The Silence of the Lambs — trailer

Our take

Demme's serial-killer procedural is more horror film than thriller, and unlike most of its imitators it knows the difference. Hopkins is the marquee, but Jodie Foster's Clarice — guarded, smart, working twice as hard as the men around her — is the reason it lasts.

Good for: Thriller viewers who want it intelligent rather than loud.

Jack Crawford wants Clarice to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant psychiatrist who is also a violent psychopath, serving life behind bars for various acts of murder and cannibalism. Crawford believes that Lecter may have insight into a case and that Starling, as an attractive young woman, may be just the bait to draw him out.
