Review of Hannibal Rising (2007) by Elliot D — 15 Apr 2009
A massive disappointment. I think that Hannibal Rising is the second worst Hannibal film there as been and after the big success of Hannibal and The Silence of the Lambs I was really looking forward to seeing this film and when I watched this on DVD I was really disappointed.
Hannibal Rising they say is the most chilling chapter in the life of Hannibal Lecter and I have to say I wouldn't agree with this and the film itself is about aAfter the death of his parents during World War II, young Hannibal Lecter moves in with his beautiful aunt and begins plotting revenge on the barbarians responsible for his sister's death.
Hannibal Rising stars Aaran Thomas,Gaspard Ulliel,Helena Lia Tachovska,Ivan Marevich,Li Gong and also Rhys Ifans. I have to say I do like the tagline for this film which is "It Started With Revenge".
I have to say I thought the book of Hannibal Rising which was by Thomas Harris and as the same title as the film was better than the film. a disappointing film from director Peter Webber.
