Reimagine The Silence of the Lambs title sequence as a psychological prelude, immersing viewers in its tension and unease before the story unfolds.

Approach
Using fragmented typography, distorted imagery, and layered textures, the sequence mirrors scattered memories and subconscious fears. Light and shadow slice through the visuals, distorting the line between hunter and prey. Every frame feels deliberate yet unsettling, echoing Clarice’s psychological descent. Rather than a simple introduction, this sequence builds an atmosphere of manipulation and danger, pulling viewers deep into the film’s unsettling world before it even begins.
