I worked in a movie theater when this was released, and I'll never forget how quiet and upset audiences were at that ending. People left the theater like they were leaving a funeral. But just like John Doe said of his acts, this movie became studied and discussed and they couldn't deny the significance of what they saw.
Yep. Saw it opening night. The silence as credits rolled was deafening. No one even moved for several minutes. It was like if we spoke or stood up, something terrible would happen.
@@otterpoetI experienced something similar, it wasn't on opening Night but the 2nd Weekend, but besides that me and Friends was through the exact same thing.
I definitely disagree. It's a grand ending, very dark. When so many movies were predictable, Fincher (and AKW) gave us "Se7en". And remeber, next year this movie turns 30. Different times. Saw it in the theater myself. Personally I just wanted to leave and then go back in for a second viewing. But the silence was indeed deafening. Movie art. But that's just my two cents. @@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017You actually have a thought out opinion rather than jumping on some bandwagon with no thought of your own. Respect. I personally love the film, but I also like hearing from those that don’t like what I do to see what didn’t work for them.

I remember stepping out of the cinema, after seeing this movie, into a cold and dark rainy night in Edinburgh and actually feeling anxious, like I’d stepped out into the world of Se7en
One of the craziest psychological horror thriller movies ever made! The scene where they find the victim, Sloth, tied to the bed after a year, and everyone thought he was dead, was on Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments.
Actually scared some of the actors. The guy was so thin and his skin was so waxen, that most thought it was a dummy. He held so very still. So when he suddenly gasped for air, it took a few by surprise.
If you watch the beginning intro again, with the Trent Reznor music, you can see scenes of John Doe doing his stuff. He is cutting the skin from his fingertips with that razor blade. He is writing in those journals they found. He is preparing the glue solution that will be used in the "Pride" victim. He is sewing up and doing finishing touches on the leather apparatus used in the "Lust" victim. He is taking pictures, presumably of the "Sloth" victim, Viktor. He is reading about how to 'torture' his "Gluttony" victim, and has just started in on his "Greed" victim. It isn't until after the movie, that you realize that the intro was John Doe doing all these things.
This was my first date movie with my now wife. We saw it in the theater and when we discussed it, we discovered we both liked it so much, we saw it again the next night. This is how we knew we were made for each other. 🤣
David Fincher is known for dark cinematography. I highly suggest his film "The Game" (1997) with Michael Douglas and Sean Penn. It's not horror, but you will be clinching the edge of your seat.
His film debut, Alien 3, is underrated. He did what he could to salvage that movie. But yeah David Fincher can do dark and gritty very well. Zodiac (2007) is another great film he directed. Kat outta check that one out, too.
I took a date to see Se7en when it was in theaters. We went to dinner afterward, and my date's hands were shaking so bad that the food kept falling off her fork. There was no second date. David Fincher is a brilliant filmmaker, but I've been kinda mad at him ever since.
you could have mimicked the line... "What's in the box...!?!" in anguish and maybe... maybe in misery you both could have bonded... (I'm kidding of course... maybe... depending on if you're horrified or amused...) (epic story though)
Love the witty, inciteful reactions and comments. You have me laughing out loud so many times. I imagine you'd be first on the guest list for your friend's parties. Your timing is so professional, like a musician playing the gaps between the vocals. Very entertaining, in my humble opinion. You're nailing It! 😊
What gets me, is think back to the car ride out with John Doe. Its so much more disturbing when you think back to him telling Mills to remember every time he looks in the mirror that the only reason he's alive was because John Doe allowed it and wanted it. Its so dark and messed up, and you gotta believe it would stay with Mills for the rest of his life. That Doe could've just killed him in that alley. But instead he kept him alive, murdered his wife, and drove him to kill Doe, all because Doe wanted it and allowed it. That is some top tier mind-f***ing.
7:03 Nobody ever picks up on the way Somerset lists through the Seven Deadly Sins, pauses for a brief nano-second, and then turns to Mills when he says "Envy".
Good spotting. But if it WAS intentional, maybe it was William unconsciously turning to David because William envies David's innocence and ignorance of the darkness he himself is the victim of. Maybe, just a thought.
I only discovered this channel this week. Blasting through the older content but had to watch this one. You should watch 1408 next. Another Steven king I think.
