    Thread. Will be updated as needed. I hold the following horror movie takes to be true: 1. Final Dest is the most consistent franchise. 2. The best films from the major franchises are Dream Warriors & Hellraiser 2. 3. Alien is horror. 4. Silence of the Lambs is horror. 5. Terminator is a slasher.

    ANTHONY HOPKINS is on screen for only16 minutes but gives such a superb performance that he somehow dominates the entire movie. THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1991) Apparently he studied spiders & snakes in order to master that unblinking, predatory gaze that captivates Agent Starling.

    I knew trans people existed in 1991 because of a little film called The Crying Game, another little film called Silence of the Lambs, and a movie where the trans character is literally the main punchline, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.
