THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (18) Nasty 'Ol Hannibal the Cannibal is called upon to assist the police in the hunt for a serial killer. Anthony Hopkins won an Oscar for his performance as Hannibal Lector and he thouroughly deserved it. He is utterly menacing and nasty (especially he uses a guy's face as a method of escaping - ugh!). Jodie Foster is also good as the trainee inspector called upon to talk to Hannibal. Very dark and unnerving, this film is not for the faint hearted. 8 out of 10
