If you loved Se7en, try The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has roughly 3.0× fewer votes than Se7en — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by David Fincher, and they both carry the dread, paranoid, raw mood tags, and they sit in Crime / Mystery / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Se7en, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is

Stockholm, winter, a cold typewriter. A journalist and a hacker, an unlikely pair, unravel a decades-old mystery of a missing niece. Fincher grounds the dark Nordic landscape with stark realism.
