an overwhelming fascination

Rating: 10/10 (22 January 2005)

Silence of the lambs is honestly the best movie I've ever seen... I saw it for the first time when I was at the age of 14, I watched it with my mother an I remember, that I was afraid of it after watching... Until now, I saw it for the fifth time and now I get less afraid than fascinated by this movie... Hopkins acts in such a great way, that you feel disgust at Hannibal Lecter on the one hand and an overwhelming fascination on the other hand... In this movie you can find a great tension, cruel stories but also there is this relation between Lecter an Clarice... Lecter is Clarice's enemy and a kind of "friend" or "admirer" of her at the same time... Silence of the lambs is really a movie you HAVE to see !
