Synopsis:
Set before the events of The Silence of the Lambs, a retired FBI agent, responsible for the undoing of Hannibal the Cannibal, now enlists the serial killer in an attempt to find a new serial killer that has dubbed himself the red Dragon.
A very simlar premise to that of The Silence of the Lambs but still keeps itself fresh by throwing in new situations and structure built by the iconic Hannibal character in the 1991 classic. The religious tropes make for an interesting and more mysterious narrative as well as the incorporation of a far more active and and threatening villain add a sense of real danger to the protagonist. A strong cast and a strong film, if not slightly overshadowed by the original outing.
Rating:
★★★★
