Anthony Heald had a challenge when playing Dr. Frederick Chilton in "The Silence of the Lambs" — he had to make his character less likable than not one but two serial killers. In a testament to his talent, he succeeded.
From his first scene, Chilton oozes more slime than a Devonian swamp. When he makes a pass at an uninterested Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster), director Jonathan Demme frames him staring right back at the camera so we can feel Clarice's same unease. He simultaneously aggrandizes and underestimates Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), speaking of him like a caged animal yet declaring himself the not-so-good doctor's "nemesis."
Chilton's glory-chasing ultimately gives Lecter an opening to escape. Chilton flees to Bahamas but his former prisoners finds him all the same. Lecter, chatting to Agent Starling on the phone as he watches Chilton, bids Clarice farewell with a double entendre for the ages: he has...

The best horror film of the 1990s and perhaps the only serial killer picture post- Psycho that can stand on equal terms with Hitchcock’s classic, Jonathan Demme and Ted Tally’s adaptation of the Thomas Harris novel is a standout experience in every way. Not all 4K Ultra HD encodings are worth crowing about but this one is — the added visual detail and especially the contrast range really make a difference. Kino offers a good selection of extras as well, including a teaser trailer I haven’t seen for years and a fine Tim Lucas commentary.

It’s been some time since I saw a thriller like Alone – one that was actually as thrilling as it promised. Alone delivers on every single level. It is tense, oh my god, it’s tense. It has you on the edge of your seat from the moment events begin. I was hugely impressed by director John Hyams work here, showing a level of mastery and restrainant in never going for the cheap jump and always letting the tension marinate making this a psychological juggernaut. The performances are outrageously good with an eerie menacing script at times. The cinematography is simply divine, so much so that there are shots in this movie that actually took me by surprise!

‘The Secrets We Keep’, ‘The Nest’, ‘The Way I See It’ And ‘Alone’ Bring Life To Specialty Box Office
The majority of the specialty box office has shifted to virtual debut, streaming and digital-only since theaters have shuttered due to the pandemic, but as physical theaters begin to open their doors, titles have returned to the big screen, slowly pumping life into the long-dormant specialty space.
Bleecker Street’s post-wwii thriller The Secrets We Keep opened September 16 and played in 471 theaters this weekend to the tune of $89,955 with a per-theater average of $191. Its five-day total amounted to a strong $114,722. Directed by Yuval Adler, the film stars Noomi Rapace as a woman who kidnaps a man (Joel Kinnaman) who she thinks committed war crimes and killed her sister, keeping him prisoner in her suburban home. The film is slated to hit VOD on October 16.
IFC Films’ Sundance pic The Nest starring Jude Law and Carrie Coon debuted in 301 theaters across the country, banking an estimated $62,000 with a per-theater average of $206. The film,...

Unpleasantly effective “Alone” centers on a heroine who wishes she were just that; instead, she’s got insistent, unwanted company in the form of a probable serial killer. John Hyams’ U.S. remake of a not-particularly-well-regarded 2011 Swedish thriller is an apparent improvement in all departments, with the original’s reported plausibility issues and other flaws subsumed in what emerges a tense, muscular suspense exercise.
After playing the Fantasia Festival’s virtual edition, it gets released by Magnet to theaters and on demand Sept. 18. With its compellingly simple narrative of automotive pursuit and wilderness survival, this is a scary movie especially suited to the surprise resurgence of drive-ins.
Jessica (Jules Willcox) is introduced loading a small U-Haul trailer with her possessions before driving out of Portland, seemingly for good. It takes a while before we learn that she’s leaving in the wake of a grave personal tragedy that’s referenced but not really explained.

They’ll get their fill in Stephen Sommers’ Cuisinart blending of Titanic, Aliens and Die Hard.

"Believe me, you don't want Hannibal Lecter inside your head." BFI has debuted a trailer for their restored re-release of the serial killer thriller classic The Silence of the Lambs. First released in early 1991, the movie went on to win Best Picture at the Oscars, as well as Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director and Best Screenplay. The BFI is re-releasing it as part of their "thriller season" this fall, and will play it in cinemas around the UK. No word on a Us re-release, but it doesn't seem like anything is in the works. The Silence of the Lambs stars Jodie Foster as a young FBI agent who tries to work with the iconic serial killer Hannibal Lecter, played by Anthony Hopkins, to hunt and find a murderer named Buffalo Bill. The cast includes Scott Glenn, Anthony Heald, Kasi Lemmons, and Frankie Faison. This film was such a huge success it inspired 3 sequels,...

As part of Deadline's coverage of The Silence of the Lambs' 25th anniversary, the site has published an extended interview with director Jonathan Demme, screenwriter Ted Tally and Robert Bookman, the agent who brokered the deal that brought Thomas Harris's bestselling novel to the big screen. In a previous piece, screenwriter Ted Tally revealed/reminded us that Gene Hackman had originally intended to write, direct and potentially play the role of Hannibal Lecter; this time around, the tidbit that caught my attention was the fact that the film's ending -- which in the finished film sees Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) stalking Frederick Chilton (Anthony Heald) through an island in the Bahamas -- was considerably darker in the original script. From the Deadline story: "The Silence of the Lambs ends when Hannibal Lecter, from a payphone in the tropics, congratulates FBI Academy graduate Clarice Starling and gently warns her not to hunt him,...

