  - Newsday
• "The interplay between Starling and Lector as they share an indefinable, dark understanding gives the film its unforgettable and unsettling power."
  - San Francisco Chronicle
• "It has been a good long while since I have felt the presence of Evil so manifestly demonstrated as in the first appearance of Anthony Hopkins in THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. "
  - Chicago Sun-Times
• "Jonathan Demme's SILENCE OF THE LAMBS has everything you want in a popular thriller. It's stylish, intelligent, audacious rather than shocking, and stolen by a suave monster you'll never forget."
  - Boston Globe
• "THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS is one slick, sick piece of psychological manipulation. It is an ultrarealistic horror movie, expertly made, certain to start a rash of nightmares about demented killers who mutilate or devour their victims."
  - Arizona Republic
• "THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS is something exceedingly rare and invaluable in movies these days: an accomplished, intelligent -- and genuinely scary -- thriller."
  - Orange County Register
• "Ultimately, though, what makes LAMBS so uncommonly effective is not what it shows but what it suggests about humanity. You have been warned."
