David Fincher Series #2: Se7en (1995)

‘Seven’ Theatrical Release Poster.

“What’s in the box!?” is the chilling question posed in the finale of David Fincher’s second feature Seven; the question is the culmination of a build-up of tensions during the course of the film, and represents the beginnings of the filmmaking style that has become synonymous with David Fincher as a director. Coming three years after the disappointing and heavily studio interfered Alien 3, Seven became Fincher’s chance to make a film free of such interference and with greater creative freedom, and it’s an opportunity he relished.
