“Buffalo Bill, a serial killer is on the hunt. The FBI send a cadet to get info from another serial killer and things go awry.” – Carnage’s Five Second Summary
Clarice Starling is a cadet with the FBI. And because they have failed on their own, the big wigs at the FBI put her into play with Hannibal Lector, noted psychiatrist, serial killer and cannibal. They believe her feminine wiles and down home sweetness and accent will appeal to Lecter better than their suits did. Instead, it is her honesty, tenacity, smarts — and let’s be truthful, a damn bit of good luck — that help crack the case of Buffalo Bill.
Through finding a dead body in an old storage garage, to attending an autopsy of the latest skinned victim of Bill with an interesting moth residing in its throat, Clarice definitely has her work cut out for her with these two game-playing serial killers. Will she find the last victim before it is too late?
At only 5’3, Jodie Foster still manages to bring a presence to Clarice Starling that goes to toe with her male allies and antagonists. With five Oscar wins, including one for the chilling performance from Sir Anthony Hopkins, this movie is not to miss.
