Se7en currently beats The Social Network 63–38
The procedural's endgame edges out the deposition drama.
The Verdict Director's Cut
This matchup has 16 votes — still early. The picture may shift as more people weigh in.
Se7en's sloth victim — the air fresheners, the discovery that the man on the bed is still alive after a year of John Doe's patience — is Fincher building horror from the recognition of commitment rather than the display of violence. What makes the scene terrifying isn't the body. It's the realization of how long the killer waited. 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.
