The first Feast is from project greenlight. It's actually a lot of fun but I haven't seen it in a number of years. I recommend it for It's absurdity and gore. Never saw Piranha DD though. Zero interest.

I realized that Panic Room was the Silence of the Lambs sequel that we deserved. Think about it! Clarice is trapped in the panic room while Hannibal is trying to get her. It becomes a reverse of the original movie, because now Clarice is the one imprisoned!
