Short description

Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster deliver knockout Oscar®- winning performances in this shocking, powerful thriller. This terrifying masterpiece of suspense garnered five Academy AwardsTM including Best Director and coveted Best Picture.

Long description

A psychopath known only as Buffalo Bill is kidnapping and murdering young women across the midwest. Believing it takes one to know one, the FBI sends in Agent Clarice Starling (Foster) to interview an insane prisoner who may provide psychological insights and clues to the killer’s actions. The prisoner is psychiatrist Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Hopkins). Brilliant yet psychotic, with a taste for cannibalism, Lecter will only help Starling in exchange for details and secrets about her own complicated life. This twisted relationship forces Starlig not only to face her own inner demons, but leads her face-to-face with a demented killer, an incarnation of evil so overwhelming, she may not have the courage or strength to stop him. Horrific, disturbing, spellbinding. This thriller set the standard by which all others are measured.

  Cat & Mouse
Reviewed by Brando from Cape Town on 06 March 2012

Finally a film from my favourite genre, horror. 'The Silence Of The Lambs' is not your typical blood, guts and gore horror flick. It is a rare find in this genre, psychologically terrifying, brilliantly acted and a gripping adaptation of a bestselling novel.The film introduces audiences to Dr. Hannibal Lecter and Clarice Starling, complex characters who have acquired cult status because of the brilliance of the actors who portray them. The characters were brought to life by veteran actor Anthony Hopkins and the brilliant Jodie Foster, both of them receiving critical acclaim (including my own) which ultimately culminated in Academy Award wins for the both of them. Anthony Hopkins has less than 20 minutes of screen time in this film yet his incredible performance of Hannibal Lecter lingers through its entirety. It's a gripping cat and mouse game between the two characters as they try to outwit serial killer Buffalo Bill, albeit with apparently different motives. Starling in order to prove her worth and Lecter in order to delve deep into the psyche of a person so deeply troubled by her past, something a psychologist finds extremely appetising, excuse the pun. The film kept me glued to my seat from start to finish. I loved it. 'The Silence Of The Lambs' is a fantastic addition to my favourite genre and a deserved winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture, the only horror 'movie' that has ever managed that feat.
