Easter Eggs Waiting to Be Found in Thrillers

The Silence of the Lambs is one of the most iconic and thrilling films of our time. From the moment the film begins, you are filled with both intrigue and regret. For real cinema-buffs, this one seems simple, but not all Easter eggs are easy to find for everyone. The movie poster that depicts Jodie Foster’s face with a skull hawkmoth covering her mouth is a dead giveaway. The only thing is… that’s not actually Buffalo Bill’s moth.

If you look close enough, you can see that the skull is actually not a skull at all, rather it is a compilation of three bare women configured in such a way to make it look that way. It is an extremely fitting analogy for the context of the film, which is actually based on a famous photo by Salvador Dali. A pretty creepy analogy if you ask me.
