Bloody amazing! An excellent film

Rating: 10/10 (24 December 2006)

I never really got off on this film until first saw it whilst on holiday in a hotel in New York. I didn't get off on it at first but then my parents bought it on DVD. I saw it again and I just couldn't take my mind off it!
Hopkins is delicious as Hannibal Lector with his amazing acting and brilliantly menacing speeches. You can't help that there is a monster just waiting to appear from Hopkins. I just couldn't help laughing with amazement. However, one of the biggest breakthroughs of the movie is probably Ted Levine as Jame Gumb (Buffalo Bill), playing the main psychotic serial killer. He has a way of playing the part that you is so mad that it is excellent.
Despite this, I don't really understand or believe the stories of people fainting in the cinema at the film's release in 1991. It is a horror, yes, but not a film worth having a nervous breakdown. Even so, it is and excellent piece of acting and film making, a great way to start the 90's; 10/10!
