Yes. It's a slower burn, but in my opinion it's a much more scary take on Hannibal than Anthony Hopkins over-the-top performance. Brian Cox plays Hannibal as a very methodical, intelligent, and insightful villain.

Don't get me wrong, Silence of the Lambs is phenomenal. But Hopkins' Lecter is a comic book villain compared to Cox's believable performance of a highly organized and intelligent serial killer.
