Se7en

One of my favourite all time films with out a doubt. The intro to Se7en really sets the scene for whats to come, sinister, dark, gorey. The close up of the murderer slicing off the skin of his fingertips isn't for the squeamish. Thought has been put into the choice of typography as it mimic's that of a mad mans scribblings, the whole sequence is gritty and dark which is carried on throughout the rest of the movie. Many opening sequences to thrillers have clearly been inspired by this one...
