The Verdict Director's Cut

Se7en builds horror from the recognition of commitment rather than the display of violence. Each crime scene tells you who the killer is without showing him, and Fincher holds the camera on the discovery long enough to make the audience sit with the implication. The Social Network builds equivalent tension from deposition scenes where the revelation is legal rather than criminal. Both use revelation as their primary dramatic tool. The lead says criminal revelation generates stronger engagement than legal revelation when both are directed with identical precision. Horror outperforms litigation.
