The terrifying ur-thriller.

Rating: 9/10 (29 June 2017)

I don't normally watch horror movies. They're not normally my thing. However, on the suggestion of a friend, I recently watched "The Silence of the Lambs" and very much enjoyed it. It was a terrifying movie, but it was good for far more than just some jump scares. The terrifying sophisticated psychiatrist Dr. Hannibal Lecter was played wonderfully by Anthony Hopkins, and Jodie Foster also did an intense Academy Award winning performance as FBI agent-in-training Clarice Starling.
A gripping movie from beginning to end that left me with more questions than answers, "The Silence of the Lambs" is a very good movie that deserves all the praise it has earned.
