Se7en Research


Se7en - a plot summary.

Se7en takes place in an unnamed city, following two detectives (a rookie [Mills] and an expert [Somerset]) as they frantically try to uncover a serial killer, who uses the seven deadly sins as his reason of murdering. What Mills and Somerset don't count on, is that they were part of the 'game' all along.

What makes Se7en a thiller?

Se7en definitely comes under the category of a murder mystery thriller. It takes Mills and Somerset five murders before they figure out who is carrying them out, as John Doe (the protagonist) takes extra precaution in making sure he isn't found, e.g. removing his fingerprints. When the two detectives visit Doe's apartment to confront him about the killing's, they find that he isn't home - yet. Doe spots the detectives as he is walking toward his apartment, he then runs off and Mills chases after him. This then results in scenes that are full of action, as they both begin to fire at each other.
