Description:
A novice FBI agent must track down a serial killer who puts women down in a pit, tortures them and removes their skin to make dresses. Her only help? The killer's former psychiatrist who likes to eat people.

QVamp says:

A classic movie staring Jodie Foster as detective Clarice Starling and focusing on a killer psychologist Hannibal the Cannibal. Hannibal helps lead Clarice to a killer who is stalking large woman and taking their skins.

The killer, is certainly a transvestite who also admits to killing his male lover. This movie really pissed on GLAAD in their portrayal of queer characters as psychopathic killers.

As much the story of Clarice Starling's triumph as a serial killer story, the fault of the Jame Gumb character must be laid at feet of author Thomas Harris. He doesn't give us a character, he gives us a collection of traits that don't add up. This is really more of a woman's picture. You should see the cut used by Lifetime.

Dr. Lecter is the nicest, kindest and most helpful of all the people Clarice meets, but you wouldn't want him over for dinner now, would you?

Oh my goodness, in spite of the subject matter, I have to admit that this was one of the funniest movie ever. Though I am sure that it wasn't exactly supposed to be.
