This film is a brilliantly disturbing experience

Rating: 10/10 (7 September 2009)

This is one of those films I wished I had seen for the first time on the big screen. Its greatness shines through wherever you watch it but the experience of watching it on the big screen must be breathtaking. I never tire of watching this film because it is utterly compelling from the the start and had my complete attention. There are some really dangerous and disturbed people out there in the real world but this film graphically reminds us that some of them are extremely intelligent and capable of virtually anything. The Silence of the Lambs is not full of violence and gore although there is some but it is the suspense and the tension and the quality of the way the story unfolds which lifts it out of the ordinary. For me this film is perfection and everyone who sees it will probably describe how uncomfortable they feel when watching it. I don't think everyone will like the film but I cannot imagine anyone not being affected by it in one way or another. Please watch this film and you will understand why.
