The scariest of them all!
A_Voice2 January 2014
Dr. Hannibal's plans for will are getting cleared and clearer. One thing is for sure, he certainly does not plan to help Will in any way. This episode was probably the scariest of all the 10 episodes. By scary I don't mean gory, it has comparatively lower gory content than the previous episodes, rather its pure Horror.

As Will's condition worsens, Dr. Lector is able to diagnose it as a neurological condition rather than a psychological one, hence he refers Graham to a supposed friend of him, Dr. Sutcliffe, a neurologist. Where as another violent murder takes place in the town.

Dr. Lector obviously knows and understand the threat Will poses to to him. That's why he is either trying to prove him insane, not just in the minds of other, but his own min as well or he is preparing as a pig for slaughter. By driving Will insane and making him believe that he is insane he can make it sure that no one believes him when he does suspect Hannibal. Also it can be speculated that as the lines between Garret Jacob Hobbs and Will Graham divulge, he can be framed for the copycat killers murders, or he might actually end up murdering some one, which seems highly likely. The point is, Hannibal can make Will believe that he is actually Garret Jacob Hobbs, just as Chilton made Gideon believe that he is the Chesapeake Ripper.

The mystery of the killer in this episode is a gripping one until its revealed who was the culprit. The scenes regarding the culprit were very intense and scary, especially the last few minutes. The makeup artists did a pretty good job, and so did the cinematographers. Editing was top notch. It had a look like a movie to it.

Direction: Top notch.

Story/Screenplay: Great.

Acting: Mads and Dancy were great. Others were just fine, fitting their character requirements.

Music: Great and creepy at times.

Overall a nice episode.

It's Rarely About Finding Solutions. It's More About Managing Expectations.

Well we start off this episode with a fairly scary uh....grabbing like straight out of a horror movie. Very Nice.

+1 Star for the beginning hook once again.

Graham and Lecter with another session to discuss Will's slide into the world of cray cray.

Graham continues his descent into a very dark place.

+1 Star for his creepy descent!!!

+1 Star for the mother's quote on mental illness. Truer words.....

+1 Star for the incredibly creepy ending to this episode!!! LOL So awesome.

9/10

Horrorfying imagery!
and_mikkelsen15 April 2024
This is one of the cases that I remember the best from season one, due to how scared i was the first time I saw it!

This episode has a couple og very disturbing moments that just kinda comes out of nowhere! This is of course meant to let us see and feel Will's unstable mind! However the imagery that you see.. is very disturbing, and you barely get any warning for when it happens!

Much like the previous episode, we see how Will is slowly loosing his grip on reality! Its becoming harder and harder to make sense of what is real and what isn't!

We also see how intelligent Hannibal is! He is fully aware of what is happening to Will! This is what he wants, and he keeps puslinge Will, but is clever enough to disguise it as therapy!

Lovely Episode [8.6/10]

My Reaction / Review for Hannibal Season 1 Episode 10: Episode 9 was great and I gave it a rating of 8/10. Something's wrong with Will, his drawing makes no sense. So Will is not suffering from mental illness, he has encephalitis, this sucks. Then why the doctor told him that he is fine? Im confused. Will keeps having blackouts where he doesn't know where he is or what he is doing, I feel bad for him. Seems like Hannibal wants to study Will and he wants to be able to control him and that's why he hides the truth illness that Will suffers from. What happened? Who killed the doctor? Wow Hannibal killed the doctor? Didnt expect that, very brutal. Overall a really good episode, my rating is 8.6/10.

This Episode begins with Beth, she is going to bed. Beth got killed on a cruel way. Will has a session at Hannibal. Will got a brain scan. One side of Will his brain had been inflamed. Will opens the door, Dr. Sutcliffe has been killed on a very brutal way. Did Will kill the doctor? Georgia lays under Will his bed. Hannibal killed Sutcliffe, Georgia saw that. Nice Episode of Hannibal Season 1, the story continues. Will Hannibal being caught for Sutcliffe his murder? Very interesting storyline with Georgia!
