Re: Silence Of The Lambs V.S. The Exorcist
i voted the excorcist, because its the originality here, it was the beginning of it all, excorcism of a normal child hit by a demonic force and what comes after is pure horror, fear, dread, call it whatever u like, while silence of the lambs is a totally different thing, it s a crime thriller that goes really deep into human subconscious and even doesn t feel dated after 30 years of release, a classic but has nothing to do with the excorcist, two totally different movie genres

Weird how The Silence of the Lambs is considered "horror", yet Manhunter is seen as a thriller. I guess it's the way those films were directed because the story of Manhunter is more horrifying than The Silence of the Lambs, if anything.

I read the Thomas Harris novels & agree that Jame Gumb isn't as scary as Dollarhyde (sorry Ralph Fiennes couldn't Act 6 inches of height and another 100 lbs of muscle on himself in Red Dragon), but both are but rays of light compared to Lecters sun. I would consider Red Dragon/Manhunter horror too, like "smart" horror, and true stories of serial killers horror too. That would be True Crime/Horror, right? Just like flicks categorized Drama/Comedy, etc... |
Re: Silence Of The Lambs V.S. The Exorcist
These are both special films. Very difficult to pick between them given how different they are. On the slimmest of margins I’ll go silence although I have seen the exorcist recently and it’s as close to perfect a film I have seen which is also how I would describe silence.

Very mean of the original poster to pit these agaisnt each other.

Re: Silence Of The Lambs V.S. The Exorcist
I picked Silence of The Lambs but I don't really have a reason. Is like making me choose between lasagna or pizza.

Re: Silence Of The Lambs V.S. The Exorcist
I think people consider The Silence of the Lambs "horror" because Hannibal Lecter comes off as a movie monster. He's the only fantastical element in this crime thriller setting.

Didn’t Hannibal have his chops with peas on the side?

I think its fair to compare the 2 to each other, not like its Caddyshack V.S. Saving Private Ryan lol! |
I always compare Silence to Se7en and The Exorcist to The Shining. Anyway, I voted Exorcist but both 5/5.
|
Re: Silence Of The Lambs V.S. The Exorcist
Both are good but I like The Exorcist a lot more (one of the few 5/5 films for me).

1 SOTL 2 The Exorcist 3 Se7en 4 The Shining |
Re: Silence Of The Lambs V.S. The Exorcist
I always compare The Exorcist to Carrie, but I guess The Shining is similar enough to compare as well.
