Now that they've seen The Silence of the Lambs, Roxy & Andrew RETURN for the sequel to give their Hannibal Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis & Full Movie Spoiler Review!!

Roxy Striar & Andrew Gordon sink their teeth into Hannibal (2001), the intense horror thriller and sequel to The Silence of the Lambs, directed by Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Alien) and based on the novel by Thomas Harris. Anthony Hopkins reprises his Oscar-winning role as the brilliant yet monstrous Dr. Hannibal Lecter, while Julianne Moore (Boogie Nights, Still Alice) steps into the shoes of FBI Agent Clarice Starling, now hardened and disgraced after a botched drug raid.

The story picks up a decade after Lecter's escape, as Clarice is drawn back into his orbit when a disfigured, vengeful billionaire named Mason Verger—played hauntingly by Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy)—plots to lure and kill Lecter as revenge for a past encounter. Ray Liotta (Goodfellas, Narc) appears as Justice Department official Paul Krendler, whose grotesque fate in one of the film’s most infamous and highly searched scenes—the brain dinner sequence—remains a shocking highlight.

Set across Florence, Italy, and the U.S., the film explores dark themes of obsession, power, and retribution, backed by a haunting score from Hans Zimmer and lush, eerie cinematography. With its stylish violence, operatic tone, and controversial finale, Hannibal pushed the boundaries of the franchise and left audiences divided and disturbed. Roxy & Andrew dive into its most iconic moments, character dynamics, and legacy as one of the most polarizing sequels in horror history.
