FPSY-8135: Criminal Behavior
Psychopathy in the Movies
In 1991, Anthony Hopkins stars in Silence of the Lamb. The psychological horror the
silence of the lamb (Demme 1991) depicts Hopkins as a murderous cannibalistic serial killer
named Dr. Hannibal Lector. Deciphering Dr. Lector’s characteristics that could be considered
criminal rest on the idea that silence of the lamb had been filmed inside of a criminal institution
where Dr. Lector uses manipulation, charm, intelligence, absence of nervousness, coldblooded
aggressiveness, relentless persistence, and other psychopathic characteristics to capture the
attention of an FBI trainee Clarice Starling. Dr. Lector demonstrates the slightest remorse of
guilt for his victims, as evidenced in his first meeting with Clarice, Dr. Lector brags about eating
another individual kidney over fava beans. Although betrayed as an intelligent person, Dr. Lector
satisfies his own personal needs by enticing Clarice with stories on his ability to savagely murder
and eat others therefore betraying a multitude of criminal behaviors (Demme 1991).
Dr. Lector is portrayed as a psychiatrist who demonstrated psychopathic traits to lure in
his victims before murdering them. Through the utilization of Cleckley-Hare diagnostic criteria
for Psychopathy (PCL-R) and Hares Psychopathy Checklist (PCL-22) Dr. Lector meets 17 of 22
variables present for the (PCL-22) 8 of 8 for (PCL-R) Factor 1: aggressive narcissism, and 7of
10 for (PCL-R) Factor 2; socially deviant lifestyle. Using a 2-point scale for both (PCL-22) and
(PCL-R) factor 1 and factor 2 Dr. Lector meets the criteria on all three scales for psychopathy
pathological lying, conning, lack of remorse or guilt, lack of emotional depth, poor behavioral
