A great psychological thriller
From all the hype and bits I heard about the film I wasn't sure it would be one I would like that much. I finally gave it ago and I did really enjoy it. It's nothing like what I expected really. Although about a ballerina in Swan Lake there are many deep layers to the meaning of the film. Quite dark, disturbing at times and raunchy as well, many will be surprised at what they see. A great performance from Natalie Portman as the perfection driven dancer who has problems coping with what is expected of her. A great psychological thriller with some surreal scenes. If you thought you'd skip it, think again!

Good characters
Full of twists and turns
Really enjoyed this book after it was recommended by a friend. As the plot develops, it becomes more believable and the characters start to really come to life. It has become a book I would recommend to anyone wanting to try psychological thrillers.

Lots of twists, interesting plot, claustrophobic
Mark Edwards' crime thriller is interesting because there is a massive psychological element to it. At times it is claustrophobic, especially as the protagonist continues to believe her assistant is plotting to overthrow her. While it does become slightly over the top, it's still gripping and engaging.

One of the best written films I have ever watched. The dialogue romps along, as does the action and the violence. As a rule I don't like violent films but Tarantino's violence is OTT rather than psychological so it becomes almost comical. This film is a cult classic and deserves this kudos.

1991 | Horror, Thriller
I was late to the table having only recently watched this gripping and monstrous psychological thriller, Jodie Foster as the FBI agent in training needing Hannibal Lecter's insight into a case, Hopkins plays the manipulative cannibal with aplomb and you fear for Clarice at every turn. Top quality scares in this one.
