Review of The Silence of the Lambs (1991) by Dann M — 16 Oct 2012
The psychological thriller The Silence of the Lambs is a well-crafted film that has become a modern classic. Based on the Thomas Harris novel, FBI cadet Clarice Starling seeks help from convicted serial killer Dr.
Hannibal Lecter in order to catch a murderer that has kidnapped a senator's daughter. The performances by Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster are excellent; especially Hopkins, who owns every scene he's in.
The directing is also exceptionally good, and effectively builds suspense and tension throughout the film. The Silence of the Lambs delivers a smart and intense thriller with a provocation and compelling story.
