AN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT THRILLER & PURE CLASSIC

Rating: 10/10 (17 August 2019)

Silence of the lambs is a stone cold 90's CLASSIC Thriller, there's outstanding performances from it's cast, Jodie Foster is absolutely Brilliant as Clarice Starling, she gives one of the GREATEST Performances in cinema history!!! Her performance is now iconic as is the equally outstanding Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter, another iconic character/performance in cinema history.
This old school Thriller is pure excellent entertainment, there's a terrifyingly dark & creepy atmosphere & it's a gripping edge of the seat CLASSIC movie.
This is one of those films that came out when i was young growing up in the 90's & this movie was an instant CLASSIC & huge success & feels today just as glorious as it did way back then!!!
Some films are absolute stone cold CLASSIC's & silence of the lambs is definitely one of those movies.
This extremely dark Detective Thriller can also be included in the Horror genre as it balances between Cop Thriller & Sinister slasher but made with so much more love.
There's a real dread filled atmosphere that's terrifying at times along with now Classic scenes & moments that are iconic to this movie now.
I love the dark & dangerous feel to this film & following such a strong character like Clarice in such a sinister world of sadistic serial killers is scary & exciting, foster has created such a great character that she is so memorable & like i said, very iconic.
The rest of the solid cast round out the richness of this crime story, such as the excellent Scott Glenn & the also excellent Ted Levine, both are incredible in their roles & also give incredible performances.
The mood, music & Cinematography is all perfect.
Silence of the lambs is a perfect late Saturday night type of Thriller, this is filmmaking at it's absolute best, especially within the "THRILLER" & "Horror" genres.
