Anthony Hopkins returns as charismatic cannibal Dr Hannibal Lecter in the prequel to Silence of the Lambs.
Red Dragon, which promises to explore the "origins of evil", is a suspense thriller.
FBI Agent Will Graham (Ed Norton) asks for the help of Lecter in catching a family-slaying serial killer - "The Tooth Fairy".
This Bret Ratner flick contains some very disturbing images, which are powerfully constructed, leaving many wide-eyed and stunned and the cast's convincing performance compensates flaws in the story line which strongly mimics Silence.
This autumn chiller is surprisingly gripping and worth watching.
Red Dragon opens tomorrow. MC
