Product Description:
In Red Dragon we learned who he was. In Silence of the Lambs we learned how he did it. Now comes the most chilling chapter in the saga of Hannibal Lecter the one that answers the most elusive question of all why? Written by Thomas Harris the best-selling author of the Hannibal book series this fascinating and terrifying journey into the making of a monster (Pete Hammond Maxim) reveals for the first time the metamorphosis of a brilliant medical student into Hannibal the Cannibal. Good Morning America s Joel Siegel says if you can keep your eyes open you re going to get scared. Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: HORROR UPC: 796019802413 Manufacturer No: 80241

Though Hannibal Rising's Lecter (Gaspard Ulliel) is a pussycat compared to Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs, this sequel's story of revenge is grizzly enough to satisfy lovers of Thomas Harris's epic tale. After young Hannibal (Aaron Thomas) is forced to watch his little sister, Mischa (Helena Lia Tachovska), devoured by starving soldiers in his homeland Lithuania, Hannibal vows to avenge his sister's death by slaying those who committed not only war crimes against the Lecters, but also against other families during WW II. In detailing Hannibal's revenge plan, the film investigates the psychological implications of witnessing cannibalism to justify Hannibal's insatiable appetite for human flesh. The most interesting aspect of Hannibal Rising—its analytical connections drawn between Hannibal's childhood traumas and his murderous adult obsessions—is also the film's weak point. The links oversimplify Lecter's complex character. For example, though titillating to see flashbacks of Lecter's sister hacked up and boiled while Lecter visits a Parisian meat market, the reference is too obvious. One learns why he excels in his medical school classes dissecting cadavers, and we're given explicit explanation for why he slices off and eats his victims' cheeks. The story only complicates when Hannibal interacts with his sexy Aunt, Lady Murasaki (Gong Li). When Murasaki educates him in the art of beheading, the viewer sees Hannibal's sword fetish as a manifestation of physical lust. --Trinie Dalton

What a load of distasteful rot! But let's put aside the feeble main lead, the idiotic pantomime villains and the tedious, sick and overly-drawn out plot...
What I want to know is this... why was there a crescendo of build-up to the 'dramatic' moment when the young Lecter pulls on a face mask for the first time?? I thought in the original film, when Hannibal's all grown up and the world knows what a monster he is, the mask is what the prison guards put on him to stop him biting people! ... Read More

I am a HUGE fan of the Hannibal movies. SOTL is my favorite movie of all time and I can quote lines with the best of them. This movie...I don't know, doesn't it seem like...more could have been done with it? Admittedly, I did not read the book.
Look, there is a REASON that no major young star would touch the role. Do you think this kid was the first one offered the part? Please. When you have a franchise that successful, and then another one comes out with no major stars...you KNOW ... Read More

The book was perfect, the film is even more perfect than perfect. It is exactly what we could have dreamed of. The story is the absolute logical explanation of the previous volumes about Hannibal Lecter and we cannot think of one detail in these earlier volumes that is not the direct consequence of what happens in this later volume that tells the infancy, teenage and youth of Hannibal Lecter. What makes it so fascinatingly believable is that this period of his life is situated in Lithuania during the ... Read More

This young actor is good but nobody compares to Anthony Hopkins. Also I wish it covered more into how he became a cannibal. Yes I know it had to do with his sister being cannibalized but besides that didn't go deep into his pathology. Also In the book Hannibal raising, Hannibal is portrayed as vary intelligent at a young age where his mother takes him to a psychologist who he outwits would have liked to see that in the movie. It's a shame could have been a lot better, but also a lot worse. I enjoyed it ... Read More
