Horror Film – If you thought ‘Annabelle’ or ‘The Conjuring’ sent shivers down your spine, then you probably haven’t seen Hollywood’s true masterpiece yet. About 35 years ago, a film was released that redefined the very definition of fear. This film wasn’t about ghosts or spirits, but rather the dark corners of the human mind, a story so chilling it would make even the bravest tremble. We’re talking about the timeless 1991 film ‘The Silence of the Lambs’.
A Box Office Bloodbath
The film was so popular that it broke all records after its release. You’ll be surprised to know that the film earned 15 times its budget. Its popularity was so immense that it spawned a sequel, two prequels, and even two TV shows. Usually, horror or thriller films don’t get much attention from critics, but this film stole the show at the Oscars. It won the five most prestigious Academy Awards, known as the ‘Big Five’:
Best Picture
Best Director (Jonathan Demme)
Best Actor (Anthony Hopkins)
Best Actress (Jodie Foster)
Best Adapted Screenplay
What is the film’s spine-chilling story?
The film’s story is based on the famous novel by Thomas Harris. It follows a young FBI trainee, Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster), who is trying to catch a serial killer named ‘Buffalo Bill’ who skins his female victims.
To catch this killer, Clarice has to seek help from another dangerous criminal—Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins). Hannibal is no ordinary criminal, but a highly intelligent psychiatrist who is a cannibal. The mind games he plays with Clarice while sitting behind bars are the heart and soul of this film.
