Repulsive and yet captivating

Rating: Null/10 (26 November 2008)

This film is about a cannibalistic criminal helping the FBI to catch a sadistic serial killer.
I thought "The Silence of the Lambs" would involve a lot of gory scenes or scenes chilling body parts, but I was wrong. "The Silence of the Lambs" is an intelligent thriller, well paced and well developed. It creates an atmosphere of suspense, urgency and fear throughout the film. Anthony Hopkins is chilling as Hannibal Lecter. His sick mind is chillingly portrayed, it repulses and yet captivates me. My heart was pounding, and my palms were sweating throughout the whole film. No wonder this film got so hyped when it was released years ago. I am looking forward to watch the other Hannibal Lecter films.
