Perfection in form.

Rating: 10/10 (21 June 2000)

Absolutely the pinnacle in modern suspense films. "Seven" had the gore, but how can it possibly hold a candle to the palatable horror felt when Starling finds a head in a jar? Or the hideously erotic tension as Lecter's finger brushes that of the young agent? Hopkins is a master, Foster is his equal. In the search for intelligent entertainment that will leave neither your mind nor your behind numb--here is the answer.
