When rookie FBI agent Clarice Starling, played by Jodie Foster, seeks help from imprisoned cannibal genius Dr. Hannibal Lecter, it’s a psychological game of cat-and-mouse like no other. As she hunts down the brutal serial killer Buffalo Bill, Lecter’s chilling intellect and unsettling charm reveal just as much about her own fears as they do about his taste for fava beans and Chianti. With Anthony Hopkins delivering one of the most iconic and skin-crawling performances in film history, The Silence of the Lambs isn’t just about catching killers—it’s about what happens when you let them inside your mind.
