Silence of the Lambs One star maximum

Academy Award winner.  We saw it and didn't like it when it came out so thought we'd give it another go.  No go.  It has high production values, which imparts to its tawdry plot an unearned high seriousness.  This is really a Roger Corman film.  One other thing.  Both of us thought that the character was based on a real murderer--again, because of the "seriousness" of the whole endeavor. But no, it's all fiction . . . ghoulish fiction.  We hooked it after one hour.  No more tries for this one
