Plot: Police drama about two cops, one new and one about to retire, after a serial killer using the seven deadly sins as his MO.
Tag Line: Long is the way, and hard, that out of hell leads up to light.
Trivia: The victim tied to the bed for a year was not an animatronic model, but a very skinny actor made up to look even more corpse-like. Rob Bottin used a set of exaggerated teeth to make the head look smaller and more shrunken from malnutrition.
While filming the scene where Mills chases John Doe in the rain, Brad Pitt fell and his arm went through a car windscreen, requiring surgery. This accident was worked into the script of the film.
Quotes:David Mills: Yeah, a landlord's dream: a paralyzed tenant with no tongue. William Somerset: Who pays the rent on time.
William Somerset: This isn't going to have a happy ending.
[William Somerset looks at an object in the road] David Mills: What do you got? William Somerset: Dead dog. John Doe: I didn't do that.
Seven paved the way for such movies as Saw and Hostel. The savagery and intensity that John Doe employed to commit his crimes were worse than any movie goers had ever seen in American film.
