One of the (If not THE) Smartest films ever.

Rating: 9/10 (2 September 2006)

Serial Killer 'Buffalo Bill' (Ted Levine) is on the loose, killing woman in strange and horrible ways. An FBI-in-training Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) is sent by her boss (Scott Glenn) to go interrogate smart serial killer Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), who lives in a small dark cell run by the mean Dr. Frederick Chilton (Anthony Heald). Young Clarice is just starting a sick, scary game of mystery, all held together by Dr. Lecter.
My god. What a masterpiece. The writers of this movie (Thomas Harris and Ted Tally) must be two of the smartest people on this planet right now. The twists and turns in this movie are unlike your usual twists ("What? He's really been dead for 10 years?!" or "What? He's really my other personality?) where something stupid and/or unbelievable happens. In a strange way, this film is believable and that makes it even scarier.
Oh, yes. Another thing I must note. While this is mainly a "thriller", it's still a horror. Some people just can't stand that the "lowest form of cinema" has come up with this. It will scare you silly.
Another film that's for almost everyone (Excluding little Billy). It's no popcorn film, but it's also not an ANTI-popcorn film. It's genius, really! Enjoy!
