Rating: Null/10 (28 March 1999)

The Silence of The Lambs is a gripping story of a young FBI agent's attemp to track down a serial killer with the help of another. (Jodie Foster) plays Clarice Starling, an FBI agent who is haunted by visions of her father's death when she was a child. She is sent out to find Buffulo Bill, a killer who skins his victims for reasons unknown to anyone until the near end of the movie. Helping Clarice is the incarcerated canibal genious, Dr. Hannibal Lecter AKA Hannabal the Canibal, beautifully played by Anthony Hopkins. This psychotic mastermind knows who Buffalo Bill really is and only agent Starling knows this. The two have kind of a pact in a you help me, I help you, manner. This is one of my favorite movies bacause of the sheer terror that Anthony Hopkins makes you feel the first time you meet his character in an insane asylum, (what a great actor). I recommend this movie to any fan of psychological thrillers, ones that make your skin crawl when think, "what if that really happened".I give this film a 9.0 out of 10.0.
