Hi Anon The best option would be " I saw this movie last night. " "Have seen" (present perfect) doesn't work because the present perfect is generally not used in combination with a specific past time (last night). "Had seen" (past perfect) could possibly be justified with additional context, but you haven't provided any additional context.
