A Shame to watch this classic foiler

"Nothing happened to me, Officer Starling. I happened. You can't reduce me to a set of influences," Lecter insisted in "The Silence of the Lambs." Hopkins made us believe in evil incarnate -- and that's what made him truly frightening.
Not only does the new movie reduce the serial killer to the sum of his tragic misfortunes, it also implies he'd never have survived but for a couple of lucky breaks. And what's more, that he deserved them!

*****
It's unfortunate that such great classics are subject to the abuse of sequels. If you consider Silence of the Lambs a classic, don't destroy that idea by medling with this cash flow film. |
