Red Dragon

A grim, methodical cat-and-mouse procedural that unsettles with quiet menace and sudden cruelty rather than cheap shocks.

Tagline: To understand the origin of evil, you must go back to the beginning.
Overview: Former FBI Agent Will Graham, who was once almost killed by the savage Hannibal 'The Cannibal' Lecter, now has no choice but to face him again, as it seems Lecter is the only one who can help Graham track down a new serial killer.
How it feels: Dark, tense, eerie and melancholic. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Obsession, madness, identity, crime
Content: Strong violence and gore. Mild sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
