The most chilling of all thrillers!!!

Rating: 10/10 (29 February 2008)

I have seen this movie so many times and every time it gets better and better.What makes it so special you ask?Well the great actors for start.Sir Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter is the best choice for the role.He was born to play the brilliant but psychopathic at the same time cannibal with a taste for livers.I have read the book three times and be sure that the movie follows it closely.Jodie Foster as the unexperienced but intelligent Clarice Starling is also the most perfect choice.She gives depth to her character and it shows.Scott Glenn is great as her mentor Jack Crawford.Wonder why Glenn never became a bigger star he sure deserved it with his performance here.Be warned that the movie has quite a few chills and will take you to the edge with its intense music score and actors.Director Jonathan Demme created a masterpiece and Thomas Harris should be proud.Hannibal and The Red Dragon are good on their own but they just can't touch this movie.Its just too perfect to compare to.
