A triple bill of Hannibal Lecter films. 'Red Dragon' (2002) is Hannibal Lecter's (Anthony Hopkins) third film outing but is based on the first Thomas Harris novel which introduced the character. FBI agent Will Graham (Edward Norton) has retired with his family to Florida after a near-death experience when he tracked down and captured Lecter. However, when a new serial killer, 'the tooth fairy' who kills whole families, is discovered, Graham finds himself back on the force and asking for Lecter's help. But the tooth fairy has been writing to Lecter and Lecter cannot resist playing each side off each other, to such an extent that Graham's family are to be the next victims. In 'The Silence of the Lambs' (1990) FBI officer Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) is investigating a bizarre and gruesome series of murders, carried out by 'Buffalo Bill'. The investigation steps up a gear when the mayor's daughter is abducted. Starling turns for help to incarcerated psychopath Lecter (Hopkins), who has a penchant for chewing people's faces off. Given special privileges in exchange for information, Lecter escapes, leaving two twisted killers on the loose. Whilst in 'Hannibal' (2001) it is ten years since the events of the previous film and FBI agent Clarice Starling (Julianne Moore), recently in trouble with her superiors over a bungled shoot-out, suddenly receives a letter from the escaped Hannibal. It does not reveal his whereabouts, but after many years of inactivity, it does announce his interest in returning to the public domain. Clarice has the letter analysed and begins scanning the internet, desperately searching for any clues which will help her reach him before he strikes again. Meanwhile, one of Hannibal's previous victims, the horribly disfigured multi-millionaire Mason Verger, is also on the trail of his tormentor, eager for revenge and the chance to introduce the good doctor to his herd of specially-cultivated carnivorous pigs.

All 3 movies work in the U.S.
After reading many reviews I was unsure what came in this set and if they would work in the United States. All 3 films, Red Dragon, The Silence of the Lambs, and Hannibal are presented in 1080p and don't appear to be bootlegged in any way. I watched all 3 on my ps4 and had no issue. The only difference I've noticed is the cases. They are as thick as a standard dvd case, but are still short like a standard blu ray in the U.S. In addition the case and blu ray disc are marked with the U.K. rating as apposed to our standard PG13 and R. I always wanted to get these 3 on blu ray and am quite happy this set.

Arrived Exactly As Advertised
I was nervous about about buying this because it's from a vendor that I've never heard of, had very few reviews, has the wrong actors listed and they aren't Region 1 disks (I live in the U.S.). This trilogy set just happens to be the only real one that has all three Anthony Hopkins versions with it though so I really wanted to get it. Having read one of the reviews below stating that it truly is region free and will definitely play in a U.S. blu-ray player and seeing that this is one of the only vendors that have their orders fulfilled by Amazon itself, I decided to take the risk and I'm glad that I did. It came exactly as advertised and truly is region free (I have a Playstation 3) and it worked like a charm. If you are a fan of the Hannibal series of stories then despite whatever misgivings you may have, like I did, I would recommend putting them aside and purchasing this. You won't be disappointed.

Worth it, and works in the US!
Excellent collection. I'm in the US and can confirm these work fine on my PS3 - I tested a random scene from each disc. All 3 movies come with a ton of special features,and they each came in their own normal standalone case, with a box to put all 3 in for display. Really happy with this!

This is the real deal.
Saw a lot of concerns in other reviews that these would be cheap or not work properly. The Blu Ray discs I received were in three sturdy blue plastic cases which all fit together into a nice cardboard sleeve. The picture/sound quality and functionality of the discs are exactly what you would expect from any Blu Ray product. They worked just fine even though my Blu Ray player is at least 10 years old, maybe more, I can't even remember how long I've had it, but these discs played perfectly.
