Se7en doesn't rely on shock value whereas Saw does. Se7en relies on story and characters and saw relies on those elements as well as frights. If I remember correctly, there were some disturbing images in Se7en but nothing truly frightened me (Save for the skinny freak in the bed) but Saw had some truly frightening moments.
