#HonestTrailers
Sloth waking up is one of the most terrifying moments in cinema
Somehow I was trying to remember this scene on "The Goonies" for a moment
100%
Actually, the guy breaking down during the Lust confession is what nearly did for me. But yeah, Sloth was horrifying all round.
So glad we got the jump scare
Rumor was the "You got what you deserved" actor wasn't told there was an actor under all that, so his reaction was genuine.
“Return to a time when Kevin Spacey had to play a role to creep you out.” Damn that one cut deep for John Doe.
Epic
Now Zegler can ruin you with one tweet and turn you in to a dwarf :D
This was the movie that proved to me that Brad Pitt wasn't just another pretty face and could actually act. That final scene where he becomes "Wrath" was nothing short of excellent.
I always thought his pacing around, head movements and the delivery of the "Whats in the barx" line seemed a little , I don't know, hammy ? . Just my thought anyway.
He already proved it in Twelve Monkeys. That was his most outstanding performance imo.
watch Kalifornia.
@@missmanners62the assassination of jesse james too.
"What's in the box? WHAT'S IN THE BOX?!" This will never not be a classic quote! 👌
I do this quote regularly in front of my Gen Z students if a package arrives...I usually don't explain it. Or I just randomly say "Spoiler: Gwyneth Paltrow's head". It's an art room, I'm not the weirdest person present.
"A shark or something?" Oh wait, that's "bag".
I yell this at people far too ofteb
Oh, this movie spawned that meme.
Paltrow even wore a box on her head for halloween one year...
I can hardly express my happiness at hearing Epic Voice Guy pronounce Se7en in the way I've been pronouncing it for years. I feel validated. Thanks!
Up there with Fethreer
And now we have M-three-gan
I clicked on this video mainly to see that
Cee-seven-en, along with Six-ix Nine-ine
"You should never write words using numbers unless you're seven." - Weird Al
"Or your name is Prince."
All this time I thought he was referring to a 7 year old. Never put 2 and 2 2gether until seeing your comment
“Needs Jesus and/or Batman” 🤣 Saw this completely cold in a movie theater in ‘95. A singular experience.
Same. Was expecting high-end cop procedural. Walked out with my mind quite jarred... but impressed 😲 edit: also memorable for me cause it was the first time I was ever carded. In Australia. For any reason. I had been nightclubbing and seeing R+ rated films for years. I was 21 🙂
Even I wouldn't visit that hell hole tbh.
I was gonna say this movie felt way ahead of its time. Even the cinematography is surprisingly good for a 90s film. So much so that I sometimes wonder what seeing it in ‘95 was like
Did you also see The Usual Suspects in a movie theater?
@@planetoii no, but I did see it on tape later without knowing the twist. Still blew my mind
"Return to when Kevin Spacey had to play a role to creep you out" Those were the days.
A truly eye-opening look into actual police work. Most serial killers are caught through dumb luck or their own arrogance. Very rarely do cops/detectives actually apprehend someone through rigorous investigating. But seriously, why hasn't a 12 Days of Christmas slasher? On the first day they find one body, next day they find two and that's when they realize just how bloody this holiday season is going to be.
From your mouth to BlumHouse's ears
That sounds like a great premise!
Because it's just hard to find e11even lords a' leaping on the same night.
@@ChozCunningham or nine maids a-milking... unless it's a small town... but then that would've drawn way too much attention
Serial killings have been declining for decades.
I have watched this movie I don't even know how many times, and I somehow STILL never caught that gerbil headline on the newspaper or the fact that Pitt wore the same tie the whole time! LOL
Same! Honest Trailers are out there doing God's work for fans. No, not THAT kind of work! This killer is wildly disturbed! That is not what God's work looks like! This video is 🙂
Same!
One of the best Thrillers ever. David, Brad, And Morgan deserved oscar noms. One of the best twists ever.
Yea we don't mention Spacey cause he'll murder you 😂😂
@@ChillDude1313 Probably but he delivered a fantastic performance but didn't court because he win Supporting Actor that year for The Usual Suspects so he couldn't be nominated for both.
detective. Detective. ... DETECTIVE!
Which twist do you mean? The head in the box?
