Hannibal Rising

fava beans and a nice chianti.” This is a quote from the movie “Silence of the Lambs” (1991) which is one of the greatest horror movies of all time. This quote in particular is the most chilling of all lines in the movie because it shows how insane Hannibal Lecter really is, not on an intellectual level but a barbaric one. The Silence of the Lambs and Edgar Allan Poe had very similar styles in their literary use. In the three stories “The Tell-Tale Heart”, “The Black Cat”, and “The Cask of Amontillado”

The Silence Of the Lambs artfully engages its audience with the reality of the plot. Throughout the film the audience is met with two very contrasting characters; Doctor Hannibal Lecter, an imprisoned cannibal psychiatrist, and Clarice Starling an FBI agent who is haunted by her past. Clarice Starling must use the help on Hannibal Lecter to catch Buffalo Bill, a serial killer who abducts women, and mends their skin into body suits for himself. While the search for Buffalo Bill is happening, Clarice

"Okay." Will sighed, burying his hands back into the jacket. It would be cold down in the subway, and though it would be a relief from the wind, he knew it'd be warmer in Hannibal's car. "I live in Brooklyn." he added, another warning, but Hannibal only nodded, clearly pleased he'd accepted the offer. "Allow me to lead the way." Hannibal's car was nicer than Will had expected. It was a sleek, spotless black bentley, the interior smelling of leather and pine. Will slid into the passenger seat

It always amazes me in slasher films that no one in a small rural area has a gun to protect themselves and if they do it’s always in the hands of someone who acts like he’s too scared to shoot the person that is trying to kill them. The Strangers: Prey at Night is about a family going to visit their aunt and uncle’s trailer park before sending their bitchy rebellious to boarding school so she can learn how to properly smoke a cigarette. While at the trailer park, they run into a trio of killers known

This week I watched the first episode of Mindhunter. This show takes place in the late 1970’s and it follows a young FBI agent, Holden Ford. He works in the hostage negotiation department and teaches classes about it to students in the agency. He struggles with keeping the attention of his students, as they don’t find value in what he has to say. After Holden personally encounters a hostage situation where a man takes off his clothes and claims that he is invisible, his interest is sparked. He wants

Jose Rangel Lourdes Heuer ENC1102 06/02/16 The Perfect Murder One could say that there is no perfect murder but that is not what holds true when it comes to “Lamb of the Slaughter” The story of the woman who murders her husband with a frozen leg of lamb and then has the murder weapon eaten by the detectives is one of the most famous examples of the “perfect crime” story. In “A Jury of Her Peers” the women are no different; they stick together and struggle with the knowledge they have to decide

Waking up before the rising sun on the morning of the hunt left me feeling groggy with my eyes slow to open and close when blinking. Being extra quiet to not wake up my mother was a main challenge, trying to tippy toe around the cabin and dodging the creaky spots in the floor. Prior to eating breakfast, I began getting dressed. Due to the fact that I was in northern Minnesota, the weather was bone chilling and the wind would seep right through your layers onto your unexpecting skin. Once I had put

Trappe woke with a start before sunrise, focusing his eyes on the shapes of the distant hills as they emerged from the darkness. He felt a chill from the open rear window of the station wagon and turned to Curtis, still asleep beside him. “Curtis, wake up,” he whispered, followed by a “shushing” sound as he put his index finger to his lips. Curtis’ eyes fluttered open. “It’s time. Follow me,” Trappe said in a low voice as he finished lacing up his boots and grabbed his jean jacket. He figured
