Truly creepy, smart and astoundingly good. This movie deserve the hype

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2003)

The silence of the lambs earns its prestigious distinction as the third movie ever to sweep the big five at the Oscars. Foster plays young but exceptional Clarice Starling, who in efforts to hunt down a serial killer holding a woman hostage, must interview another such psychopath. The mind of former psychiatrist Dr. Hannibal Lecter is twisted but brillant, and may hold the key to the mind of the man the FBI is looking for...but in order to get at this information and earn his trust, Clarice must use her only bargaining chip: The revelations of her own deepest fears and vulnerabilities. Truly creepy, smart and astoundingly good, this movie deserves the hype... A must see
