The best thriller ever..period.

Rating: Null/10 (18 December 1999)

No movie will ever compare to this, and should never try. The first time I saw it, I was 12 and it gave me nightmare. Then I read the book (nightmares again). Then at age 16, I decided to watch it again. I studied it, and was fascinated by it. (it is still plenty scary though!) I am a psychology major, hoping to specialize in criminal psychology. This is essential viewing for fans of thrillers and twisted plots. Foster and Hopkins are very deserving of their Oscars, I especially loved Foster's performance. Hopkins will get into you head and under your skin. Perfect in every way, and it is my second favorite movie of all time.
