The Hannibal Lecter Collection Giftset (3-DVD) R

No movie villain has stirred so many to such heights of fear. He is Hannibal Lecter, the brilliant psychiatrist with a taste for the finer things in life... and the macabre in death. Gathered here for the first time ever are the three films that make up the entirety of Hannibal's life story thus far. Featuring a stunning array of Hollywood talent in front of and behind the camera - including Joan Allen, Brian Cox, Jonathan Demme, Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins, Ray Liotta, Julianne Moore, Michael Mann, Gary Oldman, William Petersen, Ridley Scott and more - this triple helping of Hannibal is one you should never let get away.

Manhunter (1986, 120 mins.): William Petersen, Joan Allen and Stephen Lang star in this "eerie, very intense" (New York), "dark locomotive of a film" (Los Angeles Times) that first introduced the world to the cunning, unforgettable serial killer named Hannibal.

The Silence Of The Lambs (1991, 118 mins.): Winner of five Oscars including Best Picture and Director, this "spellbinding" (The Hollywood Reporter) and "nerve-frying" (The New York Observer) masterpiece stars Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins in superb, Oscar-winning performances.

Hannibal (2001, 131 mins.): The silence has been broken... Anthony Hopkins returns as pure "perverse perfection" and Julianne Moore "emerges triumphant" (Rolling Stone) in this "audacious" (US Weekly) and "thrilling" (Time) follow-up to the Oscar-winning The Silence Of The Lambs.
