	Movies - The Silence of the Hams

The Silence of the Hams aka Il Silenzio dei Prosciutti (1994) is a comedy movie directed and written by Ezio Greggio. It is a parody of many horror movies, notably Silence of the Lambs and Psycho
. It can be considered a predecessor to Scary Movie
, although it didn't achieve the same level of publicity or cult status.

Plot

The film follows a rookie detective, played by Zane, who starts his first case. The case involves a serial killer, wanted for over one-hundred and twenty murders. In order to find the killer, he must enlist the help of convicted murderer Dr. Animal Cannibal Pizza. However, during the investigation, his girlfriend, Lily Wine, is asked by her boss to take a large sum of money to the bank. Instead of doing this, she leaves town with the money. While hiding, she decides to rest at the Cemetary Motel, which is later revealed to be a cemetery named Motel after its owner, Antonio Motel. Jo must then enlist the help of Det. Balsam and Dr. Pizza to not only find the murderer, but his missing girlfriend as well. All of this takes the cast on many adventures at the Cemetary Motel until the finale, in which many questions are answered, including questions no one would ask.
