The Silence of the Lambs (1991) • From the Vault • Why It Still Gets Under Your Skin

Join Darryl as he revisits The Silence of the Lambs, the 1991 psychological thriller from Jonathan Demme, in this From the Vault look at Jodie Foster's face off with Anthony Hopkins' Hannibal Lecter, and whether one of the most decorated thrillers ever made still holds up more than three decades later. This episode contains full spoilers. In this review, Darryl shares why Anthony Hopkins' restraint makes Hannibal Lecter one of the most unsettling villains ever put on screen, how Jodie Foster's quiet determination gives Clarice her own kind of power, and why he can't get over the fact that Ted Levine went on to play the lovable Captain Stottlemeyer in Monk.
