The ensemble is a disappointment, though some truly
hardcore horror fans will like a few of the casing choices, such as B -
movie scream queen Barbara Crampton (Body Double, Re-Animator) as the mother, schlock writer / director / actor Larry Fessenden (Habit, The Last Winter) as one of the first victims, and director Ti West (Drinking Buddies, Silver Bullets) as one of the significant others.
Hardcore genre
fans can debate whether The Silence of the Lambs is a legitimate
horror movie — it's really a mixture of the crime thriller and the serial - killer character drama, if we're going to nitpick.
