Silence of the Lambs is possibly the most amazing crime thriller to ever smash through box office and the Academy Awards. It stole the spotlight from every other 90's flick ever.
The movie is not great for a cool way to catch a criminal or anything like that, it deals more with the intense dealings of Hannibal Lecter. His genius, calm, and psychopath characteristics make him the most ironic, intriguing, and most amazing horror villain ever devised by the human mind. His brains combined with his cruelty is the perfect villain and is portrayed in the most convincing sense by the astounding Anthony Hopkins.
The side story of Buffalo Bill takes the stage at the end and steals from the glory of Lecter and deprives the movie of its near perfection. The ending would strike me more if it ended about thirty minuets earlier.
Silence of the Lambs is a must see movie in all aspects. The terror and psychological twists will keep you on the edge of your seat every minuet you keep your eyes on the screen. After all, this is the movie you need to see to make the lambs stop screaming.
