Red Dragon/Hannibal (DVD)

BEWARE THE RED DRAGON - HANNIBAL'S BACK

Advantages: Hannibal Lecter is as creepy as ever
Disadvantages: Too "hannibalised"

Outing number three for one of cinema’s greatest anti-heroes is in actual fact set chronologically before the other two. Further to the phenomenal worldwide success of The Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal, and in the absence of anything new from Thomas Harris, Hollywood turned its attention to his first Hannibal Lecter novel, Red Dragon. Originally made into a film in 1986, the first version was actually released under the name Manhunter and was critically acclaimed long before the success of Silence of the Lambs. The new version of Red Dragon sticks fairly respectfully to the original, but has been updated in such a way to create broader appeal within modern cinema audiences. If I had to use one word to describe how the film had changed, then I would say that it had been “hannibalised”. Will Graham is an FBI ...

ROSE RED 2002

Advantages: Creepy, Large, Mysterious and a story that must be told.
Disadvantages: It was rather long!

SYNOPSIS = Dr. Joyce Reardon, a psychology professor, leads a team of six psychics into an isolated mansion known as Rose Red. Her efforts resurrected the spirit of former owner Ellen Rimbauer and soon, the discovery of the horrifying secrets of those who lived and died there. Never be alone, as the house is forever changing and growing. An exit may be there for one minute and the next minute may be gone... REVIEW = As much of a horror film fan, I am not always keen on Stephen King's materials. I often find them too slow and the ending seems to be weak at times. However, I thought I will give 'Rose Red' a try as I love movies about haunting houses (being a big fan of 'Most Haunted'). The duration of the film was approximately 4 hours long.
