Briliant !

Rating: 9/10 (21 August 2003)

My absolute favorite ! Glued to the screen from frame 1 till the end. There are a lot of good things to be said about this movie and have already been said. One thing however, which I find is great about this movie, but which is hardly mentioned is that it keeps you at a 100% suspense level without going into a "shocking" scene. I mean there are no kiekaboe scenes (you expect someone to jump from behind a tree in the opening scene, etc), no special stunning effects, no bloody scenes (the camera is on Lectors face when he kills the policeman), etc, etc. Nothing really scary is directly shown, all is in the suggestion that something is going to happen. Great !
