What to Know

Critics Consensus

A brutal, relentlessly grimy shocker with taut performances, slick gore effects, and a haunting finale.

Boston Globe

When Seven, with its velvety world of bottomless evil, taps you on the shoulder, your instinct will be to dive under the theater seat.

Michael H. Price

Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com

I wouldn't go so far as to call David Fincher's Seven the most terrifying film ever, but it's right up there on the top shelf with Psycho and The Silence of the Lambs.

Rated: 4.5/5

Gene Siskel

Chicago Tribune

The results of the killings are needlessly grotesque and don't really serve the smart screenplay by Andrew Kevin Walker and the artful direction of David Fincher. All of this talent is worth seeing if you can look past the gruesome details.

Rated: 3/4

Joe Lipsett

Horror Queers Podcast

A stone cold classic, especially from a technical point of view. It's incredibly moody, cements a number of tropes for serial killer/crime texts, and (despite the presence of Spacey), John Doe and that finale are iconic.

Rated: 4.5/5

Fresno Bee

Seven doesn't take you to hell and back; it takes you to hell and keeps you there, looking around and wondering how it had come to this.

Rated: A-

Quentin Curtis

Independent on Sunday

There is no denying that Seven is a deeply unpleasant movie. But I believe it is a fine one, too. It doesn't glory in its depravity, but keeps a distance from it.
