Has anyone ever seen that Comic Strip show "Gregory - Diary of a nutcase" which was half about a real-life serial killer(played by Ade EdmonRABon) amd half a pisstake of Silence of the Lambs. Sums up what I think about this film, which, mystifyingly, seems to be thought of now as a classic.
"Starling! I want you to go to the killer's house and duel in the dark with him until one of you is dead......everyone else, we're going on a helicopter ride!"