@@DoloresLehmann the twist who are actually envy and wrath victims.
28 years later, this still has one of the all time great endings to a movie.
Nah, i just watched it. It gave me chills, he cut off her head and lost the baby, like what you would expect? I probably wouldve done the same. Either way, if he didnt he wouldve gone through hell.🤷♂️
And jump scares when Sloth “wakes up.” Every. Time.
Uh no. The exact opposite is true. Its one of the worst endings of all time. It doesnt even make sense of the logic of the movie
@@subsamadhifound the Pearl fangirl
You got my like right at the "SE-seven-EN". Still, one of the most f*cking memorable movies of all time.
Seven in Sin? Seven in Seen? C7N?Sea 7 In
Those guys are so good they can legitimately deconstruct a Great Movie and be absolutely spot on and funny and show the love and the hindsight smartass wisdom like always . Kudos to the writers.
Morgue and Freeman was easily 10/10
You make a good point. This is one of the best portrayals of what being a cop is probably like. boredom with brief interruptions of WTF.
Video so good this man felt compelled to reupload this yet again
I think they changed the shot from Fight Club
@@ElCubanator And Gone Girl
I swear Morgan Freeman has been old his whole life😂
Right! He was old 50 years ago on the Electric Company.
Not really, just your whole life 🤣
The end credits of Se7en roll from top to bottom. A very rare instance in Hollywood.
and the opening credits were like nothing we'd ever seen before. Those in particular had a HUGE influence on movies and tv shows for years. They also cleverly did not include Spacey's name in opening credits. Going in to see the film with little prior knowledge... it was an impressive shock (at the time!) when the actor showed up.
@Don't be fatuous, Jeffrey It was a smart idea: if we viewers get so far into the movie without seeing Kevin Spacey, it'll be obvious that he's the killer.
@@lisamelroy2855 that was basically what Spacey said afterwards. He had shot Usual Suspects and a few other movies and knew his profile was growing enough that if they listed him at the beginning it would be pretty easy to figure out he was the killer. "I'm the third-billed actor in a movie where the top two billings are trying to find somebody and they don't find that somebody until the last reel, then it's obvious who that somebody is."
This movie is amazing! One thing that didn't make sense though was how it constantly rained in the city but then a 30 minute drive away and they're in the desert. It's kinda trippy the movie never mentioned any state or city location.
I think the point was that the city was supposed to feel like an isolated bubble that just completely sucks. That's why when they got out of the city it's different. It's pretty crazy though
that's because they were in Springfield.
I wonder if Fincher was inspired by Blade Runner? I know that's the future and implied to be pollution, but the contrast was really neat, and I think the atmosphere is what mattered there and here... .... although the director's cut of BR had come out by the time this film was made, I think? No Kubrick-supplied mountain B-roll there. But still, growing up watching the original release - that could still have had an impact.
The city is Gotham. I never thought about it but it occurred to me when he started describing it in the beginning of the video. You really can put Batman in there and it would totally work.
@@thenecrosanct4906 🤔... 🤯
There was almost an “8ight” movie where Morgan Freeman would reprise his role and be revealed to have some sort of telepathic powers. For real.
So glad that never happened. They did recycle it for a serial killer movie with Sir Anthony Hopkins, though.
After having heard the ideas that were floated for a 'Gladiator' sequel, I am more than willing to believe this is for real.
@@Itcouldbebunnies Yep, sometimes the real life Pitch Meetings weed out some of the garbage we'd otherwise have inflicted on us
Plot twist; he uses his telepathic powers to possess gerbils
@@Itcouldbebunniesit gets talked about in the director commentary for Se7en
Nicely done, and your respect for this classic film is evident in every frame. There are seven dwarfs. In the box.
Re-release this about 5ive more times please
When my girlfriend and I walked out of the theater after seeing this, she looked at me, and said "I'll never forgive you for this." I could only smile.
I said something like that to my brother when he made me watch it so he could WATCH my face during the box reveal.
