10 Unforgettable Character Introductions In Movies

9. John Doe - Se7en

From Dusk Till Dawn
New Line Cinema

Without even being seen, the unsettling presence of John Doe throughout Se7en looms large as detectives Somerset and Mills try to wrap their brains around his heinous murders.

As the detectives argue about the unknown murderer’s motives and who he likely is as a person, we're enticed to come up with our own expectations. What no one expected, however, is that this evasive spectre would put an end to the detectives’ desperation by turning himself in.

While that's a surprise, the biggest shock is the reveal of who he is. Not only is he an unbilled Kevin Spacey but he also looks just like any ordinary man you would quickly forget about. He's not an obvious monster, aside from the blood, he's just a guy.

And that's what makes the biggest splash.
