A Trifecta of What’s Best on the Box for Sunday 24 August 2018
Sunday, August 26, 2018 Filed in: BC on TV
Today’s Number One Film: The Silence of the Lambs, 1.15pm HBO Signature. Watch this if you liked Manhunter, Psycho or Se7en. Though judged by some critics to be not as scary as Manhunter, the first movie based on the “Hannibal Lecter” books, The Silence of the Lambs
is a top-notch thriller with huge atmosphere and two very strong
performances from Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins. The
cage-to-elevator-to-ambulance scenes alone make the whole film
worthwhile. Of course you have to come to terms with the extremely
challenging concept of a cannibal – someone who eats human beings -
being a “star”, but that’s a piece of cake
