The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

Wow, wow, wow. This was listed as one of the top five scariest movies according to the American Film Institution, and while it wasn't edge-of-your-seat scary, it certainly was a CREEPY movie! Anthony Hopkins did a superb job playing Hannibal Lecter and Jodie Foster was very interesting in her role as well. One of the things that creeped me out the most was the general sense of inevitability. You just KNEW Lecter was going to escape. Obviously, this movie is not gonig to be for the squeamish. There are a lot of "Oh, yuck!" moments in the film. But did I like it? You bet. 4.5 stars.
