One of the scariest ever

Rating: 9/10 (25 May 2007)

Seriously, 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.
But, the reason this film works and kicks so much ass has everything to do with its stars: Jodie Foster (Genius) and Sir Anthony Hopkins (Knight). The chemical reaction that takes place between these two on screen is so palpable and acidic you find yourself hardly able to watch.
Their dynamic is what sets this film apart from any other serial killer/horror/suspense/thriller ever made. The verbal jousting never wains when they are on screen. These are mind games unlike any other portrayed in the movies before or since.
This is a must see for horror film lovers, suspense film lovers, and just plane film lovers. A great movie.