Finally someone else notices that Doe’s plan for Envy really didn’t make a lot of sense and relied on the fortuitous last minute coincidence that the cop investigating his murders had a hot wife
Doe likely had a plan for someone else for the final 2 sins but when he investigated those who were investigating him, it was too good an opportunity to pass up, or he figured there were good odds one of them would have a partner
John clearly was picking random people who he thought fit the crimes apart from like Sloth. So him just randomly choosing David or whatever isn't all that surprising at all
@@errwhattheflip on the one hand - meticulous years of planning. On the other - nevermind, envy will turn up at the last minute 🤷🏽♂️
@@markp2122 Eh, to be fair, a lot of them were last minute. The lust one was just some random stripper. Even Gluttony doesn't seem to be some pre-planned thing.
Envy Adams showed up? Like in Scott Pilgrim vs The World? How'd I miss that?! :D
Love it when you cover the classics!
This just made my day! I really loved the part where you compared Mills and Somerset to Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot and Benoit Blanc. I laughed so hard when Benoit Blanc was describing the Gluttony scene and ended with "Oh my word!"😂🤣 This was an Honest Trailer I didn't know I needed until now!
I am really excited to watch the Se7en movie Honest Trailer for the first time.
Me too, it was good
I never noticed that Brad Pitt wears a childish basketball tie before, Honest trailer has a great sense of noticing details.
“Return to when Kevin Spacey had to play a role to creep you out.” 🤣
The John Doe line "I didnt do that" in response to the dead dog was a brilliant adlib from the always awesome Spacey! Also the sloth victim becomes a bit less scary when u notice he has two left arms lol
That Morgan Freeman impression for the gag at the end was perfect!
One of the best movie endings ever. Prove me wrong.
Dont want to. It simply is.
Definitely one of the better Honest Trailers.
Named Nerva with a picture of Trajan? This has got to be some next-level trolling
i was obsessed with this when it came out, i loved it so much. and to this date it's one of the few high-concept serial killer chases that aims for something a little more interesting.
"Se7en" is a great film, and "Burn After Reading" is also one of my favorite films - thanks for bringing up both of these awesome flicks in one Honest Trailer. Definitely know what I'll be rewatching later this week/next weekend.
That delivery on the "natural causes" line 🤣🤣
This movie disturbed me so much I have actively avoided it ever since
This movie disturbed me so much that it was only through repeated viewings I was able to appreciate how well it was crafted and desensitise myself to the content a little. But only a little. I totally get avoiding it, though. That was my approach to Irreversible. Everyone has their limits.
I have the same thing, but with Showgirls instead.
Hearing a movie I saw in my twenties that only feels like 10 years ago called "classics". Damn.
WELCOME TO MIDDLE AGE Enjoying the change between where hair used to grow on your body, and where it now does? No? Me neither 😞
And just like that The Epic voice guy created a start of the perfect meme.
I see someone got an email from Gwyneth Paltrow’s lawyer 😂😂😂 Ending changes with re-upload and her honest trailer video taken down
Ah, so I'm not giving into my fever dreams. It did happen!
Gwyneth had her own Honest Trailer video?
What did Screen Junkies said? Edit: I just saw the commentary, the video was age restricted, probably because the footage from the "embrace the edge" part but the Gwyneth Paltrow ending seemed to make fun of his company. Guess the b*tch lost "half a day of skiing" again.
wait - what? What exactly happened? GD that woman. She wouldn't have the same presumption if she'd just stuck to acting.
I am so disappointed I didn’t get to watch it before it was taken down.
"Return to when Kevin Spacey had to play a role to creep you out." HT always has at least one ultra genius line in each HT. This one was it. 😄
"I didn't do that" is a perfect line
I don't normally rewatch movies but it would take a lot to make me rewatch Se7en. it shook me to my core.
I'm surprised and happy to see you guys do a Honest Trailer for Se7en. I like your jokes about numbers in the title card, the city needing Jesus or Batman, and a complication of Mills saying f*ck. And I like your Morgan Freeman impression at the end. 🙂👍🔪
The "you got what you deserve" cop was not told that Sloth was going to jump up. That was the actors real reaction.
Poor Dr. Cox! 😂
se-seven-en is one of them not for kids movies that will mess you up for life
For life?? Why?
The thing about Trailer Guy's voice is that the longer he does this, the better its going to get.
