Anders Reviews. . .Se7en
Episode 249
Wednesday, 21 October, 2026
Hello!Anders Holmes is back with a new solo Anders Reviews. . . episode.Spooky Season is now in session, summer is over, the days are getting shorter and colder. It is the perfect time of the year to sit down and watch a horror film or two. Or many if you're a big horror nut, like Anders.On this episode, Anders sits down to discuss one of his favourite films of all time. Not just one of his favourite horror films of the 1990s. The film is Se7en, which was directed by David Fincher. This was Fincher's proper debut as a movie director, after the debacle that was Alien 3. Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman star as two homicide detectives that are tasked with investigating a brutal and mysterious crime. They are on the hunt for a serial killer who kills their victims based on the seven deadly sins. Freeman's character Somerset is a disillusioned detective, who has one week before retiring. Pitt's Mills is a young and idealistic detective with a short temper and who has just transferred to Somerset's department. He is married to Gwyneth Paltrow's character Tracy, who is lonesome and doesn't like this rainy city that they have moved to. R. Lee Ermey, Richard Portnow, Michael Massee and John C. McGinley star in the film as well. We hope you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for the next Anders Reviews episode. Be sure to check out our Monument Valley Film on our YouTube Channel.Also do check out The Dummy Detective, a Ventriloquist Murder Mystery. The film that was discussed in the last episode of The Movies & Me series. A wonderful and fun film that harkens back to Film Noir pictures made during the Golden Age of Hollywood. But portrayed and told with a unique and modern twist. The film is the brainchild of Jonathan Geffner, who stars in the film as Detective Van Trillo and wrote the film's screenplay. Deborah Twiss and Ed Altman, who were featured in our last episode along with Jonathan, play the characters of Chloe Lake and Elliot Black. The Dummy Detective also features Hollywood acting legend: Sean Young. The film is set in an upstate New York inn, where a killer hides amongst a group of eccentric and strange guests staying at the Inn. All have their own secrets and chequered pasts. The ventriloquist detective Van Trillo and his dummy partner Sam Suede must race against time to find and unmask the killer. The Dummy Detective is a charming film that nicely blends the genres of the mystery thriller and film noir with dark comedy. The Dummy Detective is available to stream and watch on various sites, like Amazon, Tubi and Plex. You can find all the info on the film here by clicking this link. You can follow the film on Instagram and on YouTube. Also, do give Deborah and Ed a follow as well.Anders's screenwriter work can also be seen at work in the horror, car chase thriller Delivery Run, co-written with & directed by Joey Palmroos. The film has been released digitally and also in select cinemas in the US and the UK. In Finland it was released on Apple TV after finishing its limited cinema run and was the Number 1 film for multiple weeks. You can read a review about it here on the Fangoria website.
