Manhunter directed by Michael Mann is still the better film version of this book. You should definitely check it out!

Robert Cooper

You need to add "Manhunter" to the list, too

Mike FromOz

OMG what is this thumbnail? 😂

I like this movie, but I prefer Manhunter (1986) An earlier movie based on the same book. I can't entirely quantify why, seeing it first may be a factor but it has a different, very 80's vibe. I find it more rewatchable if that makes sense. It often gets forgotten as a Hannibal Lecter movie as it predated Silence of the Lambs and has a different cast and production.

jmundt33a

I vastly prefer this to Manhunter, but it should be seen. It’s the Miami Vice take on the story. The look, the cast, the director. The complete grotesquerie of the villain.

Emptysea93

If you want to see the prequel to this, try Hannibal the TV show. It follows younger Will Graham as a profiler who begins to work with younger Hannibal to solve cases while Hannibal begins his prolific career.

jmundt33a

Also, remember bite mark evidence is completely discredited now.

jmundt33a

Brian Cox originated Lecter, William Petersen for Will Graham, Kim Griest for Mrs. Graham, Dennis Farina for Jack Crawford, and John Polito for the tabloid reporter.

Christopher Feiertag

Simply watch the TV-show “Hannibal” and you get precisely what you ask for. 😉

jmundt33a

Disagree, but it is well made and cast.

Actuarial Lurker

The grandmother is the Red Dragon in his mind...Ed Norton is brilliant in how he reads the scrap book and saves his family by taking on the Grandmother's scolding voice

Actuarial Lurker

Great trick at the end where the smarmy coworker is the body in the fire and DollarHyde goes to Florida

jmundt33a

One should note, the antihero thing (at least onscreen) is practically all the invention of the film Hannibal. All of his kills there are framed as the “free range rude” as Barney reminds the audience, and all the ones he goes through with onscreen are considerably worse than that. Venal, corrupt, greedy, lecherous, despicable. It changed how the character was seen and understood. Which is probably what prompted the Hannibal Rising nonsense and sparked the muse for a complete reframing of Lecter and Will’s relationship in the tv show Hannibal. If that quote is right, Hopkins was signaling 1. No sequels to Hannibal. That story was over when that film faded to black. 2. He was trying to course correct popular culture that was somehow subsuming one of the greatest villains in cinema history into a trope now often called Draco in Leather Pants. Possibly the single creepiest instance until Adam Driver of the 2010s and only truly outdone by Netflix very recently.

Great show. Unbelievable that a show that fucked and gruesome was on network TV.

Stugotz

you guys should definitely watch the Hannibal series at some point. Especially if you want more insight into Hannbial Lecter before he was caught.

Dwight Scarn

Also should have had George rocking the Lecter pony tail lol

CJGardner

Agree so much. Gruesome yes totally, but also one of the most aesthetically beautiful and stunning tv shows I've ever seen. Compelling, fascinating, mind-bending, gorgeous, and yep, super freaking gruesome. On Nbc no less! And only 3 short (12 ep) seasons, so it's a great candidate to watch for Patreon.

Dwight Scarn

Time to watch Dexter and Hannibal TV show! :)

Matthew Wabals

Man hunter please its great and Super 80’s

RE: The old phone. It's pulse dialing. Essentially you're just manually recreating what a rotary phone does. You can still do it on some phone exchanges in the US today. We played around with it in tech school. It's a pain in the a**; you have to remember the number you're dialing, the number of times you've just hit the switch, and get the pauses between numbers right.

tullius cicero

this is a great and horrifying book btw! Good narrator on audible too

AC10

Hot damn.... Just when I needed something to watch... ANTHONY HOPKINS IS LEGENDARY!!! 😄😄😄

akaTheBAY-AY-RON

The Coppertone Baby meets "See? Do you SEE?" for the thumbnail, love it!

Bookwormy

More proof you need to watch the Hannibal NBC series. Please.

Elroy

You guys should watch born again !

