Pros: powerful, insightful, scary

Cons: begins slowly

The Bottom Line: In the genre of thrillers, they don't come better than this.

Pros: Dark, haunting, great acting and script

Cons: Takes a little while to really get going

The Bottom Line: Freaky stuff. Deserved Oscars. Got them. No complaints. Watch it.

Review: 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...

The Bottom Line: One of the best suspense movies available. Hopkins is brilliant in star role as Hannibal the Cannibal.

Cons: NONE

The Bottom Line: cannibalism, drama, horror, action packed, suspenseful

Review: Have you seen the NEW movie out called “HANNIBAL”? If you haven’t I would then suggest you first see the movie “THE SILENCE OF THE LAMB”. This is the first part of the squeal to Hannibal.

I rented the movie Silence of the Lamb again this...

Cons: Missing the extras from the Criterion DVD

The Bottom Line: This is a classic thriller and deserving of its accolades. Don't bother renting you must own this one.

Review: “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, ...

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.

The Bottom Line: Get it or go through life intellectually impaired.

Review: 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...
