"This was a very thrilling and tense show for show with great acting especially from the main lead, John Partridge, who played Hannibal Lecter and who was phenomenal but they were all really good. I wasn’t bored a single second, it was very entertaining and captivated me well, kept me curious and on the edge of my seat. The set was great and it was well produced. The fighting/killing scenes were amazing and the lighting was excellent. Overall, this was a great first experience of Silence of the Lambs for me , it was an incredible, thrilling, one of a kind experience and I give it 5 stars out of 5."
