Edge of your Seat Blog
The last film I watched that left me sitting mere inches from the end of my seat was the terrifying “Silence of the Lambs.” The scene that always gets me is right near the very end when Clarice has discovered Buffalo Bills whereabouts but all the police are at the wrong location. When Buffalo Bill cuts the lights and wears his night vision goggles I always think, she’s so going to get capped by this guy! Yet, somehow, after a minute or two of Bill just watching Clarice in the dark, she hears him cock his gun and she fires a killing shot. Definitely a horrific moment in cinematic history. I like to put myself mentally in the situations of the movie and try to imagine what that would be like to be there. I have to say, Buffalo Bill’s basement – the basement of a man who takes pleasure from torturing and skinning young women – is probably the last place I’d want to find myself alone.