3.12 The Number Of The Beast Is 666
This week’s episode, The Number of the Beast Is 666, is a tragedy. But I mean that generically, not emotionally.
Let’s face it. Dr. Frederick Chilton is a classical tragic figure. That is, he meets all the characteristics of Aristotle’s description of that character. The purported father of tragedy described the tragic hero as being defined by five things: a tragic flaw (or error in judgement), a reversal of fortune caused by that flaw, recognition that his own actions led to his fall, excessive pride or hubris, and a fate out of proportion with the error committed.
Dr. Chilton’s flaw, of course, is that, despite the fact that he is essentially the greatest of second-rate minds, Hannibal has...

Bradley Cooper took a bow alongside his costars for the first preview curtain call for Broadway’s The Elephant Man at the Booth Theatre on Friday.
Bradley Cooper In 'The Elephant Man'
In The Elephant Man, Cooper plays the main character John, based off of the late 19th century sideshow performer Joseph Merrick, who suffered from severe deformities. Instead of donning prosthetics or makeup, Cooper transforms into the part by contorting his clean-shaven face and using breathing techniques.
“For me, it just starts with the breath and then it sort of just happens,” the actor said during a Today show appearance.
Landing the lead in The Elephant Man has been something of a career-long dream for the 39-year-old actor. David Lynch’s 1980 film, starring John Hurt inspired Cooper to become an actor.
“It was the reason why I wanted to become an actor, because of David Lynch’s movie,...

The synergy between playwrights and actors is well-demonstrated in the Second Stage Theatre revival of Terrence McNally's 1991 comedy-drama Lips Together, Teeth Apart, but not in a good way. McNally wrote the work especially for its original performers — Nathan Lane, Christine Baranski and Anthony Heald, with Swoosie Kurtz replacing an intended Kathy Bates — and that estimable ensemble knocked it out of the park. This current production features a talented cast including America Ferrera (Ugly Betty) and Tracee Chimo, who wowed in the recent off-Broadway hit Bad Jews. But they fail to live up to their illustrious

10. Videodrome (1983) directed by David Cronenberg
In David Cronenberg’s world, sex hurts so good; it’s innately disgusting and primeval but at the same time beautiful and becoming. (Kind of like sex in the real world, when you think about it.) Bodies degenerate and mental states corrode under the influence of lust, and yet something new is engendered by the collision of bodies, bodily fluids, the ripping of flesh and the mangling of organs. Through the carrion of ugly comes the attractive flesh, the new flesh. Videodrome, as Jonathan Lethem once quipped, remains Cronenberg’s most penetrative film; he creates a world at once rooted in modernity circa 1983–a world afraid of the advent of television usurping our humanity, over-stimulated times ushering in the end times–and existing in a timeless, placeless vacuum. It’s vast and claustrophobic, prescient and paranoid, of the same lineage as early James Cameron...

So I’m not exactly sure what to make of this week’s episode of Hannibal, Entrée.
Thus far, the show has done an excellent job of keeping us guessing. We know Hannibal will turn out bad, so the question instead becomes: how and when (and maybe why) does this happen?

Now that TV fans have a chance to invite Hannibal Lecter into their homes every week, we thought you might appreciate a little head's up on what to expect from the not-so-good Dr. Lecter.
NBC's "Hannibal" got off to a so-so start in last week's ratings, but critics have been kind and Zap2it readers were overwhelmingly supportive in our series premiere poll. There are already signs a cult following may be building around this unique take on an iconic character from film and literature, as redefined for television by idiosyncratic showrunner Bryan Fuller ("Pushing Daisies," "Wonderfalls").
The next few episodes will be critical to deciding the series' fate (Will the audience shrink or grow? And will NBC order a second season?). So, to whet your appetite, we've prepared a few tasty teasers from the four additional episodes NBC made available to the press.

As we get down to the number four entry on the list, we find one of the few horror films that the critics enjoyed as much as the fans. It's not often that true horrorphiles and starchy movie critics look at a film and both nod their heads and say, "Yeah, that's the stuff."
But with The Silence of the Lambs, that was exactly the case.
#4-The Silence of the Lambs
"I do wish we could chat longer, but…I'm having an old friend for dinner. Bye."
That was the perfect ending line for the most critically-acclaimed horror film of all time. The film's list of accolades includes five Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Actor (which Anthony Hopkins won, despite being on the screen for only about 16 minutes of the two-hour film), Jodie Foster took Best Actress, Jonathan Demme was Best Director and the film also won Best Adapted Screenplay.

