Seven. That has to be the most engaging thriller I've ever seen, it just completely draws you in and leaves you attempting to know what will happen before it, err, happens. =D

Silence of the Lambs owns this category. Just a great movie.

The killers in the PSYCHO-HALLOWEEN-SCREAM slasher trifecta were technically spree killers, not serial murderers.

The best serial killer psychothrillers are: The Silence Of The Lambs, Seven, Klute, Manhunter, Hannibal, The Cell, The Minus Man, American Psycho, No Way To Treat A Lady, Basic Instinct, Blink, Apartment Zero, Frenzy, Road Games, Sea Of Love and Tightrope.
