All rights reserved.| Description Jonathan Demme directed this genre-bending thriller in which Jodie Foster portrays Clarice Starling, an ambitious FBI student who is on the verge of graduation when her superior enlists her help to track down a serial killer. When a senator's daughter turns up missing, the feds determine the most likely suspect is Buffalo Bill, who is murdering women and doing something terrible with their skin. But to find him, Starling is forced to enlist the aid of another notorious serial killer--the terminally incarcerated ex-psychiatrist known as Hannibal the Cannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins). Hannibal is the only one who truly understands the killer's mind and motive. He agrees to help Clarice, but in exchange, she has to tell him her deepest secrets. Slowly she wins Hannibal over as he discovers that unlike most heroes, she is more moved by vulnerability than she is attracted to power. Clarice's relentless search for the killer and Hannibal's unorthodox analysis are chilling. The screenplay is based on the best-selling novel by Thomas Harris.

Reviews Review created: 06/09/08 by: I'm sure we all know the story of this film. He's in prison as he is a Doctor who liked his patients so much he ate them, She's a FBI Agent in the final months of training, She is trying to find a serial killer who preys on young girl's and with his help she just may be able to catch him. This a film that shouldn't be missed, ok it's a bit gorey at times but without it the film wouldn't have been as good. Hopkins plays Lecter with such passion, that yu can actually believe he is that man. A film you cant miss 10 out of 10 Review ID: 10000000008603508 Was this review helpful?

Report this review Review created: 23/02/08 by: I decided to buy this dvd because i had heard so much about it, my friends thought that i would love it, this is because i love to watch a good mind moving dvd. When i watched this i would say that it is that...a good mind moving dvd. I enjoyed watching this dvd because i had to sit and think i found it hard to take my eyes off the screen. I found that anthony Hopkins played a great part in the film and was fantastic at playing that person that he did. i would recomend this to any one who likes a film that makes you think, cringe and has a moving ending.

Silence of the Lambs is one of the few films which I believe every adult should see. It is very tense and scary, but in a tasteful and clever manner, which should appeal to most audiences. The acting is excellent, which has been recognised by many awarding institutions. This includes the Oscars, who awarded best actor and best actress to the two lead acts of the film, played by Anthony Hopkins and Jody Foster. This amazing film, of epic brilliance and importance is one of the best films I have ever seen. I highly recommend this film to any one. Review ID: 10000000003262018 Was this review helpful?
