I've only seen clips of Seven Psychopaths myself, but yeah, it looks awesome. I actually rented it once and never got around to being able to watch it somehow. Need to get on that.
Not familiar with The Following, but I wouldn't doubt it. That pairing of Two Young, Preppy Boys Team Up For Homicide has been done several times, thanks to the infamous real-life crime duo of Leopold and Loeb. They did it for Hitchcock's The Rope, Murder By Numbers, both versions of Funny Games, and a few other things I'm not thinking of I'm sure.
But yeah, i wouldn't recommend it to everyone. It's deliberately unpleasant. But in a good way? I have reviewed it, if it makes a difference: http://candycorncomm.livejournal.com/90864.html
