Hannibal, now living in Italy posing as a an art scholar, and already hiding from the FBI and the families of his victims, is now being setup by a former patient of his. A patient who he convinced to cut off he own face and feed it to the dogs, using Clarice Starling as bait, he intends to lure Lecter out of hiding and play out his revenge.
With Ridley Scott at the Helm of this thriller, Hannibal is, despite its slow pace is an effective movie, that at times succeeds in shocking and disgusting its viewing public, with some horrific imagery that with the help of your imagination makes you feel sick to the stomach.
Critised by many people, i ask you to remember this, Silence of the lambs is a tough act to follow and Hannibal manages to it follow it, without losing too much of the atmosphere and tension in the original. Yes, Lambs is better, but that doesn't make this a bad movie.
7/10