Thank you for noticing the NIN opener! Just wish they included it on the official soundtrack!
2:45 speaking of which, the prosthetic head that was made for *Se7en* was used during the Gweneth autopsy scene in Soderberg's film *Contagion*
there was an actual head? Impressive attention to detail. Noice.
@@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494 you see it at the end of *Contagion.*
First time of my life i went to see a movie on theater twice. Pure cult classic.
I would love to see a movie about a serial killer tracking down and killing the seven dwarves.
4:30 funny thing, in the opening they pan over a whole bookshelf of notebooks, supposedly written by John Doe. They were supposed to be in a later scrapped scene but in the name of 'authenticity' someone actually wrote like 10 notebooks worth of serial killer ramblings, and in the end they were just shown in one passing shot for the opening.
Omg! That gerbil headline though! Lol
GOD TIER - y'all can truly make an honest trailer out of anything!
ScreenJunkies are the best there’s been so many movies that I had no idea about then I watch scream junkies and was super interested and able to look it up and watch the videos so thank you
"return to when Kevin Spacey had to play a role to creep you out" laughed so hard
0:18 LOL Fincher has provided us with so much meaty serial killer fare
Great edits, and great work by Epic Voice Guy.
Man, the Lust victim and her death still freak me out
That confession scene nearly had me leaving the theatre 😲
to kill a mockingnerd might be one of your best titles yet
Yo I love everyone's all like, "Wow I never noticed the tie before. They're so good at noticing little details!" The gerbil headline is a little detail, that tie is right in front of your face lol 😂😂
I used to love this, however the spark inside each honest trailer has dimmed over the years. Thank you for all the good laughs.
Do "Gone with the Wind" just for the hell of it
"Mommy is with the maggots now" is somehow the darkest and most disturbing part of this video 😂
These skits still break me every time you cover a movie I like. Y’all really destroyed a solid movie with memes
They actually did the unthinkable. The mad lads.
They don't "destroy" movies
Not even close
That's why I don't want an honest trailer about Unforgiven. Just kidding, of course I do!
This is a great movie, and like most great movies, it makes a bad honest trailer. I really don't share your conclusion that anything was destroyed here.
Give me the chills with the line "Welcome to PlayPaintChill. You just gained honor +2 for following us ! ".
This movie and "The Batman" actually give off similar vibes. And I loved both movies
first time i saw the batman i realy struggled to see past the se7en pastiche. i feel that reeves outh to have acknowledged it but i guess fincher borrowed from 70s cinema and so did reeves. and i love that he took a template like se7en and gave it a more hopeful ending.
Thanks for saying it epic voice guy. Made my day. ❤
Good timing, I rewatched this last night.
"Return to when Kevin Spacey had to play a role to creep you out" 💀💀
Se7en = Masterpiece
I feel like people throw around the word "masterpiece" so much that it's almost lost all meaning, but in this case I shall accept it. Good day, good sir.
You misspelled Ma5terpiece
= No.
Se7en blew my mind the first time I saw it - brilliant!
Loved it. 😂 my absolute favourite film of all time and the honest trailer does it justice !!!
Обожаю вашу рубрику, поэтому всё-таки подписался на вас. Пересмотрел все ваши ролики. Спасибо за юмор и хорошее настроение. Честные трейлеры про фильмы "Явление", "История Игрушек" и "Дорога Ярости" - мои любимые. Про "Форсаж" и диснеевские "злодейские песни злодеев" тоже очень смешно. Но есть одно видео, которое пересматриваю каждую неделю. Абсолютныц чемпион и самый смешной честный трейлер вы сделали на фильм "Без/лица". Друзья орали от смеха когда увидели это. Спасибо что продолжаете регулярно радовать новыми роликами ☺️ Thank you for hymor ❤️
All jokes aside this film is so awesome. 😁
This is one of the best Honest Trailers.
Whenever I'm on a road trip and see one of those fields filled with those electrical towers, I think of this movie.
I still want a movie based on the haunted Gerbil.
Remember rule 34 of the internet. Now reconsider that whole wish. Please. For the love of God 😲
It’s weird that both Se7en and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo involve serial killers acting out the seven deadly sins.
