The Movie Silence of the Lambs starring Jodi foster as agent Clarice Starling and Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Hannibal Lector was praised as an amazing horror thriller when it was released in 1991. In fact, the movie was even granted the highest honor a cinematic production can receive when it was voted the best movie of the year by the academy of motion pictures, becoming the first and only horror movie to receive this coveted award. …showed first 75 words of 2394 total…

…showed last 75 words of 2394 total…suspense that seems nearly impossible to top. Despite the impeccable recreation of the novel through the movie, the similarities and differences are so deeply woven that it makes it nearly impossible to choose one ov! er the other. Reading Silence of the Lambs was just as suspenseful as watching it. I believe that despite all of it's horrific content, this story was artistically and imaginatively put together in all aspects of telling it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
