Seven
A jaded veteran cop and a fiery rookie must unravel a twisted serial killer's deadly moral lessons before they become the next targets.
“Gluttony. Greed. Sloth. Envy. Wrath. Pride. Lust.”
Synopsis
In this dark and haunting film, two homicide detectives pursue a serial killer whose crimes are modeled after the "seven deadly sins," taking viewers through the disturbing aftermath of each victim. Det. Somerset, a seasoned investigator, delves into the meaning of each sin in an attempt to understand the killer's psychology, while his younger partner, Mills, dismisses his methodical approach to solving the case.

A crew of 56+ credited
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 9.9× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
