hugely overrated

Rating: 6/10 (20 March 2016)

The silence of the lambs is a hugely overrated movie. I can't believe it beat movies such as Boyz n da Hood, Thelma and Louise, and Fried Green Tomatoes for best picture! That is crazy. Horror movies almost never win the best picture Oscar and when one does it's the silence of the lambs?! This isn't even a very good horror movie. There are many more horror movies WAY better than this. This one is just okay. There are other movies other than those three I mentioned released in 1991 that are way better than the silence of the lambs too but maybe less classy which made them be seen as less Oscar worthy to whoever decided on what Oscars went to who. This winning best picture for 1991 is a huge injustice. Like how Chicago won over The Pianist. And how Shakspeare in Love won over Saving Private Ryan.
