I disagree with you on the first Silent Hill movie being terrible. The second one, sure I get that. One Shyamalan movie that I have oddly watched so many times is Devil. Everytime I see it randomly playing on a movie channel. I watch it.

What's your beef with Seven?

Not quite exact opposite then, since we do have some common ground after all.

Reign of Fire is a silly movie that takes itself way too seriously, but I feel like it brings its premise to life pretty efficinetly and that the two main characters work well in an over the top sort of way. The worst thing about the movie to me is the incomprehensible airborne action scenes where they try to catch dragons with a net or something.

Devil is one of the two Shyamalan movies I haven't watched, so who knows if I'd like it too. I have my doubts.

Seven is a well made movie I suppose, but it's so balls to the walls determined to be as grim as humanly possible that it shoots well past the sort of thing I like to get out of a movie. I'm generally not a horror movie fan at all, so that places Seven in highly unappealing territory for me. If it was less disgusting and just played more like a regular crime movie, I'd perhaps like it more.

lol what do you expect from a murder scene? Pre-packaged semen samples and an embalmed corpse?

I think The Village was a good film for the premise alone.

Oh come on, you know there's more to the presentation of a scene in a movie than what it plainly depicts. Seven has a deliberately over the top, unsettling, revolting style of presentation. Set composition, camera work, lighting, color filtering, sound design, musical cues and more all feed into this.

Generally speaking, how would you describe a real-life murder scene? How about a serial killer's murder scene?

I have seen quite a few movies featuring various murder scenes/serial killer murder scenes, and none of them had the same style of presentation that Seven does. Seven is over the top and clearly revels in the horror of these rather creative murders. No other similar type of movie I can remember had the same brazen approach to putting grotesqueries on diplay.

Of course homicide is ugly, but there's a difference between a movie being about something and rubbing my nose in it.
