Transcript of Featured Review

Expo TV today I'll be reviewing Silence of the Lambs Special Edition; starring Jodie Foster Anthony Hopkins and Scott Glenn. Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster deliver sensational Oscar-winning performances in this shockingly powerful thriller. Stunning and spell-binding this terrifying masterpiece garnered five Academy Awards including Best Director and the coveted Best Picture. A vicious psychopath is murdering woman throughout the Midwest. Believing it takes one to know one the FBI sends Agent Clarice Starling (played by Jodie Foster) to interview a prisoner who may provide clues to the killer's actions. That prisoner is Hannibal Lecter (played by Anthony Hopkins) a brilliant demented cannibal who agrees to help Starling only if she'll feed his morbid curiosity with details of her own complicated life. But 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 the strength to stop it. It's got a bunch of special features; brand new Inside the Labyrinth 20 minutes of deleted scenes original 1991 making of featurette Anthony Hopkins's phone message never before seen outtakes reel photo gallery collectible booklet teaser trailers TV spots and more. One of the most famous chillers the drama Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins do excellent jobs. It won Best Picture in 1991. So I highly recommend Silence of the Lambs. Thank you

Summary

Based on Thomas Harris's novel, this terrifying film by Jonathan Demme really only contains a couple of genuinely shocking moments (one involving an autopsy, the other a prison break). The rest of the film is a splatter-free visual and psychological descent into the hell of madness, redeemed astonishingly by an unlikely connection between a monster and a haunted young woman. Anthony Hopkins is extraordinary as the cannibalistic psychiatrist Dr. Hannibal Lecter, virtually entombed in a subterranean prison for the criminally insane. At the behest of the FBI, agent-in-training Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) approaches Lecter, requesting his insights into the identity and methods of a serial killer named Buffalo Bill (Ted Levine). In exchange, Lecter demands the right to penetrate Starling's most painful memories, creating a bizarre but palpable intimacy that liberates them both under separate but equally horrific circumstances. Demme, a filmmaker with a uniquely populist vision ( Melvin and Howard , Something Wild ), also spent his early years making pulp for Roger Corman ( Caged Heat ), and he hasn't forgotten the significance of tone, atmosphere, and the unsettling nature of a crudely effective close-up. Much of the film, in fact, consists of actors staring straight into the camera (usually from Clarice's point of view), making every bridge between one set of eyes to another seem terribly dangerous. --Tom Keogh
