Pros: Great performances by Foster and Hopkins, directing by Demme, thrilling, exciting, discomforting.
Cons: My god that Chilton guy is greasy.
Summary: It’s always the trannies, isn’t it? The Silence Of The Lambs hits home for me a bit more than for most people, but certain subject matter is, as the man says, “incidental”.

Pros: Acting, direction, solid production

Pros: The perfect movie, plain and simple.
Cons: Nothing.
Summary: There are few perfect movies made in this world. Some movies work well with one group and some with another. But for the most part, movies are pretty much average to slightly above, enjoyed but forgotten or tossed aside for the next big thing. The ... read more

Pros: Excellent plot, characters, and dialogue!!
Cons: None
Summary: "I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti." - Possibly the most quoted line from Silence of the Lambs. Silence of the Lambs is, in my opinion, one of the greatest movies of all time. The cast, the dialogue, and the plotline make for ... read more

Pros: tone, acting, score, characters, lots of DVD extras
Cons: Missing the extras from the Criterion DVD
Summary: “Silence of the Lambs” was the first movie I ever bought for myself… strange the things I remember… Some consider “Manhunter” to be the best serial killer movie, but SOTL gets my vote. It's spooky, in a darkness-of-human-nature kind of way, disturbing, ... read more

Pros: Dark, haunting, great acting and script
Cons: Takes a little while to really get going

Pros: Hopkins, great acting, very suspenseful, disturbing
Cons: A little to extreme and goofy at times, a little short
Summary: After the Shining, I was kind of on a horror frenzy. I could not watch enough of them. This film was the climax of my obsession. After it, I've never seen a horror film as good. Saw excused. The film begins rather unexitingly, where we see Agent ... read more

Pros: Anthony Hopkins does a great acting job.
Cons: Jodi Foster, dull, lack of action, not much suspense, predictable.
Summary: Everyone says that this is one of the best movies of all time. "A gem! This is SOOO scary", is what people say. So when I popped this into my VCR I was looking for a good thrill. But I would have seen more action watching the "are you my daddy" tests on ... read more

Pros: There must be several thousand, so where do I begin?
Cons: A few nit-picking errors I may or may not mention in my review.
Summary: Ok, let's get some the details out of the way so I can become subjective. Silence of the Lambs is directed by Jonathan Demme, who won the Oscar for his work. He was relatively unknown until this film lifted him to fame. His prior work included ... read more

Pros: Hopkins, Foster, Levine
Cons: Nada
Summary: Despite the definitiveness SILENCE OF THE LAMBS is usually touted with, Jonathan Demme's 1991 award-winner wasn't the first of Thomas Harris' Hannibal Lecter books to be filmed. Unfortunately, 1986's brilliant MANHUNTER was passed on by audiences, so the ... read more

Pros: Luminous performances. As well “etched in your mind” scenes between Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins.
Cons: At times, down-right primal gore, though not intolerable.
Summary: Kids today. With their basement-level expectations for horror movies, they're downright giddy after seeing Red Dragon.
Then, understandably wanting another serving of their favorite cannibal, they rush to Blockbuster to rent its older ... read more

Pros: Thrilling, Intense, Powerful.
Cons: None.
Summary: This is probably the best crime thriller ever made. Hannibal the cannibal is the type of character that you want to hate but in a way you feel sorry for him. Jodie Foster is outstanding as FBI agent Clarice Starling who works with Hannibal over the ... read more

Pros: Flawless Acting. VERY Thrilling Plot. Great Characters.
Cons: This movies is virtually perfectly made, but it may be disturbing to some viewers.
Summary: I have yet to see a movie that tops The Silence of the Lambs. When people first hear about this movie, they think it is going to be a typical horror movie. The truth is that The Silence of the Lambs is not a horror movie at all. It is really three ... read more
