Movie Reviews of The Silence of the Lambs (Full Screen Edition)
Movie Review: Brilliant but yucky!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
There's no denying Hopkins mastery in this movie.
Foster is equally masterful.
The script, direction, atmosphere is simply brilliant.
I'm not new to gore but I don't like the cannibal stuff.
Yuck!!!!!!!
A brilliant movie that will take its place in horror history.
It's a must see movie for horror or thriller fans, but it's not appropriate for kids.
Easily in the top twenty of all time best horror films.
Recommended!!!
Summary of The Silence of the Lambs (Full Screen Edition)
Based on Thomas Harris's novel, this terrifying film by Jonathan Demme really only contains a couple of genuinely shocking moments (one involving an autopsy, the other a prison break). The rest of the film is a splatter-free visual and psychological descent into the hell of madness, redeemed astonishingly by an unlikely connection between a monster and a haunted young woman. Anthony Hopkins is extraordinary as the cannibalistic psychiatrist Dr. Hannibal Lecter, virtually entombed in a subterranean prison for the criminally insane. At the behest of the FBI, agent-in-training Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) approaches Lecter, requesting his insights into the identity and methods of a serial killer named Buffalo Bill (Ted Levine). In exchange, Lecter demands the right to penetrate Starling's most painful memories, creating a bizarre but palpable intimacy that liberates them both under separate but equally horrific circumstances. Demme, a filmmaker with a uniquely populist vision (Melvin and Howard, Something Wild), also spent his early years making pulp for Roger Corman (Caged Heat), and he hasn't forgotten the significance of tone, atmosphere, and the unsettling nature of a crudely effective close-up. Much of the film, in fact, consists of actors staring straight into the camera (usually from Clarice's point of view), making every bridge between one set of eyes to another seem terribly dangerous. --Tom KeoghBased on Thomas Harris's novel, this terrifying film by Jonathan Demme really only contains a couple of genuinely shocking moments (one involving an autopsy, the other a prison break).

A psychopath nicknamed Buffalo Bill is murdering young women across the Midwest. Believing it takes one to know one the FBI sends Agent Clarice Starling (Foster) to interview a demented prisoner who may provide clues to the killer s actions. That prisoner is psychiatrist Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Hopkins) a brilliant diabolical cannibal who agrees to help Starling only if she ll feed his morbid curiosity with details about her own complicated life. As their relationship develops Starling is forced to confront not only her own hidden demons but also an evil so powerful that she may not have the courage or strength to stop it!System Requirements: Running Time 118 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: HORROR Rating: R UPC: 027616909091 Manufacturer No: 1006760
