Se7en spoiler review

Se7en was very successful in captivating me into the film.I was immersed throughout, as the film created tension and suspense using lighting effects and special techniques with the camera. Some examples of the effects were a high amount of close ups and long shots,this helps establish the setting. Se7en was also portrayed in a very grey,dull and grainy way, which also adds to the mystery. Some objects/people may not be visible due to the video effects.

This stills highlight some of my points on how Se7en is presented.

One of the ways Se7en kept me enthused was the guessing of how the murderer was going to kill his next target, as they are all influenced by the seven deadly sins. The murderer is not exposed until the end of the movie, which leaves the audience guessing who he/she was, it adds to the mystery of the film. At the end of the film the last sin is wrath, the plan from the murderer was to get Detective David Mills to kill him. This is a very good twist to the film, which caught me and possibly the rest of the audience by surprise. The murderer is also part of the sins, he is responsible for envy. This is why he goes round the detectives house and "plays house" with the detectives wife. Having the murderer responsible for a sin also adds to the mystery, as his whole plan is to punish people who breaks the sins. When he breaks the envy sin it foils his plan; which made me think about his other motives towards killing people.
