Hello Clarice....

Rating: 10/10 (28 February 2007)

A very interesting storyline, a determined rookie agent and the most chilling character ever depicted on film make The Silence of the Lambs an all-time classic. Not many films have won the top 5 Oscars and this certainly deserves to be one of them. The camera-work in this film is brilliant, showing you the action through the eyes of Clarice Starling with all other characters speaking into the camera, getting you involved with the film, and you can almost feel the fear of Clarice's assignment. Anthony Hopkins' performance as Hannibal Lector is something else. There are very few evil characters that you find yourself rooting for, and even despite knowing that he is a sicko mass murderer, you want him to escape from the prison. He is one of the best characters ever, certainly the creepiest! The Silence of the Lambs is one of the most thrilling films of all time, and the twist at the very end is the icing on the cake. 10 out of 10 - easy!
