Examining the remains scene.
A scene in Silence of the Lambs looks a lot like this one. Don't know if it was influenced by it but I'm reminded of it.
What sells the scene is not the quick shot of gore that we see. It's all Dreyfuss. If he was a bad actor, the scene would have landed flat.
Even this scene has a funny bit in it. Hooper is expecting to see a body bag and gets presented with a small bin with the remains in it. His reaction is pretty danged funny.
