Intense

Rating: Null/10 (16 January 2002)

An appealing suspense thriller that is well written, directed and acted. Its physcological atmosphere, emboddied mainly via the conversations of Lector and Starling, makes it much more than a slasher flick. Intelligence, emotive power and character development pervade here, where your average horror film would insert additional bodies. The point-of-view camera work is done nicely, and the ominous first meeting of the two central characters may be the greatest introduction of villian ever.
