Have you seen Alien 3? It is identical to Se7en in its brooding, heavy, depressing atmosphere. It's pregnant with dread throughout and what I really love about the film is not so much the murders -- although they are well executed and truly grotesque (just seeing the "Lust" murder tool makes me cringe) -- but the interaction between the detectives that fleshed out their personal views about the case, understanding the killer's motivations, and where they're each coming from in terms of their own perspectives about living in general, all the while they're moving through the film and trying to put the pieces together.
Of Fincher's films, this is one of the best.
