Dark, deceptive, and completely brilliant

Silence of the lambs is one of the scariest movies of all time because of the way Anthony Hopkins portrays Dr. Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter, people think killers look like say Charles Manson but in silence Dr Lecter is an intelligent cunning physiatrist bent on playing games like a spider plays with a fly, Mr Hopkins quiet chilling portrayal of the mad doctor is perfect, Jodie Foster as the fresh faced FBI Agent Clarice Starling is the perfect plaything for the doctor, Ted Levine playing Jame "Buffalo Bill" Gumb is an actor I have never heard of before this movie but I can never see him in anything with out thinking of his role in silence. The writing was perfect, the acting was first rate, the directing of this movie keeps you wondering what will happen next and when it comes you want more. there are very few perfect movies and this is one of them.
