Silence of the Lambs stars Jodie Foster as rookie FBI agent Clarice Starling who is recruited to her first major field case by her boss played by Scott Glenn in order to speak with a monstrous killer called Hannibal Lecter played by Anthony Hopkins so that the FBI can catch a serial killer called Buffalo Bill, but Starling will have to confront all she believes in order to stop this twisted madman.
Silence of the Lambs is a film that I admire very much, Jodie Foster’s performance is one of the greatest I’ve ever seen from any film and Jonathan Demme’s direction is tight and tense but unfortunately, the film creates a major flaw by essentially turning into a perverse slasher film in the second half as the kidnapping plot turns a little too sexual and once Foster gets inside the villain’s house, the film turns into an Alien style haunted house film.
Despite that though, this film deserves a 3 and a half out of 5.
