Beautifully written and executed... not quite as scary as thought

Rating: Null/10 (5 October 2003)

I don't know why this ranks as one of the greatest horror films of all time, but it surely is one of the most thrilling suspense films put together in ages. There are enough twists and turns to make it interesting and Hannibal Lecter's (Anothony Hopkins) mind manipulation works wonders on the audience as well as that of Clarice Sterling (Jodie Foster). Just be sure to be fully awake when you watch this movie otherwise you, like me, might not understand the clues to the movie that makes it make sense.
Hopefully, you also aren't afraid of realistic gore and violence because its everywhere. Just remember that its all an illusion anyway. I can't say that this is one of the best movies ever made because there have been so many spinoffs ever since this movie was made. The villain and prisoner helping to catch a bad guy has been done over and over numerous times.

Still its a great movie, one that I recommend to all.