And both Fincher
Holy sh!t. I didn't noticed. 😅😅😅😅
Good timing, recently I watched Se7en and Burn After Reading for the first time
Aww now I need to see it!!
oh my god i was just on the other video they edited the fucking Gwyneth Paltrow mention out at the end. did they get hit with some legal action or something?? that was fast! 😂
Glad i saw it before it got taken down. It was glorious
What did they say about Gwyneth that got taken out?
@@enigma-189 i never saw it but the commenter above did.
@@thomegatherion924 what was said? please share, friend!
Goop lawyers were not amused, I'd guess
Was watching this 2 days ago .. such a classic movie
was NOT expecting this one today, but i'm here.
This is one of your best!
This movie has juuuuust the right amount of edge
Probably the best Brad Pitt performance of all time. He is very not Brad Pitt in this role 2:18 this shot of him really is a powerhouse performance in and of itself
I liked him in the movie, but I felt the complete _opposite_ of his acting in this scene. I was equal bouts incredulous and laughing with the "OH GOD (grimace) OH GOD (grimace) OH GOD (grimace)" _Pick an emotion, Brad!_
12 monkeys I think is better
This is a great Pitt role but my fave of his is Snatch
@@TheRealNormanBates if you were in that situation would you be able to just “pick” an emotion? You’d be all over the place. Fury, fear, denial, hatred, heartbreak, etc. he goes between full resolve to murder John Doe to looking away trying to calm himself down. It’s an amazing performance.
12 monkeys is his best imo
lmaoo not the "these are the four basic food groups, ten little piggies" 😂❤❤
the art directory in this movie was immaculate and very influential. how many similar movies was made after this
Se7en is such a masterpiece and is the greatest serial killer film of all time!! One of the greatest films ever made in all seriousness!!
I knew what was gonna be in the box
@@akshaychopra996 most of us knew because we've seen movies with more unexpected twists. But this one was like the true OG in this regard at the time and also the direction was very good. Apart from all that, I give 7 a 6.
Please do not ever insult movies like that by calling Se-Seven-En a masterpiece.
@@Tripp393 I agree. I hated the movie, a total waste of film.
@@earlleeruhf3130bro what
the perfect guy to direct batman, and yet nobody in hollywood has ever made that happen. fincher and batman is like scorsese and gangsters, a more perfect pairing of director and material just do not exist in this world. come on gunn, make it happen!!
THANK YOU! I thought I was the only one with this idea.
fincher is too clinical. i think reeves is a much better choice for batman. we don't need more cynical batman stories.
@@martinaseidel3316 naah..reeves's tried to ape fincher and it didnt work. the batman sucks.
This was a great one! Laugh out loud funny😂
The movie that opens with a NIN song and only gets more sulky from there… My 1994 self just had to admit some hard truths right there.
Now here's a movie that NEEDS a 4K release
You guys pulled the “Honest Hollywood Stories | Gwyneth Paltrow” video a couple hours after you dropped it. It was hilarious! What happened? Did Gwyneth send a Cease & Desist?
Probably so. We were among the lucky few who saw it.
I thought I was imagining things!
I wanted to show my wife. Was looking for it on my phone and TV for like 20 minutes, when I found there is a link to it on the Honest Trailer video's description. So I clicked the link -> didn't work. Then we started to watch the Honest Trailer and that got pulled, too. When it came back, we immediately watched it. Hope some day we'll know the truth of it.
@@arsyee well, this Honest Trailer they had to make an edit due to KZhead guidelines. They talk about it in the HT Commentary. There was an issue due to violence because they included the scene from Fight Club where Ed Norton's character shoots himself in the cheek. They changed it to a clip of him holding Marla's hand while the city blows up. The other trailer I am upset that I was working when it published and now I won't get to see it. I hope they re-upload it.
@@eileen_a_b Yeah, I saw that, but do we know anything about Gwyneth's video?
You’re breaking my heart! I loved this movie!
He should have done a The Count joke. "... Six murders. Ah! Ah! Ah! Seven murders. Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Think I saw this a few hours ago 😅
Best SJ video in forever!
