Rhyming names are never good signs



Title: Hannibal Rising

Release Date: 2007

Summary:
As a prequel to Red Dragon, Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal, this film follows our favorite cannibal, Hannibal Lecter during his youth. Every bad guy needs a tragic past and Hannibal is no different. Growing up under the trauma of his sister's death, Hannibal devotes himself to finding and killing (and eating) his sister's murderer. Eventually he even travels to Saskatoon, Canada (of ALL places!!) =u=bb

Commentary:
As a super fanatic fan of older Hannibal (Anthony Hopkins for the win!! v), I think this is my only opinion on this film: Hannibal has a major sister-complex. As bishonen as actor, Gaspard Ulliel (<-strange name, cute guy) was, even his face couldn't make up for the rushed plot line or the lack of real horror to the story. D':
