'The Silence of the Lambs' is one of the most effective and suspenseful thrillers I can remember seeing. It has everything you want and expect from this type of film, including some superb acting performances from Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins. The latter conveys evil in this film as well an any actor I've seen. His performance is truly mesmerising. The film is so atmospheric and sustains a high level of tension for large periods. The conversations between Agent Starling and Hannibal Lecter are brilliantly done and make for compelling viewing. The twists are delivered at the perfect moment and there's never a dull moment in the entire film. This is a memorable and brilliantly executed film that contains exactly what an audience wants from a crime thriller. It's clever, fast paced and unpredictable - a thriller from the top drawer.

The Silence of the Lambs presents perhaps the best movie villain , Dr Hannibal Lecter , played amazing way by Anthony Hopkins , besides being a very intelligent villain , the script is excellent , photography and good , and the scenes that have Clarice with Hannibal in hospice are always excellent , the performance of Jodie Foster is great , won the Oscar with merit, and Anthony Hopkins is bright, the scene that Hannibal escapes from prison is great , unfortunately the sequences of this film are much lower , the steering is excellent, and the rest of the cast works very well , not to mention that the film has scenes for those who have stomach, the silence of the Lambs comes easy in my top 5 of the best thrillers ever made. Note 10

Why on earth has this film got five Oscars? It honestly didn't deserve it with a lack of enthusiasm and action! Josie Foster and Anthony Hopkins were alright but I don't see much happening between them to be honest. All they ever do is talk talk talk during the film which honestly bores me out! I really wouldn't call this a scary film but I would say this, I yawned for about 27 minutes of it and tapped the 'X' sign on my tablet to stop watching it, I was completely fed up to be honest! I wouldn't recommend anyone watching this since I found it quite unenjoyable and not amusing!

Funny how I hadn't seen 'Silence Of The Lambs' ever since it was just finishing it's theatrical run back in 1991. Hopkins, Foster and Demme have gone on to do other things of course, but I recently caught this again on DVD again, and man, this still has a lot of ability to scare you out of your wits. Anthony Hopkins is just wild in his Academy Award winning performance. I find it amazing that I was getting chills up my spine just from watching him play Lecter. This is the best of his Lecter performances, as the other movies (that would be Hannibal and Red Dragon (though they were okay) lack the dramatical oomph so prevalent in this one. One wonders how on earth Hopkins could do this then do something like a light comedy like Spotswood (which is exactly what he did). If you haven't seen this in a while, do yourself a favor. Watch it again.

Other than Anthony Hopkin's performance, this movie has no value whatsoever and, in my opinion, is the worse movie to sweep the Oscars. It is completely unpleasant and Jodie's on-again, off-again, accent gets bothersome after awhile. I would rather never see another movie than have to sit through this again.

The incredible portrayal of the Hannibal Lecter, masterfully build suspence, breathtaking story, excellent cinematography, frightening score, bleak, dark atmosphere, altogether makes this film one of the best of its genre.
