Thirty years after the release of one of cinema’s classics, fans of “Se7en” have discovered what was inside the box during the iconic scene with Brad Pitt — “what’s in the box?”.

A TikTok video shocked fans of “Se7en” when they discovered that there was actually something inside the box shown in the iconic scene featuring Brad Pitt.

The film’s plot follows detectives William Somerset and David Mills, played by Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt, respectively. The two are chasing a serial killer.

In the end, the criminal surrenders to the investigators. Played by Kevin Spacey, he lures them to a remote location and shows a box containing the head of David’s pregnant wife, Tracy, portrayed in the film by Gwyneth Paltrow.

TikToker Glittering Ghostwriter shared a video explaining that Gwyneth Paltrow’s head can be seen in another film.

In the movie “Contagion” (2011), Gwyneth Paltrow’s character undergoes an autopsy. The scene actually shows a prosthetic head of the actress that was never shown in “Se7en”.


“Since they already had a perfect model of her head made for ‘Se7en’ and never used it, they decided to reuse it for this scene in ‘Contagion’,” the TikToker explained.