I sat in the theatre for the entire ending credits, trying to process what I had just seen. I decided 'Heart's Filthy Lesson' is a great song. I love me some David Bowie.
Saw Bowie with NIN shortly after the movie came out. One of the best concerts ever, their duet on "Hurt" was so memorable. I had a pirated CD of that show with great sound. Still pissed I lost it.
Monitoring library records was illegal before the PATRIOT Act was passed after 9/11. The legislation included Section 215. It gave the FBI the ability to, as the American Library Association stated in protest of the measure, “secretly request and obtain library records for large numbers of individuals without any reason to believe they are involved in illegal activity." It was renewed multiple times, and finally expired in 2020 because of delays in budget negotiations.
Yeah, it's easy to forget that back in the mid 90's, the idea that the government would be routinely monitoring us was considered 'conspiracy theorist' territory.
I still remember seeing this in the theater and at the end everyone…EVERYONE just silently walked out of the movie and to their cars just in confusion and terrorof the ending . Unbelievable movie
Always love the fact that the actors genuinely freaked out when SLOTH revealed himself to be alive. _None of them_ realized that the 'body' was an actual person. The director had him come on set in secret, and then lie there, pretending to be dead, for like 45 minutes or more. Poor SWAT guy nearly had a heart attack XD
90´s had the icons of horror/thriller/cop movies, few examples like Morgan had Kiss the girls (with Ashley Judd) Denzel with Fallen (Donald Sutherland) and Bone Collector (Angelina Jolie) Keanu with The Devil's Advocate (All Pacino) It was a nice touch that Kevin's name wasnt on the open credits, to not put the audience in some suspecious idea that he was the killer.
"The world is a fine place, and worth fighting for. I agree with the second part." One of the best lines in movie history and I agree with it more every day the world gets worse and worse. @Kat your anger and heartbreak was EXACTLY what we all felt when we first saw it
I remember one time. My 90+ year old gran called me up to help her record a detective story. "Sure nan," I said, "what is it about?" "Oh it's a film called Seven!" "Oh Nan, I'm not sure you'll like that, it's a bit gruesome." "Is it?" She exclaimed "oh I don't like gruesome murders - I like nice murders." Instantly I conjured up every Miss Marple, Poirot and Murder She Wrote episode we'd ever watched together - and I knew *exactly* what she meant. She died 6 years later, but I shall always remember her voice over the telephone: "I like nice murders!" It's a very good job no-one was listening to her confess. Anyway, Seven top movie but it's not in any way "nice".
20:15 I always loved him telling the homeless woman to eat. Like, "I know you're probably gonna use some of this money for drugs or alcohol, but please, at least feed yourself." No extorting or judgment, just a transaction and concern.
I remember seeing this in the theaters and after it was over we just sat in the parking lot discussing it forever. We wound up driving to Denny's to warm up, get food and keep on talking. I think it was just that none of us wanted to be alone because it creeped us out so much.
When I saw this in the theater, I jumped about 5 feet in the air when the Sloth guy coughed when they found him. Brilliant screenplay and great performances, and you were entertaining and made a great reaction vid, as usual.
I saw this as a rental and that scene damn near gave me a heart attack, a very worthy jump scare. It's right up there with the "testing" scene in The Thing.
An absolute mind blowingly well made movie. Keeps you engaged and on edge without blatent blood spilling for shock value. One of the best thrillers ever.
Love your reactions, and thanks to you, i say "that's the real horror of this..................", in every day situations! Lots of love from the UK. ❤️🇬🇧
I like your whole reaction channel...it's one of the best ones so I must recommend to you...and just trust me on this...one day watch Oldboy (2003), NOT the American remake but the original Korean. And of course best to go in blind....I GUARANTEE it will be one of your most epic reactions...just based on how you respond to certain films. Anyway...take care and keep that one in mind. :)
"Se7en" was somewhat controversial at the time for its extensive use of handheld "shakycam" footage. Fincher, who had come out of the world of music videos was more open to using shaky camera footage in a world where movies were traditionally all about NOT shaking the camera, and instead opted for as steady footage as possible, unless some sort of special circumstance dictated shaking in a particular scene. In fact, a device was invented in the mid-1970s called the Steadicam, which used a man-worn harness and spring loaded arm that isolated the camera from the operator's movements and gave just about as steady footage as traditional crane and dolly shots using the freedom of a photographer's own two feet. So to go to pure hand-held during heavy movement scenes was quite the shift in philosophy. Of course, people today don't react to this, as shaky camera footage is a staple in modern action movies of any/all sorts. :P I remember being quite jarred by all the shaking during the John Doe chase sequence, back when I saw this movie in a theatre when it was new. End of oldtimey trivia... :)
I've commented on several of your videos by now. I don't know which one you're actually going to see, so again; I just want to complement you on how awesome it is to watch your reactions from like 1 year back until most recently. You are so much more in control of your fear and jump scares. It is absolutely admirable. I've personally watched Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, and actually much more in the first even the first 10 years of my life and I am completely desensitized, so I absolutely appreciate an honest view.
