The #4 Definitive Horror Film (Spoiler?)

Rating: 10/10 (19 August 2002)

This is probably THE best crime/horror thriller ever made. I have watched this movie probably more than any other I've seen. I watch it almost every time it comes on TV and I've rented it at least 5 times. It IS that good. The story follows an F.B.I. trainee named Clarice Starling on her search for the serial killer named "Buffalo Bill." Along the way, Clarice gets clues to the identity of the killer from another killer named Hannibal Lecter. The plot is perfect, the acting is great, and the movie as a whole is one of the best of all time. (Check this website if you don't believe me) With most films, after repeated viewings, there are some places were the acting could have been better or the story slacks off. This movie has very few, if any of these places. I like this movie because it's smart and at some points, even a little unsettling. Buffalo is like no other killer ever seen in a movie. (Although some similarities to Leatherface from T.C.M. can be accounted for, Bill is a little more caring with his victims. While they're alive anyway.) If you like this movie, you'll probably like Hannibal, although "Silences'" sequel could have been better.