AC10

I wanna eat it... I wanna taste it... I wanna touch it with my tongue... (whispering) (Let me touch it) 🤤

2026-09-05 05:00 You asked about him working with Hannibal, that’s the plot of the Hannibal tv show

paul rai

You guys should check out Anthony Hopkins’s instagram. It’s mainly him dancing to salsa music, traveling the world, playing the piano, or playing with his cats. It’s super adorable and it’ll help distinguish how different he is from the Hannibal Lecter persona.

2026-09-05 05:00 I knew this day would come, but I'm still sad that it's here. Firefly finally got replaced on the Patreon exclusive graphic. :'( It was my first Patreon watch-along.

Came to recommend this. The first 2 seasons are immaculate IMO. Great cast, performances, production value. The 3rd season is also really good but I am very partial to those first 2 and it is a huge bummer we didn't get more. Mads Mikkelsen in the role of Hannibal was inspired.

Simon Pegged Me

It's a good short with a reasonably short run. It'd be worth watching for a reaction.

REDR58

My grandmother had a pulse/dial phone for years and even got a converter installed so the old phone would properly work with the then-new tone lines. She just loved that phone.

Jason Tomerlin

i'm shocked that it seems like you both don't have at least more then 1-2 screens... the way Simone was telling/describing to George that her hair is super poofy today.... you know if you both have multi screens you both could set up where you both can be able to see each other on an extra screen/monitor. js yall have been doing this for how many years now and you both don't have a triple/quad screen/monitor Computer set up yet.

Cinebinge

That's not quite correct Jason. We both have dual monitors, always have. You may even notice at times we look off screen, its not us staring at the wall, its us checking OBS and writing notes on the other screen. The reason we dont see eachother is due to network speed as Simone lives in a very rural area deep in the woods, so having camera feed stream out and receiving feeds back in would cause significant lag, resulting in our conversation having major delays.

Jason Tomerlin

if anything i view Edward Norton's Character is more like the T.V Series "Crossing Jordan" Character "Dr. Jordan Cavanaugh" played by Actress Jill Hennessy...which in the series it shows where her retired Homicide Police detective father while he was still in service and working active cases late at night he would play a mental mind game called Victim and Killer with her as a young child due to her being very intelligent at a young age...the mind game Victim-Killer is where each would mentally visually place themselves as the Victim and killer or killers and rapidly bounce multiple types of Actions and motives and Multiple types of weapons until finally everything Perfectly falls into place and the light bulb lights up and the killer is shown... Victim-killer in the show is viewed as a dark morbid and dangerous mental game...depending on the stability of a person's mental state. Where if it's weak and heavily damaged the person could easily end up braking and end up becoming an actual killer....i really wish they would bring back Crossing Jordan

Jason Tomerlin

ah okay yeah that sounds reasonable...sorry for the comment and thanks for the reply

Jimi Hart

George and Simone should consider watching Funny Games 2007 (Horror/Crime), Disturbia 2007 (Crime/Thriller) staring Shia Leboeuf, and Primer 2004 (indie/sci fi) … these would make for great reaction videos! 🙏

Aaron Stinson

Manhunter (1986) is a must watch.

Dan Holmes

Anthony Hopkins' normal speaking voice is beautiful :) Please watch more of his work he is incredible in literally everything :) If you haven't seen the first season of Westworld you 100% should react to that on here, just the first season though, it is a completed story.

Daniel Bartelt

Like others have said please watch the Hannibal series! I think you would really enjoy it!

Dan Holmes

Simone would literally implode during Funny Games lol Disturbia she could handle maybe haha

James Falato

Loved Your Reactions to This Prequel... Story-Telling like this shows that "Less is More" works well with Horrific Themes... This Film has Me think of You as "CineCringe"...

jmundt33a

You don’t wanna know how many of those actors are dead now.

Funkachute

Pleeeeeaaase watch the Hannibal series! And also Manhunter

michael denny

hannibal rising shows why hannibal is hannibal

Ashton Lewis

If you want the origins of Hannibal then you should watch "Hannibal Rising", like the fellow below this comment mentioned. If you want to see the relationship between Will Graham and Hannibal, then you should watch the "Hannibal" series. I think both are great, the series especially. It would be great to see both of your reactions to those, and the "Hannibal" film, which has a certain great actor in it that is so unrecognisable that I didn't know he was even in it until years later. Letss goooooooooo