Seven had one of the biggest jump scares I have ever experienced in a theater. The guy on the bed still being alive. I felt this sensation in my knees that made me want to run out of the theater. I had to force myself not to. As always, recommending “Malignant”.
KAT I WILL WATCH ANYTHING YOU REACT TO! I stumbled upon one of your videos last week and have BINGE WATCHED almost all of your reactions. My goodness as much as it’s funny that you’re scared of horror films, I loved seeing you express your anger in this reaction! Please feel free to react to other genres of film/tv shows because you have brilliant deductions, you’re super down to earth, & hilarious! 🤍
I follow at lot of reaction channels but this is one of my favourite on TH-cam. Along with Caped Informer. Not too much talking. Just light-hearted fun! ♥️
@KatWatchesHorrorMovies This was such a beautiful reaction., possibly the best I've seen in months. Your keeping up with the plot, talking at the right time when giving hilarious commentary and real raw reactions that show how immersed you are, all while looking gorgeous the whole time. Please consider doing a reaction to The Butterfly Effect, is a dark mystery much like this and always makes for a great reaction and i feel it would be perfect for you. If ofcourse you haven't seen it already. If so, Creep is also quite a great movie i always recommend.
Hey Kat! I love your videos, you're hilarious! I hope you'll be flattered to know that my two favorite things to say now are "Dont like that!" and "Nah ... nah ... nah"
Se7en is one of my absolute favorite movies of the 90s because it had an uncompromising vision and style and it wasn't afraid to let the bad guy win. This was my very first Kat reaction video btw and now Im subbed UP😊. I gotta say, your facial expressions coupled with your random arm flailings are just... priceless. I can't wait to delve into your back catalogue. This is gonna be a lotta fun!
The most twisted thing for me is that John Doe doesn't actually kill anyone. He drives each one to kill themselves or die as a result of their particular sin. Mills is pushed to become Wrath, the 7th "deadly" sin but doesn't die before the movie ends. However, John Doe had the assurance that Mills will eventually die one way or another as a murderer driven by vengeance. Mission accomplished.
Ohhh. You should check out The Devil's Advocate. Keanu Reeves movie that blends more legal drama tropes with biblical ones. Looots of naughty good fun.
SE7EN.. How very true K@t, what a masterpiece in filming and incredible performences by Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Spacey and the rest of the cast .. Your reaction to this moviewas like a detective going thru the evidence before the murder happened or even occured.. Outstanding!! .. when John Doe told the Brad Pitt character "Become Wrath" I knew it was for the Kevin Spacey character and the final piece of the puzzle was applied .. what a fantastic choice K@t.. this was great fun and very interesting as well as impressive .. till next time⏭.. a friend💛.. M@x.😎
Hi Kat!!! I just wanted to pop in and say that I have watched every single one of your videos and it’s the highlight of my week. I have a couple suggestions for you. The first one is called, “You’re Next” (2011). The next one is called, “Ready or Not” (2019), and finally, “The Hunt” (2020). keep up the great work and hopefully I’ll be able to catch your reaction to one of these movies. Have a wonderful rest of your week!
Glad you finally got to watch this, and glad you liked it! Great film. Fincher is a hell of a director. 'Zodiac' is another terrific and horrifying thriller. If you ever do series - 'Mindhunter' is a series by Fincher that's amazing.
