It is a very thought-provoking film that raises the question in my mind: "Can you believe that people like that actually exist?!?!"

Rating: Null/10 (7 March 2001)

This movie is, by far, my favorite movie of all time(with the exception of Hannibal). I have seen this movie 27 times in the past three months and I keep wanting to watch it over and over and over again. It is a very thought-provoking film that raises the question in my mind: "can you believe that people like this actually exist?!?!" The movie is Philip Anthony Hopkins Breakthrough performance and earned him an Academy Award for only twenty-seven minutes on screen. I could see that he gets totally enveloped in his roles. When I met him at another movie premiere, even though it was just for a few minutes, I felt like I was talking with Hannibal Lecter. I was not to exuberant, because I felt that if I interrupted him, he would pull out a knife and slit my throat. That's how convincing he is. I recommend to anyone who has any morbid curiosities about cannibalism, Watch this movie with the doors locked, the shades down and the lights off. If this movie doesn't scare you, I don't know what will.
