Halloween Movie Month [The Silence of the Lambs]

I'll admit this is finally my first time watching this. But I have an excuse....just kidding I don't, but this is a great film, not just horror-wise, thriller-wise and all around. The Silence of the Lambs follows the story of a FBI trainee Clarice Starling. She is assigned to talk with and try and gather information from the infamous psychiatrist (and psychopathic killer) Dr. Hannibal Lecter on information about a killer named "Buffalo Bill" who tortures, kills, and skins women. First off, being a psychology major, the acting and dialogue scenes between Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins are amazing. Just a psychopath who is trained in psychology talking with a young upstart psychologist trying to get into the FBI, their back and forths are incredible. The music throughout is amazing and in every scene it just sets the tone. This isn't your typical horror, it's a hybrid with a thriller. So the kills are there. There's blood, there's bodies, but there's no real "BOO" scares. It's more a make you think and freak you out with what Lecter and Buffalo Bill are doing and have done. That being said this is a thriller, and I loved trying to figure out what the killer was doing, what Lecter was up to, and what was going to happen next in the long run. Also, the close up to faces during intense scenes and talking is a nice touch and got me into them even more. You get into the characters and you want them to succeed, fail, get caught, etc, and I love it when you can identify, relate, or root against people. All in all this is just an amazing movie to me. I was never bored, and never had the urge to do anything but be immersed by this awesome flick. As if you can't tell, I highly recommend this. Just a great movie.
