Great entertainment, Great acting and very scary but not perfect!

Rating: 8/10 (12 January 2004)

This is a classic horror movie of the 90's. The acting by Anthony Hopkins and a young Jodie Foster is great. The story has become a story that almost every new scary movie steals. If you see it today it might not be the same as when I saw it for over ten years ago. It is a really good scary film that includes much of everything. I still think the same has I have always thought about this film. It is not perfect, I don't think that it is a film that really touched me and I did not found it as a masterpiece.

Maybe the main problem is that you don't get to study the victims enough. I had also heard so much good films about it that I had too high thoughts about it. It is really worth watching but not one of the best scary movies ever. If you ask me I like the classic films that Hitchcock made better. It has been done many "silence of the lambs"-look alike and also two sequels which is worth watching too. 8/10
