Oh Wow, AMAZING in every way. One of the best films ever,best thriller ever IMO

Rating: 10/10 (10 March 2013)

The Sixth Sense is close.
I never really appreciated this movie in the 90s when I was still a teenage but now grown up having viewed it about 20 times I am blown away by Hopkins, Foster, the quotes, the suspense, Buffalo Bill and just ALL the elements and dialogue in-between.
Absolutely unreal. So compelling, so interesting and so scary. This movie is my all time favorite horror movie, up there with Psycho and the Shining but in my opinion more enjoyable then both. Psycho has the best twist and is revolutionary and The Shining is more scary but the Silence of the Lambs was rightfully deserving of Best Picture in 1990 and the Academy got it right.
What is perhaps most amazing is that Anthony Hopkins is so scary, evil yet he is a character you feel some empathy for and you really do not understand why. His performance sticks with you even though he was not in the film a terrible deal.
The villain, serial killer Buffalo Bill is insanely creepy and does a marvelous job acting here. One of the best climaxes I have ever seen. The Score, The Direction, the Acting, and the Script are all amazing here.
This is a 10 out of 10 and deserves all the Oscars it got.
Lambs is one of my all time favorites.
