Keith's Horror Show Episode 11: Silence of the Lambs franchise ranking

5th: Hannibal Rising - I didn't really care much for the movie as it was very much a bunch of topics I didn't really want to see explored being explored, sometimes I like the mystery more than the answers and this movie was one such case of a prequel being awful. 4th: Hannibal - Hannibal has it's moments, notably the brain eating scene is fucking horrific and stands out in my mind. But as an actual film, it's just okay. Ridley Scott's direction is fine, but it feels very much like an unnecessary sequel to Silence of the Lambs overall, and that feeling never leaves my mind when watching it. 3rd: Red Dragon - Some fantastic performances across the films, don't get me wrong, but I really liked Red Dragon. But the music, atmosphere and some of the choices of the film's directing just make Manhunter a better film to me, and so in the fight between Manhunter and Red Dragon, I'm very much in the Manhunter camp. 2nd: Manhunter - Like I explained above, both this film and Red Dragon are fantastic, but I think the music and direction of Manhunter makes me enjoy it a bit more than I enjoyed Red Dragon, although both are fantastic films. 1st: Silence of the Lambs - One of my top 10 favorite horror/thriller movies of all time. I know it's not objectively a horror film and more of a thriller, but I adore the atmosphere of the film, Hannibal's performance by Anthony Hopkins is ridiculously good, every actor and actress in this is perfect, ironically there's a few Mister Rogers alumni in this movie which is kinda funny to me. I just adore this movie, I think it's near perfect and a great example of how to make a good serial killer film.
