good suspense

Rating: 8/10 (12 March 2012)

It has been a quite long time to watch a surprisingly nice and scary thriller film like this. There is no ghost, no ear-splitting sound, but horror comes calmly. Power of story and characters.
The Silence of the Lambs numbed me with its notorious(?) thrilling characters and scenes. Now I understand why this movie is so much famous and loved. It deserves to be called a masterpiece of thriller. I guess it will be fun to catch some homage for The Silence of the Lambs in later films.
Anthony Hopkins was just Dr. Lecter himself. His existence was very irresistible. Buffalo Bill was also great, but it is well described in the film that he is just a cocoon compared to the moth, Dr. Lecter. The actors play their characters wonderfully. The most shocking thing about the film is that Anthony Hopkins was in the film only for 15 minutes, in total. He is brilliant.
I hope I would have a chance to watch more films like this in 2012.