Hi Kat, love your videos. I´m from Argentina, yes at the other side of the continent. Recently a movie from here went somewat famous and you may want to watch it. It´s name is When the evil lurks it about something evil that lurks and It´s really good, and it might be the beginning of a new series of reactions.... horror around the world
One of best dialogue pieces was in the police car with John Doe. Kevin Spacey may be a creep in real life, but man can he play the bad guy with an expertise I've never seen before. So well cast, acted and David Fincher's brilliant directing. I usually say "fun reaction" like I usually do, but that ending as brilliant as it was, was not fun. One of the best detective/crime drama's ever made.
You do realize that Kevin Spacey was found not guilty on all nine charges brought against him? I'm not surprised that it wasn't more of a headline since the media likes to report more on dirt than the truth.
I like that you're starting to move from horror to thrillers. Silence of the Lambs and now Seven! Both amazing movies. The ending in this one caught me way off guard my first time watching.
The 90's was such a great decade for movies, arguably the last great decade. As well as this masterpiece there was the likes of Silence Of The Lambs, Terminator 2, Heat, Jurassic Park, L.A Confidential, True Romance, Thelma & Louise, The Matrix, Pulp Fiction, Saving Private Ryan, Fight Club, Schindler's List, Fargo to name just a few. The role of John Doe was uncredited when Seven first came out at the insistence of Kevin Spacey himself, he was a well respected up and coming actor back then and he wanted his appearance to be a surprise for the audience.
Great reaction! This was the first Kevin Spacey movie I ever saw, and I cannot see Kevin Spacey in any movie without seeing his character in Seven, haha.
My friend was really shook after we saw this on its original release date, and we had go to Dennys afterwards to talk. I was fascinated and couldn't stop writing about it. After many years, I've come to the conclusion that the movie's core message is about the transfer of love through the ultimate sacrifice. William and John Doe are both exceptionally smart and therefore aware of all the pain in the world; but best they can do is keep their distance and scorn it. David and Tracey come the closest to a love that can remain hopeful enough to bring life into the world. John Doe is essentially saying: if your love is legitimate, heal all of us who suffer in our sins. True love would be willing and able to accept crippling loss and still transfer it to worst of the worst. Since David is unable to act beyond his own ego's conception of love, the reality of a transcending healing love is made ever more clearer, yet even more elusive.
Hey Kat! Seven is an absolutely fantastic movie. It's so well written and the choice of actors is perfect. I love how, throughout the movie, you get to know each of them well enough to understand how and why they think the way they do. To have an ending where the bad guy actually wins was also a great choice. A great reaction as always. Have a fantastic day, take care hun. ❤
The funny thing is, he spent years setting up this project, but then just pivoted at the very end and made it all about a guy who’d just moved to the city!
@crumblebee6728 He says in tge phone call that Mills forced him to "move up [his] timeline" and change things. I think part of that is revenge for the stairwell encounter.
Best "Seven" reaction on TH-cam. It is, as you rightly say, a masterpiece - and I think it's still David Fincher's best film. You have fine taste. Other Fincher films worth a reaction: "Gone Girl", "Zodiac", and "The Game" - they're not *really* remotely "horror", but worth a look.
Last time I said I thought I couldn't love you more, then you said you played Hades. ❤❤❤ This time, I thought I couldn't love you more, then you said "mmmm breakfast sammies, my favorite" Breakfast sandwiches are the best. I will die on that hill.

Fincher and healthy relationships often do not mix.

'Patriot' Act. Using sweet words with a traumatized nation to take their freedoms.
Great reaction 👏 You should also watch Copycat which came out the same year as Se7en. Same genre and also great movie.
"Oh...He didn't know" with that smirk on his face, I get chills everytime! Such a great movie
I still remember seeing this in the theater and at the end everyone…EVERYONE just silently walked out of the movie and to their cars just in confusion and terrorof the ending . Unbelievable movie
The way the killer yells “Detective!” when he walks into the station is maybe the most chilling line in the whole movie.

Omg I need Kat to react to Kiss The Girls right now!
"Fallen" is awesome. Highly recommended for Kat.
All excellent movies. But I have to say Fallen is one of my all time favorites. The storyline is simply fantastic.
All great films...
Unpopular opinion, but I personally would add 8MM to the list... It's not perfect, but still a great nail biting, tense thriller
For the same reason, he also didn't appear in any pre-release publicity for the film.
One of the best endings in cinema! It blew my mind the first time I saw this!
