.shtml   (4850 words)

DVD Review - Se7en: Platinum Edition I always though, "Se7en" looked fantastic the way it was, but with this new transfer, it is now becoming obvious that the film has never been able to unfold its full potential before. Harsh and real, "Se7en" is a homicide thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat for its entire running length, and it will not fail to impress its disturbing mood upon you, sending shivers and chills down your spine. In the case of "Se7en" the choice of supplements is highly technical in nature, giving the release a sophistication that is not found on very many DVD releases. www.dvdreview.com /fullreviews/se7en__platinum_edition.shtml   (2084 words)

Se7en : Read reviews and compare prices at Ciao.co.uk Se7en, is a film that scares the pants off its audience, and leaves a lasting impression. I’m surprised I seem to be the first person to review the film Se7en (Seven) here on Ciao, and also that it’s classed as a ‘horror’. On the surface Se7en may just seem to many like your usual serial killer movie with all your usual components such as the veteran cop partnered with the young en... dvd.ciao.co.uk /Se7en__5330191   (372 words)

Amazon.co.uk: DVD: Seven [1996] Se7en is a dark, gripping film featuring some very imaginative, very morbid crime-scenes and some brilliant performances all round. It lacks the spectacularly gruesome nature of the earlier parts of the film, and while this adds a sense of 'cleverness' to the whole movie, I feel it could have been done in a better way. Aside from that, however, Se7en is a brilliantly, grizzly movie. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004RCK3   (1248 words)

Se7en - Movie Review (Seven) Summary: 'Se7en' might be a really stupid way to write the title, but when a film's this good nobody seems to care. The only part of 'Se7en' I continue to find irksome, after repeated viewings over the years, is its ending. It's oft regarded one of the most memorable climaxes in cinema and, though that is probably true, it just doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the film. www.movie-gazette.com /cinereviews/719   (686 words)

Se7en (1995) Trivia: The "Platinum Series" DVD of Se7en by New Line is mastered from a new HDTV transfer which was made directly from the camera negative. This required that the whole film had to be re-graded digitally, applying color and contrast correction to every shot under the director's supervision.

The Edge Film, DVD, video: Se7en And like that film, knowing the end doesn't preclude another look - Se7en has clever spoken/visual ciphers that don't insult its audience. It would be overstating the case to say Se7en breathes new life into the serial killer genre when what it actually does is nail the coffin lid shut. Se7en serves up an extraordinary vision of Hell on Earth. www.theedge.abelgratis.co.uk /filmssz/seven.htm   (602 words)

How to Make SE7EN Probably the best use of it was in the title sequences for the film SE7EN. The use of damaged and otherwise messed up type is a common fashion font statement at the moment. The effect is commonly a mix of a simple type face, blurred, distorted and mangled. www.c2000.com /psp/seven7.htm   (711 words)

Se7en That's not a typo — that's how the title appears on-screen, flickering white on black during the opening sequence as though scratched directly on the film, while a remix of "Closer to God" throbs on the soundtrack. As pessimistic as SE7EN ultimately becomes, it's refreshing in its belief in something larger than the typical bogus moral dilemma. There's a palpable sense as the story winds down that something very real is at stake — you feel like you could cut the tension in that golden desert air with a knife — and the movie's ultimate moral structure seems to extend into the world outside like a fog. www.deep-focus.com /flicker/se7en.html   (852 words)

Amazon.com: Seven (New Line Platinum Series) (1995): DVD "Se7en" is one of the most realistic and therefore depressive films of all time, it's a serious piece of art and by calling it a "thriller" people steel much of its value. Se7en on the surface may seem similar - a film consisting of a plot about two cops "hunting" down a "mad" (another misconception) psychopathic serial killer. Sadly mistaken for simply "just-another-horror-flick," Se7en has been done a grave dishonor by the majority of the viewing public who neither have the empathy nor the intuition to understand the deep message it carries. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000050FEN?v=glance   (2709 words)

Se7en In Se7en this is done masterfully by showing Mills at home with his dogs or Somerset preparing for sleep by setting a metronome. All too rarely a film comes around that is intelligent, dark and grips you like a vise. One method he employs to keep things from getting too dark in the inclusion of little slices of life to give a momentary relief from the tension. www.hometheaterinfo.com /se7en.htm   (903 words)

