It has taken its place as one of the most complicated and unnerving psychological horror films.

Rating: 10/10 (9 July 2010)

Naive young female FBI agent (Jodie Foster), trying to gain an insight into the mind of a serial killer, seeks the help of imprisoned serial killer and psychiatrist Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) to track him down.
These vivid characters, brilliantly acted, linger in the mind for a long time. Hopkins approaches his role as Lecter with something like gleeful gratitude; he makes it look like an actor's long-awaited dream come true. In its way, this tense thriller is a masterpiece, even if viewed from behind the sofa. In 2006 at the Key Art Awards, the original poster for the film was named best film poster "of the past 35 years".
