The actors make this one great

Rating: 9/10 (17 May 2007)

This film is regarded as one of the best films of all time and deservedly so. Jonathan Demme is at his absolute best here building suspense and tension into a blend of physical and psychological terror rarely matched in film.
The reason this film works so well is because of its stars: Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins. The chemical reaction that takes place between these two on screen is so palpable and acidic you find yourself hardly able to watch.
Their scenes are what sets this film apart from any other horror ever made. And yes it is a horror movie. The mind games never wain when they are on screen. They must have had a great time working with each on this film.
This is a must see for horror film lovers, suspense film lovers, and just plane film lovers. A great movie.
