Phenomenal

Rating: 10/10 (23 May 2008)

I love this movie. The writing is as close to the book except for one place but the film did not butcher the book. The characters were brilliant, I read the book and it's prequel and Foster is Clarice and Hopkins is Lecter. Hopkins just emanated evil but in such a classy respectable way.
I wouldn't suggest this movie to someone without a stomach. some of the scenes are fairly gruesome and it has one scene with Dr Chilton where he shows Clarice a picture explaining how Lecter injured someone. Heck that even made me shiver.
It deserved its Oscars and it will have a lasting shiver effect on popular culture for all time.