'Saw' unable to live up to 'Se7en' billing - The Daily Orange - Splice Like in "Se7en," the deaths in the film are all creatively gruesome massacres that will find the squeamish squeaming and the Tool fans drooling. I bet it's awesome!" The other's huffing and pouting and saying, "Dude, that movie looks just like 'Se7en.' I bet it's just like 'Se7en.'" The group you enter the theater with will almost certainly be the same one you leave with. Unlike "Se7en," which inserted its uniquely horrific deaths into a wider thematic mythology, the deaths in "Saw" seem to play out like a 10th grade lunchroom conversation at the Goth table: www.dailyorange.com /news/2004/10/29/Splice/saw-Unable.To.Live.Up.To.se7en.Billing-786511.shtml   (562 words)

Amazon.com: Books: Se7en (BFI Modern Classics) 'Se7en' is an archetypal serial killer movie that focuses on white male alienation in contemporary urban society, but is also a denial of the genre, refusing to demonise the murderer, suggesting he is simply an over-enthusiastic law-enforcer with the same attitude to the corruption of modern urban life as the policemen. Dyer thinks 'Se7en' is a Great Movie that does what Art should, exagerrating or heightening negative feelings about the world we live in that we suppress daily to survive. He treats 'Se7en' so seriously he even includes a 'map' to the narrative like those you get with Dante's 'Divine Comedy', and compares its climactic power to 'King Lear'. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0851707238?v=glance   (1284 words)

Amazon.co.uk: DVD: Seven - 2 Disc Set [1995] David Fincher's second feature film, his first being Alien 3, Se7en is a controversial crime thriller. Se7en truly is one of the most brilliantly original thrillers in recent years. Set in America in a dark, depressing wet city which is never named, it reflects a true comparison to the films major on-going themes.The two main characters, the homicide detectives, Pitt and Freeman are forced to solve a puzzling series of disturbing murders based on the seven deadly sins hence it's name. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004WZW8   (932 words)

Seven (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The movie Seven (also written as Se7en) (1995) is about a serial killer obsessed with the seven deadly sins, who uses the sins themselves as calling cards in a series of ritualistic murders. The film concludes when, in voice-over, sirens wailing in the background, Somerset says "Ernest Hemingway once wrote: the world is a fine place, and worth fighting for. The film utilizes a visual film technique known as bleach bypass. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Seven_(film)   (1599 words)

Se7en (1995) The cinematography of the film is dark but beautiful and throughout the film it is either night or raining or both except for two very brief moments. Fincher's talents for making a visually stunning film are now well known and he often brings a dark patina to his work. Seven's quality puts it so far beyond most of the "cops on trail of deranged killer" genre that it comes out as a true jewel of cinema. www.imdb.com /title/tt0114369   (686 words)

Amelie's place - Movies - Se7en Although the film is most probably set in the present time, it could as well be in the forties considering the dark furniture and depressing atmosphere. His first movie was "Alien 3", a film he made in 1991 and which was a commercial disaster. From that point, they get along better, and when, at the end of the film Mills is in trouble Somerset promises 'to be around' although he wanted to get away from this city. www.angelfire.com /grrl/amelie/movies/seven.html   (3715 words)

Saw movie review, In Film Australia It is what Wan aptly describes as a "thriller directed like a horror movie" -- a film that marries the visual fury of a flashy video game style interface with the brains of a thoughtfully plotted serial killer movie, ala Se7en. The film is periodically gruesome, but mostly its fear lingers off-screen, lurking just outside of comprehension and threatening to strike -- visual, theatrical -- at any moment with a calculated, coolly delivered wrath. Working with a budget of just over US $1,000,000 Whannel and Wan shot their baby in 25 days, inside of a grimy warehouse frequently used for filming pornos. www.infilm.com.au /reviews/saw.htm   (719 words)

U-WIRE.com/FILM REVIEW: 'Panic Room' is hardly air-tight Parallel in the sense that David Fincher, who blew us away with "Se7en," one of the best films of the 1990s, and followed up with the white-knuckle thrills of "The Game" and the iconoclastic, gritty, exceptional "Fight Club," was finally ready to pole vault onto the A-list with this new feature. We expected more from Mann, who with two excellent films ("The Last of the Mohicans," "Heat") and one superior one ("The Insider"), was primed to take his film art to the next level of achievement and establish himself as one of Hollywood's new cinema heavyweights. The problem with "Panic Room" is that it is a glistening, well-constructed machine that has no oil with which to run itself. www.uwire.com /content/topae032802002.html   (1015 words)