David E. Kelley has one of the most singular voices in TV today -- it usually only takes a minute or less to realize you're watching one of his shows, and medical drama "Monday Mornings" is no exception.
Kelley used to be one of the biggest showrunners in network TV. After collecting a boatload of Emmys for "Picket Fences," he went on to create hits in "Chicago Hope," "Ally McBeal" and "The Practice." He also had a few high-profile flops, but it wasn't until the consecutive cancellations of "Boston Legal" and "Harry's Law" -- both victims of their older-skewing demographics -- and a futile attempt to get a "Wonder Woman" pilot off the ground, that it made sense for Kelley to test the waters of cable TV.

A key character in the "Hannibal" universe has been cast, and as has been the case with several other roles in the upcoming show, it's being played by yet another alumnus of a previous Bryan Fuller series. Read on for the details.
Per TVLine, Broadway vet Raul Esparza (My Soul to Take) will appear in at least two episodes of NBC’s contemporary Hannibal Lecter series in the key role of Dr. Chilton. The character was originated on the big screen by actor Benjamin Hendrickson in 1986′s Manhunter, and Anthony Heald took over the role of Lecter’s infamous jailer in The Silence of the Lambs and Red Dragon.
Like the previously announced Caroline Dhavernas, Molly Shannon, Chelan Simons, Ellen Greene, and Gina Torres, Esparza previously worked with exec producer Fuller: He played traveling salesman Alfredo Aldarisio in Fuller’s "Pushing Daisies."

So sang the hosiery-clad vixens of smash hit musical Chicago. Of course, they were referring to the many men they had brutally murdered, whereas I'm responsible for the deaths of no one on this list. But it's an appropriate introduction to a run-down of movie characters who, for one reason or another, really did bring their own cinematic demise on themselves.
Undoubtedly some of the 10 deserved their deaths more than the others. But as I've watched each of them shuffle off this mortal coil, either shaking my head in sorrow or slapping my thigh in triumph, I've been compelled to declare on each occasion, "Well, they asked for that."

A slick, state-of-the-art monster movie with a cool cast but hack dialogue, providing plenty of laughs to go with the mayhem, Hollywood Pictures' "Deep Rising" could be the new year's first sizable hit if audiences jump aboard for another spectacle set on an ill-fated luxury liner.
"Die Hard"-meets-"Alien"-meets-"Titanic" in writer-director Stephen Sommers' wide-screen chiller starring the rugged Treat Williams and an eclectic lineup of supporting players including Anthony Heald, Wes Studi, Djimon Hounsou, Famke Janssen and Kevin J. O'Connor.
With Jerry Goldsmith's robust score setting the tone, "Deep Rising" teases one with information about the 40,000-foot-deep trenches in the South China Sea and the many reported disappearances in the area throughout history. Could it be there's a fearsome sea monster to blame?
Speeding along in his small, fast boat, mercenary smuggler and good-guy Finnegan (Williams) and his long-suffering crew and surly passengers are destined to find out just how deadly and untidy the creature can be. Finnegan's party, a gang of gun-happy bad-asses led by Hanover (Studi), intends to loot the huge cruise ship Argonautica after its computer programs are deliberately erased by an on-board collaborator (Heald).
Along with the tension brought on by all the macho men in a confined space, erupting briefly into violence against Finnegan's whiny but likable mechanic (O'Connor), the group is unknowingly headed toward a ghost ship. In a terrific sequence, the Argonautica is struck by something big causing destruction and death like a major earthquake.
What happens next to one panicked passenger sitting on a toilet is a bit gratuitous and sophomoric, but there's much more to come. What do you expect from a movie with a nasty tentacle that "drinks" its victims? Horribly gross is one way to describe the truly ghoulish bits, but they can be howlingly entertaining.
Providing some relief from the steady elimination of Studi's men (Trevor Goddard, Clifton Powell, Hounsou, Jason Flemyng) in inventively gory ways is the subplot involving a professional thief (Janssen), who is spared when most passengers are gobbled up and joins Finnegan in trying to escape.
With elaborate production design by Holger Gross ("Stargate") and inspired cinematography by Howard Atherton, "Deep Rising" is an expensive-looking production, but more effort could have been put into the script. Williams, Janssen and O'Connor come off looking good, but Studi and Heald are too easily upstaged.
The special effects are solid throughout, with kudos to the crack team of special makeup and creature designer Rob Bottin, visual effects supervisor Mike Shea and mechanical effects coordinator Darrell Pritchett. Credit also goes to all the imaginative folks at Dream Quest Images, Industrial Light & Magic and Banned From the Ranch.

Williams, Janssen and O'Connor come off looking good, but Studi and Heald are too easily upstaged.
The special effects are solid throughout, with kudos to the crack team of special makeup and creature designer Rob Bottin, visual effects supervisor Mike Shea and mechanical effects coordinator Darrell Pritchett. Credit also goes to all the imaginative folks at Dream Quest Images, Industrial Light & Magic and Banned From the Ranch.
