A movie tried to scare me once. I watched it with some chili beans and a nice Pepsi.
"Silence of the Lambs" is one of the true mesmerising movies of the 1990s. It's also genuinely frightening. How many movies can actually call themselves genuinely frightening? Not many.
Anthony Hopkins is perfect (read: PERFECT) as Dr. Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter. As far as I'm concerned, he overshadows anything. The role is brilliant and scary, made more so by the fact that THE MAN DOES NOT BLINK. Whew! Wipe the sweat off my brow and close my jaw.
What a movie. A double whammy. I'm speechless, even. And I'm NEVER speechless. Ask anyone.
