Movie Review #21: The Silence of the Lambs

I remember going to the video store often as a kid. My family rented movies regularly. I would primarily gravitate toward the video game section, of course. However, I recall certain movie covers that would stand out to me, and which still stick in my brain even today.

One of those movie covers was for The Silence of the Lambs. It was often prominently displayed in the horror section, and the cover scared the crap out of me. As a result, I kind of avoided anything to do with the movie, and even when I finally actually watched the movie this week I still only had a fuzzy picture of what the movie was about, mostly based on pop culture references.

I'm honestly not a horror movie person. That said, I enjoyed The Silence of the Lambs very much. It was not at all what my 7-year-old self imagined it to be.
