i loved this film, i havnt sat still and refused to leave me seat like this for ages.I decided to buy this film as i love these type of films husband thinks im strange but i love a good serial killer film and horror that has a good story not just a gore feast for 90 mins . if you enjoy a film that has a good story and want to have a night in then if you havnt seen this is a must.I thought this wouold be a let down after silence of the lambs but i was wrong great film well worth a watch

Before Silence of the Lambs came the RED DRAGON! A first and the most terrifying chapter in the Hannibal Lecter Trilogy.
TO UNDERSTAND THE ORIGIN OF EVIL, YOU MUST FIRST GO BACK TO THE BEGINING. This phsycological thriller/Horror will have you puzled and wanting to know more through every minute of the film. Highly recommended as a Film collector.

Hanibal at his best. Not as good as Silence of the Lambs overall but storyline just as good. Silence of the Lambs picks up where this film leaves off, which answers a few questions, like how he was caught and imprisoned in the first place. Very enjoyable (if you like suspense, gore and off screen violence)

Having the other titles on dvd, i was most pleased to come across the missing title, Red Dragon. A prequel to the silence of the lambs starring Edward Norton as a retired F.B.I agent, enlisted to delve into the depraved depths of Dr Lecter's mind. His return to active duty being a chilling assignment which will hopefully result with the capture of a serial killer known only as "The Tooth Fairy"
Antony Hopkin's reprises his role as the deliciously chilling Lecter. Who relishes the fact that his expertise is needed to help crack the case, tormenting as always with tit bits and suggestions, but always falling short of revealing the necessary info needed to connect the dots.
Ralph Fiennes turns in a top performance of a disturbed killer gripped in the midst of maniacal obsession! The way the film is shot it almost feels voyeuristic in parts that you are almost there bearing witness to some pretty gruesome events! A definite must see for any lecter fan guarenteed to keep you glued to your seat!

If you enjoyed Silence of the Lambs this is a must watch. It gives you an insight into the life of Hannibal Lectur leading up to his being caught. I bought it on a recommendation from a friend and I am glad I did.

I am a big fan of Silence of The Lambs, and most definately a fan of Hannibal Lecter. This film was a must to buy to go with my other films about the character. The film came up to the standards of the previous ones..a must see film along with the rest of them