The fact we only see the aftermath and some witnesses accounts of the crime makes it more disturbing then actually seeing the deaths happen
Had a ball watching along with you, thanx for the smiles.
This thriller film is a classic. Great reaction! 👍🏿

"Is it?" She exclaimed "oh I don't like gruesome murders - I like nice murders."
Instantly I conjured up every Miss Marple, Poirot and Murder She Wrote episode we'd ever watched together - and I knew *exactly* what she meant.
She died 6 years later, but I shall always remember her voice over the telephone: "I like nice murders!"
It's a very good job no-one was listening to her confess.
Anyway, Seven top movie but it's not in any way "nice".
You ok there, kid?
Yes, that flick's in a class by itself.
Thanks for the unparalleled work you do.
♡🖖
20:15 I always loved him telling the homeless woman to eat. Like, "I know you're probably gonna use some of this money for drugs or alcohol, but please, at least feed yourself." No extorting or judgment, just a transaction and concern.
I remember seeing this in the theaters and after it was over we just sat in the parking lot discussing it forever. We wound up driving to Denny's to warm up, get food and keep on talking. I think it was just that none of us wanted to be alone because it creeped us out so much.
When I saw this in the theater, I jumped about 5 feet in the air when the Sloth guy coughed when they found him. Brilliant screenplay and great performances, and you were entertaining and made a great reaction vid, as usual.
Me too. I saw this in theaters a couple of times.
oh yeah, I forgot how freaky that moment was!
I saw this as a rental and that scene damn near gave me a heart attack, a very worthy jump scare. It's right up there with the "testing" scene in The Thing.
An absolute mind blowingly well made movie. Keeps you engaged and on edge without blatent blood spilling for shock value. One of the best thrillers ever.
36:03 "-Ernest Hemingway once wrote: 'The world is a fine place and worth fighting for.' -I agree with the second part."
I was totally stoked on seeing your reaction to this Kat!!!
Love your reactions, and thanks to you, i say "that's the real horror of this..................", in every day situations! Lots of love from the UK. ❤️🇬🇧
Your facial expressions are amazing, I barely even remember to pay attention to the movie!
The opening credits are perhaps the best ever put to film.
THIS is a PHENOMINAL movie..... for MULTIPLE reasons...... ty for watching it...
Love your movie choices and can never wait for more! Another wonderful reaction. Thank you!
I love your wild facial expressions 😂❤
I like your whole reaction channel...it's one of the best ones so I must recommend to you...and just trust me on this...one day watch Oldboy (2003), NOT the American remake but the original Korean. And of course best to go in blind....I GUARANTEE it will be one of your most epic reactions...just based on how you respond to certain films. Anyway...take care and keep that one in mind. :)
"Se7en" was somewhat controversial at the time for its extensive use of handheld "shakycam" footage. Fincher, who had come out of the world of music videos was more open to using shaky camera footage in a world where movies were traditionally all about NOT shaking the camera, and instead opted for as steady footage as possible, unless some sort of special circumstance dictated shaking in a particular scene.
In fact, a device was invented in the mid-1970s called the Steadicam, which used a man-worn harness and spring loaded arm that isolated the camera from the operator's movements and gave just about as steady footage as traditional crane and dolly shots using the freedom of a photographer's own two feet. So to go to pure hand-held during heavy movement scenes was quite the shift in philosophy.
Of course, people today don't react to this, as shaky camera footage is a staple in modern action movies of any/all sorts. :P I remember being quite jarred by all the shaking during the John Doe chase sequence, back when I saw this movie in a theatre when it was new.
End of oldtimey trivia... :)
Thanks, Lenny!
"seven what?"
TRAUMAS
💯 😂
I've commented on several of your videos by now. I don't know which one you're actually going to see, so again; I just want to complement you on how awesome it is to watch your reactions from like 1 year back until most recently. You are so much more in control of your fear and jump scares. It is absolutely admirable. I've personally watched Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, and actually much more in the first even the first 10 years of my life and I am completely desensitized, so I absolutely appreciate an honest view.
Seven had one of the biggest jump scares I have ever experienced in a theater. The guy on the bed still being alive. I felt this sensation in my knees that made me want to run out of the theater. I had to force myself not to. As always, recommending “Malignant”.
