I watched Seven last night for the first time in years and while it's a great film, it made me realise something more: just how crap the whole torture porn deal is. In Seven, we have dark, nasty murders and yet relatively little violence and gore is shown. We see the aftermath of the murders and yes, there are unpleasant scares, but in the same way that The Texas Chainsaw Massacre isn't full of onscreen violence, Seven doesn't need gallons of blood to be a damn good film. That's something that a lot of film makers (and film viewers) either don't care about or have forgotten.
