The Silence of the Lambs Limited Edition Blu-ray Image 1

Arrow Video

Following an early career directing low-budget exploitation movies for producer Roger Corman, by the 1990s, Jonathan Demme was known best for making quirky comedies (Something Wild, Married to the Mob) and music documentaries (Stop Making Sense) - that is, until he signed on to adapt Thomas Harris' best-selling thriller The Silence of the Lambs. The resulting film - a sombre, enthralling nightmare vision of psychopathology - became a five-time Academy Award® winner and made cannibal mastermind Hannibal Lecter a household name.

FBI agent Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster, The Accused) races against time to stop a serial killer, nicknamed "Buffalo Bill" (Ted Levine, Heat), before he kills again. To solve the case, she risks her own sanity by consulting with malevolent psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins, Nixon). A master manipulator, the sinister Dr Lecter offers crucial information that may be key to unlocking the killer's identity - but at a price. Clarice must open primal events from her past to Lecter's menacing curiosity and confront the trauma that fuels her search for justice.

A deeply disturbing examination of human evil, The Silence of the Lambs changed the face of the serial killer genre and remains a highly influential, landmark classic of mystery, suspense and psychological horror.

Oh, and Arrow, just one more thing: love your Bluray!

It had been some considerable time since had watched this stone cold classic. It still packs a punch and makes my skin crawl. I noticed Arrow had given this milestone a handsome limited edition presentation and bought myself a copy. It's remarkable to compare the HD version and this sublime 4k transfer. I notice there's a new depth in the soundtrack as well, particularly in the gun range scene which actually made me jump due to the gun blast's concussive strength. The picture is beautiful. I cannot fault it. The extras are also very nice indeed. The interviews with the director and Jodie Foster are revealing and entertaining. And if this wasn't enough there's a Dr. Hannibal Lecter ansaphone message if you fancy it. This film won 5 Oscars, 71 other wins and 50 nominations in total. Arrow have superbly preserved this masterpiece with an edition worthy for your collection. This is a perfect release of a perfect film. Don't dawdle. It won't be around forever.