KAT I WILL WATCH ANYTHING YOU REACT TO! I stumbled upon one of your videos last week and have BINGE WATCHED almost all of your reactions. My goodness as much as it’s funny that you’re scared of horror films, I loved seeing you express your anger in this reaction! Please feel free to react to other genres of film/tv shows because you have brilliant deductions, you’re super down to earth, & hilarious! 🤍
I follow at lot of reaction channels but this is one of my favourite on TH-cam. Along with Caped Informer. Not too much talking. Just light-hearted fun! ♥️
Definitely one of the greatest another that’s similar in tone but not as grotesque yet just as brilliant is “Fallen” with Denzel
I've never received a strange package and not cried out, "What's in the box???"
You don't want to know. It's a secret!
FACTS haha
Me too I think it's against the Law not too 😆
Even when I know what's in the box I still say it
There's always that question in the back of your mind: is the delivery driver giving me head 👍
This movie stuck with me for weeks after I saw it and I know I'am not the only person who felt that way
@KatWatchesHorrorMovies This was such a beautiful reaction., possibly the best I've seen in months. Your keeping up with the plot, talking at the right time when giving hilarious commentary and real raw reactions that show how immersed you are, all while looking gorgeous the whole time.
Please consider doing a reaction to The Butterfly Effect, is a dark mystery much like this and always makes for a great reaction and i feel it would be perfect for you. If ofcourse you haven't seen it already. If so, Creep is also quite a great movie i always recommend.
Kat's face when it ended is just like my face when I saw it for the first time. Yup, a masterpiece.
Hey Kat! I love your videos, you're hilarious! I hope you'll be flattered to know that my two favorite things to say now are "Dont like that!" and "Nah ... nah ... nah"
Se7en is one of my absolute favorite movies of the 90s because it had an uncompromising vision and style and it wasn't afraid to let the bad guy win. This was my very first Kat reaction video btw and now Im subbed UP😊. I gotta say, your facial expressions coupled with your random arm flailings are just... priceless. I can't wait to delve into your back catalogue. This is gonna be a lotta fun!
I love watching you watch movies
The most twisted thing for me is that John Doe doesn't actually kill anyone. He drives each one to kill themselves or die as a result of their particular sin. Mills is pushed to become Wrath, the 7th "deadly" sin but doesn't die before the movie ends. However, John Doe had the assurance that Mills will eventually die one way or another as a murderer driven by vengeance. Mission accomplished.
Ohhh.
You should check out The Devil's Advocate. Keanu Reeves movie that blends more legal drama tropes with biblical ones. Looots of naughty good fun.
Yes! Another fantastic piece of cinema!
SE7EN.. How very true K@t, what a masterpiece in filming and incredible performences by Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Spacey and the rest of the cast .. Your reaction to this moviewas like a detective going thru the evidence before the murder happened or even occured.. Outstanding!! .. when John Doe told the Brad Pitt character "Become Wrath" I knew it was for the Kevin Spacey character and the final piece of the puzzle was applied .. what a fantastic choice K@t.. this was great fun and very interesting as well as impressive .. till next time⏭.. a friend💛.. M@x.😎
.. IU .. M@x.😎
When you rush home from work early because Kat is reacting to "Seven"?😮 awww...man this going to be good.🍿👀👏🏾
Hi Kat!!! I just wanted to pop in and say that I have watched every single one of your videos and it’s the highlight of my week. I have a couple suggestions for you. The first one is called, “You’re Next” (2011). The next one is called, “Ready or Not” (2019), and finally, “The Hunt” (2020). keep up the great work and hopefully I’ll be able to catch your reaction to one of these movies. Have a wonderful rest of your week!
Glad you finally got to watch this, and glad you liked it! Great film. Fincher is a hell of a director. 'Zodiac' is another terrific and horrifying thriller. If you ever do series - 'Mindhunter' is a series by Fincher that's amazing.
I love the way you react to movies. You really get into it with your whole body and soul. Very interesting girl.
One of my personal favorites! Cant wait for de twist! Something is amiss...
Hi Kat, love your videos. I´m from Argentina, yes at the other side of the continent. Recently a movie from here went somewat famous and you may want to watch it. It´s name is When the evil lurks it about something evil that lurks and It´s really good, and it might be the beginning of a new series of reactions.... horror around the world
One of best dialogue pieces was in the police car with John Doe.
Kevin Spacey may be a creep in real life, but man can he play the bad guy with an expertise I've never seen before.
