The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

I do like this film, really. It has a very good villain in Buffalo Bill, who really feels very sick and twisted, and I as a viewer really did feel bad feelings towards him. It's a rather black/white-way of doing a serial killer-story, but that's what I consider Silence of the Lambs to be: the culmination of the clichéd serial killer hunt. The thing it does differently though is that instead of visiting a low-life crackhead for information, the main character squeezes it out of another serial killer; Hannibal Lecter, played by Anthony Hopkins, is a very sly son of a bitch who is always looking for the best way for him to return to his cannibalistic ways. The film also handles it's female protagonist very well; she often takes not of the fact that she is a woman in a man's world, and we cle...Read more

This is one of the movies I always wanted to see. From all the movies related to Hannibal Lecter it's the main one and the one I never watched. It's an interesting story about a serial killer, I mean, two and their behavior and the whole journey of a FBI student trying to catch him.
It wasn't the movie I was expecting to watch. I must say I imagined that it was totally different but I couldn't help loving it. It's a great movie, with great actores and full of good scenes that makes you not stop watching for anything, plus has a smart scrit that gives you little details and clues of what's happening. It needs to be watched again and again.

"Believe me, you don't want Hannibal Lecter inside your head." Michael Mann struck moderate success with a 1986 thriller entitled Manhunter. This film introduced us to a brilliant psychiatrist/cannibalistic serial killer named Hannibal "the Cannibal" Lector. First played by Brian Cox, the role was then filled by actor Anthony Hopkins. Based on a novel of the same name by Thomas Harris, The Silence of the Lambs is one of the greatest movies of all time and one of the world's most effective thrillers. If you have never seen this absolute classic thriller that redefined the serial killer genre you have no idea what you're missing out on. Clarice Starling (Foster) is a brilliant FBI agent-in-training who is assigned to assist in the hunt for a serial killer known as Buffalo Bill who...Read more
