hannibal-rising012.jpg (39 K) 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 life of Hannibal Lecter – the one that answers the most elusive question of all - why?

"Hannibal Rising" marks the first time in the award-winning series, best selling author Thomas Harris ("Red Dragon," "Silence of the Lambs") writes the screenplay – reaching back to explore the origins of Lecter's rage, terror and savagery.— More here

Hannibal Rising is a bloody good time!
Staci Layne Wilson
Horror.com
If you liked Hannibal, you cannot go wrong with the latest chapter in the canny cannibal's oeuvres.

Risible results
Michael Rechtshaffen
Hollywood Reporter
The fifth (and hopefully final) stop on the Lecter circuit, "Hannibal Rising" attempts to show the man behind the muzzle by delving into his formative years -- with risible results.

No probing insights
Anna Smith
BBC
A straightforward revenge drama with added gore, Hannibal Rising is worth a watch out of curiosity, but don't expect it to give you deep, probing insights into the psychology of everyone's favourite cannibal...

I'm undecided whether this story belongs in a film compendium or a recipe file.
Phil Vettel
Chicago Tribune
Lecter is presented as a soul-dead vigilante who reserves his carnage for the truly deserving; that's a long way from the Lecter of Silence of the Lambs who kills and tortures innocent and guilty alike.
