The Hannibal Lecter Collection Blu-ray, Video Quality

  3.5 of 5

Manhunter
Rating: 3.5/5

Manhunter arrives on Blu-ray with a somewhat strong MPEG-4 1080p, 2.35:1-framed transfer. The transfer features consistently heavy grain, blacks that occasionally crush detail, several scratches and spots, and a somewhat flat appearance, but it nevertheless delivers an image that, on the whole, appears suitably rendered on Blu-ray. Graham's venture into the wooded area behind the murdered family's home in chapter five reveals a nice bit of texture and fine detail on tree trunks and the surrounding foliage. Otherwise, detail is generally underwhelming but not deficient. Faces occasionally look unnaturally smooth; however, it's not likely a result of digital manipulation but seemingly more a stylistic intent and inherent to the source. Speaking of, flesh tones sometimes take on a slightly ghastly appearance. Colors range from bright and bold to somewhat muted. Manhunter's image quality won't be confused for The International, but more often than not it looks suitably good, all things considered.

The Silence of the Lambs
Rating: 3.5/5

The Silence of the Lambs finally debuts on Blu-ray with an MPEG-2 encoded 1080p high definition transfer, presented inside a 1.85:1 frame. The image is fairly grainy, and black backgrounds generally see a spike in the level of visible noise. The film has a bleak, depressed look about it through much of the runtime, setting the tone for the feel of the film and the grisly characters that inhabit it. Colors, too, are slightly dulled in some scenes but a bit brighter in others. They are always stable and strong and never too harsh and overblown or underdeveloped. Fine detail is adequate but not stunning. The rough textures of Lecter's cell walls and the pit where Bill keeps his victims are fairly well defined, but there are no earth-shattering levels of fine detail seen here. Other objects look better under the right conditions, a tape recorder and several drawings seen in Lecter's Tennessee holding cell, for example, offer higher levels of visible detail than do those in darker, danker, grimier locales. Flesh tones look good throughout. Blacks, aside from seeing a rather heavy level of noise, are dark but not always deep and inky, and there is occasionally a slight loss of fine detail in the darker corners of the image. The Silence of the Lambs offers a bland visual style that will never sparkle on any format, and it is reproduced fairly well on this Blu-ray release.

Hannibal
Rating: 3/5

Hannibal is served up on Blu-ray with a decent MPEG-2, 1080p, 1.85:1-framed transfer. Aside from some heavy edge enhancement accompanying a few shots, Hannibal looks fine but mostly unremarkable. Fine detail is never all that impressive; building façades in the Florence segments, for example, tend to look flat and without much attention to small textures. There are a few scattered instances where visible detail creeps past the mundane, but ultimately, Hannibal simply doesn't go the extra mile. Colors are neither bold nor drab; they find a suitable middle ground in most every scene, whether in bright outdoor shots or more muted, shadowy, and otherwise darkened interiors. Black levels never stray towards an unnatural shade of gray, and flesh tones retain a natural tone. All told, Hannibal's transfer is much like the quality of the movie itself: suitable but unremarkable.


The Hannibal Lecter Collection Blu-ray, Audio Quality

  3.5 of 5

Manhunter
Rating: 3/5

Featuring a DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack, Manhunter's audio presentation is decidedly front-heavy and loud. Most of the music throughout plays at borderline thunderous volume at reference level. However, it lacks the absolute clarity associated with the finest of soundtracks. Moreover, Manhunter sounds tight; several musical cues and sound effects feel cramped as they flow from the center channel. A good example is one of the film's opening scenes as Crawford coaxes Graham into returning to the FBI. Speaking seaside, the gentle crashing waves seem condensed and focused straight up the middle rather than spilling over into the sides for a more realistic and robust presentation. Several gunshots as heard at the end of the film are appropriately loud but somewhat muddled. The track does open up a bit at times for a more spacious-sounding presentation, but the back channels are used only sparingly throughout. Though dialogue reproduction is never an issue, Manhunter's lossless soundtrack isn't among the best of the best to be heard on the Blu-ray format.

The Silence of the Lambs
Rating: 3.5/5

The Silence of the Lambs chews into Blu-ray with a stable but not overly impressive DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack. Music and effects sound slightly rough around the edges and somewhat undefined; the tussle in the prison after Starling's first meeting with Lecter, for example, features a ruckus from the prisoners who rattle their cages and beds while shouting obscenities, but it's never all that clear and pitch-perfectly defined in its presentation. Gunshots, heard primarily during training sessions at Quantico, are loud enough but seemingly lacking in the utmost clarity. Some sound effects move around the front of the soundstage with decent precision and clarity, speeding vehicles for example, which make for a bit of a reprieve from what is otherwise a front-heavy and dialogue-centric audio experience. In a film like The Silence of the Lambs, the audio presentation is meant to do little more than reinforce the story, and it does so admirably here. It's fine where it counts, offering strong dialogue reproduction, decent sound effects, and appropriately-placed and clearly-presented musical cues. None of it will push a sound system to its limits, but many viewers will likely be too enthralled in the story to notice what is a fairly lackluster sound presentation, though one that seems to stay in line with filmmaker intent.

Hannibal
Rating: 3.5/5

Like the other two films in the set, Hannibal features a DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack. The shootout as heard early in the film delivers a nicely-realized, full-blown sonic experience. Gunshots erupt from every corner of the listening area, and the impact of bullets on both solid objects and flesh deliver a head-turning sensation. Likewise, several car crashes in the sequence deliver a fair amount of power through the low end. Otherwise, this soundtrack sticks to the basics, delivering a suitably clear, distortion-free, and a moderately high quality presentation of music and sound effects. Atmospherics are generally heard across the front. The back channels are used sparingly once the film moves past the more action-oriented opening segment. Dialogue delivery is crisp and natural. Certainly not the sort of track to impress friends or wake the neighbors, Hannibal's lossless offering nevertheless gets the job done in suitably efficient fashion.
