Clarice is a young woman looking to work for the FBI. She lands an internship and we see her get assigned a task that would spook anyone, talking to a serial killer. Hannibal Lector is infamous for killing and eating his victims, which doesn't sound too appetizing. I was ironically eating lunch while watching the scene where he bites off a guard's cheek. Anyways, Clarice questions Hannibal Lector about the identity of a serial killer they're looking for over the course of the movie. He emotionally manipulates her through the whole thing to try to get to her head. In the end, Clarice saves the day! Woo!
Okay, this movie was great. I'm not sure why I liked it so much. The plot was odd, since everyone would expect Hannibal to be the bad guy. But, nope, it's some other guy named Buffalo Bill. Something I definitely have to praise it for was the absence of cliches in the horror genre. There weren't any jumpscares in the entire film in my opinion. I also liked how Hannibal functioned in his character. Yes, I would have loved to see him out chomping civilians' faces off, but the fact that it seems like he's helping the FBI is cool to me. I guess I don't have much else to say, other than Clarice's accent is distracting. Like, it would have been dope if I didn't laugh during the lamb scene, but still, it was fine. Also, the scene where Hannibal ate that guy's cheek was epic. Definitely miles better than the final showdown between Bill and Clarice in my opinion.