The Popkorn Junkie :: Panic Room This film is by the same guy who brought us "Fight Club", "Se7en", and "The Game". The film from that point is the Chess match between Burnham (Forest Whitaker) trying to get into the room and Altman (Jodie Foster) trying to keep her daughter safe. With the film "Seven", he solidified his position as one of the greatest American directors around, and with "Fight Club" he demonstrated his immense vision and mass numbers of cinematic innovations. popkornjunkie.com /reviews/panicroom.html   (1015 words)

NOW PLAYING—Gerry Savides, a veteran of such films as Se7en and Heavenly Creatures, shoots the desert in much the same way that Norman Cohn shot the Arctic in last year’s The Fast Runner, like it is the last landscape on Earth. Therefore, the fact that the film and its only two characters are named Gerry is more than just an example of minimalism; it is a description of the characters, and the events of the film (the film, after all, is strictly about them getting lost in the desert). Beyond the description of the events contained in the film, Van Sant’s decision to call this film Gerry seems like a nod to how he expected critics and audiences to respond to his film: as if Van Sant wanted to say it before anyone else got a chance to. www.playbackstl.com /Current/NP/gerry.htm   (536 words)

Film Review: Seven Se7en is definitely the film that kick-started Fincher's career. Films out now: Munich, Hidden, Rumor Has It, Frozen, Bee Season, The New World The plot explores the extreme pitch-black side of the human psyche and was entirely the creation of one writer. www.iofilm.co.uk /fm/s/seven_1995.shtml   (510 words)

seven - film review for zone-sf.com Simply the ultimate serial killer drama, David Fincher's Seven (or 'Se7en' as the publicity wags have it), stars Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt, as now-traditional mismatched homicide detectives on the trail of a disturbingly cruel murderer (an outstanding portrayal by Kevin Spacey) who commits a string of appalling crimes modelled upon the 'seven deadly sins'. In the fourth, composer Howard Shore and the film's soundman talk about the musical score, complexities of aural montage and sound effects. Seven is a peculiarly art house Hollywood which addresses themes of inherent darkness within humanity (Lynch's perverse Blue Velvet is comparable but inferior), while attaining a level of highbrow sophistication almost unrivalled in a major studio production. www.zone-sf.com /seven.html   (551 words)

Se7en (1995) - MovieWeb Set in a perpetually gloomy unnamed city, the film follows Somerset (Morgan Freeman), a retiring police detective, as he experiences his final week on the job, reluctantly working with assertive newcomer Mills (Brad Pitt). Gluttony, greed, sloth, envy, wrath, pride, and lust--these are the seven deadly sins that are being punished with unimaginable cruelty and calculation by an enigmatic killer in David Fincher's bleak thriller SEVEN. When an obese man is found brutally murdered in his home, the seasoned Somerset realizes this is no ordinary killing--someone tortured him because of his appetite. movieweb.com /movie/seven   (216 words)

Film Review: SAW SAW is a gruesome, gory horror film, obviously inspired by Se7en (why isn't it pronounced 'sesevenen'?), but without the wit or the budget to even come close. With no believable characters to root for, the film simply becomes a test of endurance, with each horrific scene becoming more sickening than the last. Films out now:Two For The Money, The Hills Have Eyes, The World's Fastest Indian, Evil Aliens, The Child, The Proposition www.iofilm.co.uk /fm/s/saw_2004.shtml   (175 words)

Film Review: Saw - Elites TV - Your Elite News Source Saw is Se7en on acid, and what a wonderful trip it is. Music composer Charlie Clouser’s energetic arrangement at the end of the film is terrifying and blood-pumping. Director of photography David A. Armstrong warrants praise for two distinct scenes where the screen is almost completely black sans a dull blue glow on the contortions of a man’s face. www.elitestv.com /pub/2004/Nov/EEN4186679f77139.html   (319 words)

Panic Room film review With films like Se7en and Fight Club, director David Fincher clearly revels in dark, edgy material, but the use of dim, atmospheric lighting is not enough to induce shivers. With Meg and Sara firmly ensconced in the panic room, their problems would appear to be over, except of course the object of the thieves' mission is in the room's safe. A panic room is the modern equivalent of a castle's keep, a hidden room where homeowners can retreat for safety in the event of intruders. www.tiscali.co.uk /entertainment/film/reviews/panic_room/2   (319 words)
