“The Silence of the Lambs,” directed by Jonathan Demme in 1991, is a film based on the novel of the same name by Thomas Harris, published in 1988. This psychological thriller marked a turning point in the portrayal of the genre on the big screen, blending elements of suspense, horror, and drama into a gripping and deeply disturbing plot.
Loosely inspired by the Salem witch trials, this horror film by Rob Zombie stands out primarily for its particularly evocative visual style, immersed in a dreamlike reality, blending blasphemous imagery, psychological horror with elements of occultism, witchcraft, possession, and ancient rites.

The film’s plot is set 200 years after the events of “Alien³”. Ripley, the character played by Sigourney Weaver, has been cloned and brought back to life to extract the alien that was inside her body. However, things take an unexpected turn when it is discovered that the military wants to use the aliens for warfare.
After escaping from the planet LV-426 with a group of survivors, Ripley crashes her escape pod onto the planet Fiorina 161, a remote and desolate place serving as a penal colony. Here, Ripley discovers she is the only survivor from the crew and that an alien has managed to infiltrate her pod.

The story unfolds primarily inside an apartment. Here, after purchasing an ancient Zuni fetish doll, Amelia discovers that the object is cursed and contains an evil spirit. The statue comes to life and begins tormenting her, literally trapping her inside her apartment.
