I think the main reason people compare it to Se7en is because it's horror film involving sadistical killings, the name of it is a number, and it has the funky spelling. The story line, while being vaguely similar, the plot twist makes in completely different. And for being a Christian film with a what...2.1 million dollar budget, or something like that (compared to Chronicles of Narnia's 180 million dollar budget and The Passion of the Christ's estimated 25 million dollar budget), it was amazing. The acting on the most part was good, however, the detective could have done better. House, the next Ted Dekker movie is supposed to be much better.
