Silence of the Lambs Reaction, Recap, Commentary, & Review!! Roxy Striar & Andrew Gordon sit down for their first-time reaction to The Silence of the Lambs, one of the most iconic psychological thrillers in cinema history. Directed by Jonathan Demme (Philadelphia, Rachel Getting Married) and based on the novel by Thomas Harris, the film follows FBI trainee Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster – Taxi Driver, Panic Room, Contact) as she seeks the help of the brilliant yet terrifying Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins – The Father, The Two Popes, Westworld) to catch the elusive serial killer Buffalo Bill (Ted Levine – Monk, The Fast and the Furious). This reaction dives deep into unforgettable moments like the chilling “I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti” scene, Hannibal’s eerie first meeting with Clarice Starling, “Well, hello Clarice” (a line forever etched in pop culture), Clarice’s intense interview sessions with Hannibal Lecter, Buffalo Bill’s disturbing transformation scenes including “It puts the lotion on its skin” and “Put the lotion in the basket!” plus the terrifying night vision climax that remains one of the most suspenseful endings in cinema history. The film also stars Scott Glenn (The Bourne Ultimatum, The Leftovers) as Jack Crawford, and Brooke Smith (Grey’s Anatomy, Interstellar) as Catherine Martin. The Silence of the Lambs stands as a cornerstone in the Hannibal Lecter franchise, which includes Manhunter, Hannibal, Red Dragon, Hannibal Rising, and the acclaimed TV series Hannibal starring Mads Mikkelsen. This reaction comes as part of our growing exploration of legendary films and continues our coverage of the most influential thrillers.
