The Silence of the Lambs Trailers

Clarice Starling is a top student at the FBI's training academy. Jack Crawford wants Clarice to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant psychiatrist who is also a violent psychopath, serving life behind bars for various acts of murder and cannibalism. Crawford believes that Lecter may have insight into a case and that Starling, as an attractive young woman, may be just the bait to draw him out.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

The plot of Silence of the Lambs is something special. The layers to all developments as well as the depth of themes in each interaction make the book and movie exceptional. Foster and Hopkins do phenomenal jobs in their roles, and it is a well-directed movie. I don't think it's at all a scary movie or really thrilling, aside from the climactic scene in Gumb's house, but perhaps that's because I knew the plot from the book. Intricate and beautifully woven, The Silence of the Lambs is a brilliant, carefully crafted movie that effectively demonstrates the enormous strengths of the book.

Great film, Hannibal Lector is probably one of the creepiest and scariest villains in a film that I've ever seen, a real monster in human skin. The film is incredibly tense and has some great body horror, really gross stuff. The best parts of the movie for me are the scenes between Starling and Lector, both of whom are great and interesting characters backed up with wonderful acting from Foster and Hopkins.
