As we don’t meet Doe until the last quarter of the film, it’s up to the set designers to help us understand his world a little better. Se7en is the tale of two detectives on the hunt for a deranged serial killer named John Doe, who kills his victims ironically using one of the seven deadly sins as inspiration. It’s gross, really gross, and builds a picture of the twisted lack of humanity that lies in wait. Tables overflow with rotting food, insects make the walls shift and crawl and the bathtubs are filled with what looks like a combination of tar and Bovril. Walls are crusted in grime and rust, wallpaper hangs in damp yellowing strips, fridges peel open, their liquefied contents dribbling out like decade-old apple sauce. The Baker residence is not a welcoming place.
