Synopsis

Landline

A stranded military sergeant receives eerie calls from an old landline, each guiding him to save his pregnant wife from a relentless killer—only to watch her die again and again in a nightmarish loop.

The Silence of the Lambs

Clarice Starling is a top student at the FBI's training academy. Jack Crawford wants Clarice to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant psychiatrist who is also a violent psychopath, serving life behind bars for various acts of murder and cannibalism. Crawford believes that Lecter may have insight into a case and that Starling, as an attractive young woman, may be just the bait to draw him out.
