Genius Film!

Rating: 9/10 (21 September 2015)

"The Silence of the Lambs" is a film that was about 2 hours in length, but it felt much shorter than that. It keeps itself entertaining, especially when the two brilliant main villains are on screen! Anthony Hopkins gives a awesomely creepy performance as the cannibal Hannibal Lector, and Ted Levine plays Buffalo Bill, in a mildly comic, but still quite terrifying performance with a subtle layer of sadness.
Jodie Foster also does a pretty great job as Clarice Starling, and deserved the Best Actress Oscar in my opinion.
The score by Howard Score is absolutely lovely. The moodiness and dreariness to the score really adds to the film's slightly sad, and highly disturbing nature. I think it may actually be his best score ever, and that includes the score to the LOTR trilogy, which is also quite magnificent.
The film is also very intense at times, mainly during the climax of the film. And I'm not exaggerating when I say that the climax to this film is some of the most intense stuff I've ever seen in any film. An absolute 10, I can't imagine giving it a lower rating.
