Editorial Reviews

A psychopath nicknamed Buffalo Bill is murdering women across the Midwest. Believing it takes one to know one, the FBI sends Agent Clarice Starling (Foster) to interview a demented prisoner who may provide clues to the killer's actions. That prisoner is psychiatrist Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Hopkins), a brilliant, diabolical cannibal who agrees to help Starling only if she'll feed his morbid curiosity with details of her own complicated life. As their relationship develops, Starling is forced to confront not only her own hidden demons, but also an evil so powerful that she may not have the courage or strength to stop it!

I *never* give five stars except for classics, but this film has held up over the years and has become a true classic, in my opinion. Yes, it has some disturbingly violent scenes and it deals with some of the dregs of humanity. And yet, by shining the light in those dark corners where the human cockroaches live, it shows us what it can mean to be human if we are not afforded a decent upbringing or help when mental health issues *begin*, rather than when they get out of hand. It also raises the question of whether some people are just born evil and are beyond redemption.

Juxtaposed against the worst of humanity is Jodie Foster as the fresh-faced, hyperintelligent yet somehow innocent FBI agent, who can look at the worst that one human being can do to another and still continue her mission to find and stop the perpetrator. Add Scott Glenn as her world-weary yet still optimistic mentor and you have a team that got their man, even if other forces let another evil slip through their fingers.

I've lost count of how many times I've seen this movie. Somehow, I never grow tired of it. Whenever I am flipping through channels on TV and I find it, I will start watching it wherever it happens to be at the moment, even if it is in the middle or near the end. With most movies I *have* to watch them from the beginning but I know this one so well I don't need to fill in the blanks. Sometimes it concerns me that I am so fascinated by such a dark movie about extremely disturbed characters, but I have always been fascinated by the workings of the human mind. This represents, for the most part, one end of the spectrum, with Clarice Starling's character as the opposite end. Good against evil - a tale as old as humanity. It's no wonder so many people find this fascinating.

Yesterday, February 14, 2016, marked the 25th anniversary of the release of “The Silence of the Lambs,” one of the greatest crime thriller movies of all time. It’s an odd date for a movie release to be sure, but it certainly didn’t hurt this film either at the box office ($131 million) or at the Academy Awards. It’s one of only a handful of movies to sweep Oscars in all five top categories: Best Picture, Best Actor (Anthony Hopkins), Best Actress (Jodie Foster), Best Director (Jonathan Demme), and Best Writing-Adapted Material (Ted Tally).

The FBI’s top criminal profiler, Jack Crawford, assigns a young agent trainee named Clarice Starling (Foster) to conduct a routine field interview with the infamous Hannibal Lechter, a serial killer notorious for dismembering and eating his victims – hence earning the nickname “Hannibal the Cannibal.” Crawford (played by Scott Glenn) hopes that Lechter (Hopkins) can give insight into the motivations behind a new series of grisly murders being committed by a psychopathic killer known only as “Buffalo Bill.”

During the interview, which is conducted in the maximum security psychiatric prison where Lechter is held, “Hannibal the Cannibal” uses his twisted intellect to get into Clarice’s mind and under her skin, thereby creating within her doubts about herself and her ability to help find and capture “Buffalo Bill.” But Lechter has a much larger and more sinister agenda in mind, and he plans on using Clarice as a means to achieving his ultimately horrific goals…

“The Silence of the Lambs” is a terrific film in nearly every respect. It is, in equal parts, a psychological thriller, police procedural, and horror film. Each part is magnificently brought to the screen.

Silence of the Lambs truly deserves all the praise it gets and more. It has an excellent attention to detail that you don't see too often. Also it has memorable and interesting characters, including one of the most thought provoking horror characters ever, Dr. Hannibal Lecter. Anthony Hopkins does a top notch performance of the manipulative psychiatrist who's mere existence blurs the lines between intellect and savagery.

The two contrasting traits of Hannibal Lechter, brilliance bordering clairvoyance and cannibalism, make him a fascinating character to watch. And his protagonist, the unthreatening, plain, innocent FBI trainee Clarice Starling, provides even more contrast. Hannibal exposes human traits as he heals Clarice from a childhood trauma and avenges her violated honor by persuading a fellow inmate to kill himself by swallowing his own tongue. The staggering suspense and fears for the victim Buffalo Bill holds in a shaft of his house culminate in Clarice's shootout with Buffalo Bill.
