6 Forgotten Thrillers That Rival 'Se7en'

David Fincher’s Sevenis a 90s serial killer classic. After The Silence of the Lambs made the gruesome exploits of murderers acceptable as prestige entertainment, Fincher’s film took them to the next level with a harsh neo-noir aesthetic, an unrelentingly grim atmosphere, and a devastating downer ending. It became the feel bad blockbuster of 1995, finishing as the seventh highest grossing film of the year. It also resurrected Fincher’s career after the debacle ofAlien 3 and set his career on an upward trajectory that has continued for decades.
