Hannibal

Ten years later, the sequel to the incredible film Silence of the Lambs has been released. Hannibal was originally given an MA15+ rating in Australia, but after public outcry about the amount of gore and grotesqueness (* is that a word? *), the rating was upgraded to R, restricting it to audieces 18 years and older. My advice - ignore all the media attention, and go and see the movie for yourself. This is big-budget horror at its best. Anthony Hopkins is brilliant as always, and Julianne Moore acts as an adequate substitute for Jodie Foster in the role of Clarice (although she doesn't really get the accent right).


Rating: 8 out of 10
