Which is the best Hannibal Lecter movie? A look at most leaderboards should reveal The Silence of the Lambs at the top position. The 1991 thriller masterpiece starring Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins is definitely a captivating film to watch difficult to escape.
You should definitely give Hannibal, which was released ten years later, a chance. The sequel directed by Ridley Scott often falls under the table, when it comes to Dr. Hannibal Lecter leaves. In fact, there’s a really nasty horror thriller here that really gets under your skin.
Be careful, follow it extremely disturbing images!
Underrated horror thriller: Ridley Scott created by far the most disgusting Hannibal Lecter scene
In the sequel, Hannibal has built a new life for himself in Florence as a curator. Than him one of his previous victims, Mason Verger (Gary Oldman), is discovered and the serial killer has to come to terms with his past. And there’s one important name that shouldn’t be missing: Clarice Starling (Julianne Moore).
There are some drastic moments as the film progresses. By far the most disgusting scene occurs at a banquet at which the government official Paul Krendler (Ray Liotta), who approaches Clarice, is drugged by Hannibal and fed (!!!) with his own brain (!!) while the skull is opened (!) .

This scene really isn’t for the faint of heart. Even for Ridley Scott, who made one of the sci-fi horror films par excellence with Alien, the brain feeding feels again a whole lot more corrupt at. These are images that you can never get out of your head.
