A masterpiece, the Lambs will never stop screaming......

Rating: 10/10 (16 July 2010)

Winner of 5 Oscars, Silence of the Lambs remains a dark, sinister and chilling tale with a chemistry between the two main leads that has to be seen to be believed.
Rookie FBI agent Clarice Starling (Foster) seeks advice from the brilliant and cannibalistic psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter (Hopkins) for information on a new serial killer named "Buffalo Bill" who has a perverse habit of skinning his victims.
Hopkins puts in a career best performance as the titular Doctor, providing us with one of cinema's most creepy and cold-blooded characters, his voice gets under your skin and stays with you forever. Foster is equally as superb as the rookie student, her vulnerability giving way to hardened and steely resolve during the cat and mouse climax.
However, it's Ted Levine who steals the show as Buffalo Bill, his sexually-frustrated nature is enough to make even the most hardened viewer shudder (THAT dance).
Chilling, goose-bump inducing and compelling, Silence of the Lambs is still one of the most decorated and riveting thrillers of the 90's.
