The Silence of the Lambs finally done right

Posted by Victor Khomenko (M) on January 17, 2013 at 06:29:15

I never liked the Silence, always considered it pretentious, with ridiculous, cheap and silly over-the-top acting, unworthy of the caliber of Hopkins... but hey, this was Hollywood, so expunge all traces of subtlety and true thrill, replace by stardom and overblown production... that was the name of the game, and it obviously succeeded at the box office.

But things can always be done better, and it fell on the German director Christian Alvart to do it.

And what a true marvel he produced! His "Antibodies" truly delivers.

The inspiration is clear, but the execution is several notches better, with the result actually being suspenseful, unlike the original.

An excellent thriller.

Petersen was good in "Leaving LA." He's okay in "Manhunter." nt - tinear 17:23:22 01/17/13 (3)
