The greatest thriller of all time

Rating: Null/10 (18 June 2004)

From beginning to end, Silence of the Lambs is chilling, creepy and in general a fantastic film. Jodie Foster is outstanding in the roll of Clarice Starling, the "woman in a man world" and where do I start with Anthony Hopkins. He may be the only actor alive who can make your feel sympathy and disgust at the same character, at the same time. There are times that you really do feel that Hannibal is a nice guy, before you remember exactly what he has done. I think Jack Crawford's line sums it up "Never, ever forget what he is. The dungeon scenes are among the greatest in film history. I urge anyone who has not seen this film to get hold of a copy. It is, without doubt, a true masterpiece of film.
