The Silence of the Lambs at Revival House Perth
Enter the chilling world of Jonathan Demme's masterful 1991 psychological thriller that redefined the horror genre through intelligence and restraint rather than gore and shock. When the FBI needs insight into the mind of serial killer "Buffalo Bill," they turn to an unlikely source - the brilliant but dangerous Dr. Hannibal Lecter, imprisoned for his own horrific crimes.
Jodie Foster delivers a powerhouse performance as Clarice Starling, a determined FBI trainee who must navigate the psychological cat-and-mouse games of the sophisticated cannibal to save an innocent life. Anthony Hopkins creates one of cinema's most unforgettable villains in Dr. Lecter - cultured, intelligent, and terrifyingly perceptive.
Demme's precise direction creates an atmosphere of mounting dread through intimate close-ups and unsettling silences, making every conversation between Starling and Lecter a battle of wits with life-and-death stakes. The film's exploration of predator and prey, power and vulnerability, creates genuine psychological tension that lingers long after the credits roll.
Based on Thomas Harris's acclaimed novel, this is sophisticated horror that respects its audience's intelligence while delivering genuine scares through character development and masterful storytelling.
Winner of Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Adapted Screenplay - only the third film to sweep the major categories.
Presented on authentic 35mm film for the true cinematic experience!
When: Thursday, September 18th at 7:45 PM
Where: Revival House Perth
Rating: MA15+ - Strong psychological themes, violence and disturbing content
A genuinely unsettling masterpiece that proves the most frightening monsters are often the most human - essential viewing for those brave enough to have Clarice.
