In this somewhat unplanned continuation of our David Fincher "The Killer" obsession, Amartya, Dhruv, and Srilekha discuss two of the director's widely acclaimed serial killer films -- "Se7en" (1995) and "Zodiac" (2007) -- that shine more light on the psyche of those pursuing the killer than the killer himself.
Thanks to another podcast regular -- Simon Ezra (@thebongcinephile) -- our Fincher trail also extends to Quebec, Canada. The final film discussed in this episode is Pascal Plante's "Red Rooms" (2023) -- a technologically updated version of the Serial Killer obsession told from the point-of-view of a devout admirer ("groupie") of the serial killer.
Listen to the full episode to hear what draws us to such films, why David Fincher's films are such a major influence on this sub-genre, and why it is so tricky to emulate his style.
Discussion for all three films includes spoilers.