So well cast, acted and David Fincher's brilliant directing.
I usually say "fun reaction" like I usually do, but that ending as brilliant as it was, was not fun.
One of the best detective/crime drama's ever made.
Kevin Spacey.That's the *real* horror of this movie.
You do realize that Kevin Spacey was found not guilty on all nine charges brought against him? I'm not surprised that it wasn't more of a headline since the media likes to report more on dirt than the truth.
Exactly, they hire a REAL creep to play a creep.
I like that you're starting to move from horror to thrillers. Silence of the Lambs and now Seven! Both amazing movies. The ending in this one caught me way off guard my first time watching.
I already know this is going to be legit.
The 90's was such a great decade for movies, arguably the last great decade. As well as this masterpiece there was the likes of Silence Of The Lambs, Terminator 2, Heat, Jurassic Park, L.A Confidential, True Romance, Thelma & Louise, The Matrix, Pulp Fiction, Saving Private Ryan, Fight Club, Schindler's List, Fargo to name just a few.
The role of John Doe was uncredited when Seven first came out at the insistence of Kevin Spacey himself, he was a well respected up and coming actor back then and he wanted his appearance to be a surprise for the audience.
Great reaction! This was the first Kevin Spacey movie I ever saw, and I cannot see Kevin Spacey in any movie without seeing his character in Seven, haha.
Loved it so much just seeing you so invested and emotional and then letting it all out with a simple "F*** HIM UP!!!"
WHAT'S IN THE BOX!!! Classic. Glad this one made your list to watch.
"What's your favorite meal?" really made me lol. Kat's little jokes really make her reactions so good
My friend was really shook after we saw this on its original release date, and we had go to Dennys afterwards to talk. I was fascinated and couldn't stop writing about it. After many years, I've come to the conclusion that the movie's core message is about the transfer of love through the ultimate sacrifice. William and John Doe are both exceptionally smart and therefore aware of all the pain in the world; but best they can do is keep their distance and scorn it. David and Tracey come the closest to a love that can remain hopeful enough to bring life into the world. John Doe is essentially saying: if your love is legitimate, heal all of us who suffer in our sins. True love would be willing and able to accept crippling loss and still transfer it to worst of the worst. Since David is unable to act beyond his own ego's conception of love, the reality of a transcending healing love is made ever more clearer, yet even more elusive.
Hey Kat!
Seven is an absolutely fantastic movie.
It's so well written and the choice of actors is perfect.
I love how, throughout the movie, you get to know each of them well enough to understand how and why they think the way they do.
To have an ending where the bad guy actually wins was also a great choice.
A great reaction as always.
Have a fantastic day, take care hun. ❤
I like the idea that cops shave their chests before they make a big arrest, just in case they happen to be shirtless in any ensuing photos.
"...that's the real horror of this movie...". I love those comments/jokes! Yessss! Keep them coming! I heart your rxn videos, Kat!
Envy and Wrath were the final 2 sins. A once in a lifetime movie.
The funny thing is, he spent years setting up this project, but then just pivoted at the very end and made it all about a guy who’d just moved to the city!
@crumblebee6728 He says in tge phone call that Mills forced him to "move up [his] timeline" and change things. I think part of that is revenge for the stairwell encounter.
@@Deathbird_Mitch the set back is them discovering his apartment
I want to see the Lifetime movie of Seven.
I come here for that smile, and stay for the genuine, fun and enthusiastic reviews! ❤️
Best "Seven" reaction on TH-cam. It is, as you rightly say, a masterpiece - and I think it's still David Fincher's best film. You have fine taste. Other Fincher films worth a reaction: "Gone Girl", "Zodiac", and "The Game" - they're not *really* remotely "horror", but worth a look.
Last time I said I thought I couldn't love you more, then you said you played Hades. ❤❤❤
This time, I thought I couldn't love you more, then you said "mmmm breakfast sammies, my favorite"
Breakfast sandwiches are the best. I will die on that hill.
One the most disturbing ending that I've ever seen in a movie .😮🍿📚
I absolutely love the way John Doe screams the word “Detective!!” when he comes into the station. It gets me every time
Awesome reaction of my favorite movie!!!!😊😊😊😊
Rated one of the best movies of all time. Absolutely brilliant storytelling
