The Silence of the Hams is a 1994 comedy-horror film that spoofs famous horror movies, including The Silence of the Lambs, Psycho, and Friday the 13th. The film is directed by Ezio Greggio and stars him in the lead role as FBI agent Joe Dee Foster. Joining him in the cast are Dom DeLuise, Mel Brooks, and Billy Zane.
The plot follows Joe Dee Foster as he investigates a series of bizarre murders committed by a mysterious serial killer known as "The Elevator Killer". To catch the killer, Joe Dee enlists the help of Dr. Animal Cannibal Pizza (played by Dom DeLuise), a Hannibal Lecter-like character who is currently serving a prison sentence for cannibalism.
As Joe Dee and Dr. Animal work together to uncover the identity of the killer, they encounter a wide range of eccentric characters, including a fashion designer with a secret, a crazy puppeteer, and a maniacal chef with a taste for human meat.
Throughout the film, the characters engage in outrageous and hilarious antics, including a wild car chase through Rome, an epic battle between Joe Dee and an army of puppets, and a tense showdown with the killer himself.
In addition to its parody of popular horror movies, The Silence of the Hams also features nods to classic comedies like The Pink Panther and Airplane!, making it a fun and entertaining watch for fans of both genres.
