Disturbing but exciting

Rating: 10/10 (21 June 2001)

Silence of the Lambs has got to be the greatest Thriller ever made. Hands down. It is so good. The acting is perfect, the camerawork is perfect, and the story is perfect. Can a movie be better than this? Yes, but very rarely is a movie better than this. Hannibal Lector is one of my favorite movie characters ever created. He is brilliant and he is psychotic. He is what every person has nightmares about in their dreadful dreams. He is what wakes people in the middle of the night and physically forces them out of bed to take a cold shower. Hannibal Lector is the epitomy of everything that is evil. Lector is the type of man that would make you vomit and make you smile at the same time. If you listen to every word he says, you will see the definition of "genious" spill out all over your mind. I think Hopkins deserved more than an Oscar for his perfect acting as Lector. That is how well he acted in that role. Of course Jodie Foster was great as Clarice Starling, but Hopkins steals the show. If you want to see a movie that will stand the test of time, watch Silence of the Lambs.
I give it an A+++++++++++
