For anyone who has read the novels and seen Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal is a 'must see' The plot is not as gripping as Silence of the Lambs but the acting of Sir Anthony Hopkins was once again first rate and certainly worthy of an Ocsar nomination.
Hannibal lacks the shear terror that an audience was likely to feel in Silence of the Lambs, but still it does not disapoint in the gruesum stakes. The part very near the end of the film where Dr Lector carefully peels back the scalp of his low intellect friend Paul, is etremley chilling for thiose who do not like gore.
Hannibal has to be rated among one of the best films and egarly anticipated films to be released for several years. Great direction, excellent screen play and the film certainly does the book justice apart from one part where Dr Lector is being hunted down in an amusment park. That seems very out of place.
