I just watched Silence of the Lambs for the first time. I must say, it's excellent. Anthony Hopkins, Jodie Foster, and Ted Levine all deliver great performances. It's my favorite type of thriller/horror movie, believable. Slasher movies (Freddy, Jason, Chucky) don't scare me at all (Except for It, clowns scare the bejeezus out of me) but watching stuff that could actually happen just is so creepy.
Buffalo Bill is so perverted and scary, someone I would not want to meet on the street, and what he does is just :hurl:
Does anyone else like this movie?
and
Are the sequels (Hannibal and Red Dragon) any good?

Have yet to see Red Dragon but have the Hannibal dvd. Without trying to reveal too much to you, it is alittle more graphic than SOTL and isn't as suspenseful, IMO.

Loved SOTL, saw it when it first was released and left me hating my basement apartment. :lol:

Red Dragon is a Prequel, its story takes place before SotL.

Personally i was dissapointed with Hannibal, i thought he took the story and the characters in the wrong direction, but i'm not the author.

And yes, SotL is a great movie and won Best Picture back in the early 90s (91?). Creep as hell... very suspenseful. Very well done.

I saw the tittle of this thread and immediately thought of Silence of the Lambs and was like 'what da'???
I didn´t see the prequel and the sequence, but I only heard they were very crude and people left with an upset stomach. Second parts are never better, so I have no intentions to see them. SOTL was excellent and still has me wondering how on earth the guy did to dance naked in front of the camera with that robe... if you know what I mean... :lookaroun :animwink:

You just made me realize how old I am! When I first saw that movie, right when it came out, I think I was 20, 21 the most! I am going to be 33 next November and you are watching it for the first time! :eek: Time flies!

I feel so old... :cry:

As it should be! SotL is a great great movie. Who but Anthony Hopkins could make Hannibal Lector a sympathetic character? lol... and I read Hannibal, that was enough for me. I still get nightmares from that book. *shudders*

The books are great! I read SOTL after the movie and thought the movie was pretty accurate. That is my favorite out of the three. I read Hannibal and Red Dragon before I saw the matching movies. I think Julianne Moore is disappointing as Clarice in H and RD. Jodie Foster just set the tone in SOTL. I like to think that I can handle gore and blood cause I work in a hospital and see some pretty gross things sometimes but the ending of Hannibal got to me. THINK about it!
