/* ----- VIDEO INFORMATION ----- */

Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show, I'm your host Paul and this video we're breaking down Silence Of The Lambs.

-

Arguably the best psychological horror thriller of all time this best picture winner has had a long lasting legacy.

Throughout this video I wanna go through the movie and talk about the creepy hidden details that you might have missed. Peeling back the skin of this movie actually revealed a lot of hidden things and some deeper symbolism that makes it even more terrifying.

Now the film is of course based on the book of the same name which I re-read for this breakdown. It offers a couple of extra insights to the characters that make them even more sinister than what we see on screen.

Though the film is packed with them the first creepy detail I wanna talk about's in the poster. Voted by Premiere as being the 16th greatest movie poster ever made it has a subliminal image within it. If we zoom in on the pattern on the moth's head we can see that these are women arranged to look like a human skull. This is actually Salvador Dali's In Voluptas Mors and it plays into the themes of the film.

Buffalo Bills is fascinated with Moths and Butterflies, especially their transformation.

Bill wants to become a woman and thus women being on the Death Head moth has a deeper layer to it.

This Death Head marking is also a reference to Edgar Allan Poe's The Gold Bug. The bug in that story is supposed to signify change and redemption with the character Legrand believing that it's gonna alter his life for the better.
