Clarice Starling is a top student at the FBI's training academy. Jack Crawford wants Clarice to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant psychiatrist who is also a violent psychopath, serving life behind bars for various acts of murder and cannibalism. Crawford believes that Lecter may have insight into a case and that Starling, as an attractive young woman, may be just the bait to draw him out.

The Silence of the Lambs Audience Reviews

Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way

Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

pointhalf Sweeping a feat at the Oscars that only two other films have ever accomplished, The Silence of the Lambs keeps you on the edge of your seat. Literally. Or hiding under a blanket and a bowl of popcorn. The characters instead of making an eye line between each other often talk straight into the camera where you automatically are put in an uneasy seat. The intensity is directed right at you. And the story becomes more immersive. A perfect once in a lifetime combination happened when you get spectacular acting, writing, and directing all in one 2 hour time block...it still gets my heart racing. If you haven't seen this movie, I recommend it to anyone seeking a mental thriller. Perhaps once deemed gory in the early 90's, but by today's standard the film sits pretty tame but again mentally thrilling. There's no "boo" in this film. But you still might be brimming with fear by the third act. Enjoy movie lovers.

grabeeleverett I recently had the pleasure of watching this movie for the first time just today. And I had no idea what I was missing. I envy anyone who hasn't seen it. Everything about this movie is amazing, for one: the performances. This amazing performance by Anthony Hopkins is amazing and is like nothing I've ever seen before, he truly captures the fear of a real villain. Second, the story, this film is filled with moments where I was completely glued to the screen in suspense, something that rarely happens to me. I was completely captured by the idea of what scary or disgusting thing was going to happen next.WATCH THIS FILM YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!

juanitacorrea The Silence of the Lambs directed by Jonathan Demme is close to a masterpiece. Expertly shot and acted this is another in the line of Hannibal Lectar films and arguably the most well-known. Anthony Hopkins will forever be known for his chilling portrayal of Lectar(he won an Oscar for this) and Jodie Foster once again shows why she is such a fine actress. The pacing is good and Buffalo Bill is a maniac you want caught, even if it means siding with a cannibal. To Demme's credit the film makes Lectar far more interesting than any other character despite the fact that he isn't in the film much. Great watch.

cathylr Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster are absolutely perfect. A must be seen.
