A Serial Killer who people call "Buffalo Bill", has skinned five women. FBI Chief Jack Crawford selects FBI trainee Clarice Starling to ask Dr. Hannibal Lecter, an imprisoned former psychiatrist, about the case and see what he thinks of it, same as he did with Will Graham. Dr. Lecter asks Clarice about her personnal life. During that time, Buffalo Bill captures his next victim. Clarice offers Dr. Lecter a transfer if he helps her. When he gets his transfer, Dr. Lecter asks Clarice about her childhood. She says that she lived with her uncle on a farm and tried to escape one night when she had a dream about lambs being slaughtered. She tried to run away with one of them. She says that when they finally catch Buffalo Bill that the lambs would stop screaming in her head. When Clarice leaves the prison, Dr. Lecter esapes, killing two attendents, and escaping in an ambulance. Clarice finally tracks down and kills Buffalo Bill, but she will never forget her confrontation with Hannibal Lecter.
One of the best psychological Thrillers ever made. Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins were excellent. Hannibal is an unforgetable character. Follows Manhunter very well, since Manhunter was good, and had two more sequels, Hannibal was okay, and Red Dragon was almost as good as Manhunter. This movie was a winner of 5 Academy Awards including Best Picture. You can't miss this movie. One great film!
4 out of 4. My IMDB Rating: 8.7/10. Rated R for Strong Graphic Violence, Language, Grisly Images, and Some Nudity.
