The Silence of the Lambs

The Silence of the Lambs (1991) starring Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins, Scott Glenn. FBI candidate Clarice Starling (Foster) is recruited into the hunt for a serial killer dubbed Buffalo Bill by the media. Her boss (Glenn) sends her to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Hopkins), another serial killer who is now a prisoner in an ultra-high security jail. This movie is a taut thriller, with plenty of spine-tingling chills and never a dull moment. The film uses a little deceptive editing at a couple of points to heighten the suspense, but overall it is nearly without flaw. The ending is truly creepy and will stay with you. Good subtitles, plus closed captions. Grade: A-
