David Fincher ’s Se7en (1995) remains one of the most unsettling psychological thrillers ever made. The film redefined what absolute darkness could look and feel like on screen. On its surface, it follows two detectives, played by Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman , chasing down a sadistic killer.

However, if you dig deeper, you realize the film is about the gradual decay of morality and how obsession consumes people. Se7en means to disturb its audience and leave them pondering the nature of evil and how close any of us can come to it when pushed to our limits. If that sounds like your cup of tea, here are 10 other films released since Se7en that capture the same sense of dread.
