Synopsis

To enter the mind of a killer she must challenge the mind of a madman.

Clarice Starling is a top student at the FBI's training academy. Jack Crawford wants Clarice to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant psychiatrist who is also a violent psychopath, serving life behind bars for various acts of murder and cannibalism. Crawford believes that Lecter may have insight into a case and that Starling, as an attractive young woman, may be just the bait to draw him out.

Super thrilling watch, iconic for a reason. Wish I could watch it for the first time again Couldn’t help but notice that Buffalo bill’s house was so kunty, reminded me of House of Yes in Bushwick. Would be cool to see a rendition of it
