Sience of the Lambs is a gripping and emotional thriller that will be remembered for many years still to come. It is unforgettable and well written without any of the customary clichés of horror movies.
A serial killer that goes by the name of Buffalo Bill has been killing women and taking pieces of their skin. Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) a rising FBI agent has to capture this man. She consults with Dr. Hannibal Lector (Anthony Hopkins) (a former serial killer and psychiatrist currently in jail) to find out who Buffalo Bill is and to try understand the psychology of his mind.
The most memorable moments in this movie are the few scenes between Clarice and Hannibal. Even though they are separated by a glass wall, Foster and Hopkins are both mesmerizing in their roles and their relationship is one of the most interesting aspects of this movie. As Clarice divulges her deepest secrets about her life to Hannibal he gives her information on Buffalo Bill.
Although their performances are equally good. Hannibal will probably be the most remembered for the depth in his character and the way he abruptly changes with ease from a sophisticated, well-spoken psychiatrist to a deadly man-eater.
This is one of only three films that has won the five most coveted Oscars (best movie, best director, best actor, best actress, best screenplay) and it is well deserving of them.
Silence of the Lambs is a movie that is over 15 years old and still well remembered by many. It can definitely be considered a classic and it is one of the most well written horror/thriller films to be found. Be warned though, this movie has material that will offend many.
