Anthony Hopkins loved this part so much, that whenever there was a showing of this movie in his area, he would go over to watch, and scare someone in the audience by tapping them on the shoulder or saying Hi, at the scary parts.
if that's true i LOVE it!!!
That's funny. You know those PSA's they have in the movie theater before a movie starts and Hopkins plays Alfred Hitchcock? The one where he warns the movie theater audience to turn off their cell phones? I always thought it'd be better if they had Hopkins play Hannibal Lecter and he says, "If you do not turn off your cell phones...I will have you for dinner!" (CUT TO: LOUD SCREAMS)
That only happened once, and he didn't go to the theater with the intention of doing that. It just worked out that way.
@@BlunderMunchkin He said he did it again during a rerelease, while visiting a friend.
Hahaha heh.. hahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂....if he did that in my theater....I would die laughing....if he did that to me.... I'd shit in my pants
Anthony Hopkins did such an amazing job as Hannibal that he won the Oscar for best lead actor despite being on screen for only 16 minutes.
Not only that, this movie came out after the deadline in the 1991 Oscars, so it had to wait over a year to be nominated in 1992
Reminds of me Jack Nicholson being nominated (don’t think he won but may have) for A Few Good Men (for a couple days of work and like 10 mins of screen time). Or Judy Dench winning for Shakespeare in Love despite (i think it was ) 6 minutes of screen time.
It's the second modern 'horror' film to win an Oscar. Misery was the first.
He did a fantastic job, but Mads Mikkelson still did it better and became the definitive Lecter..
@@redgear666 It actually came out on Valentine's Day (Feb 14) that year... go figure! Perfect date movie!
That reveal of Clarice at the door is probably my favorite cut in a movie ever. The whole world kind of stops for a moment
Fun fact, the decision was not written, but was made in editing when the editor was trying to shorten the film, and saw an opportunity to do it in a creative way. Seem to remember the director saying he wish he'd thought of it from the get-go. Originally he tells Clarice to go investigate her lead while they go storm the other suspect's house. There was supposed to be the continuous dread of dramatic irony instead of a twist, but the tension of the reveal is much better.
The surprising thing is that Hannibal and Clarice are in only 4 scenes together, and yet they are at the heart of the storytelling...
They are the memorable scenes
Meatier
Fun fact: Jodie Foster said while making the film she tried to avoid Hopkins as much as possible because he was “really scary.” On the last day of filming she told him that and Hopkins’ response was “I was scared of YOU!” 🤣
he was welsh......they hunt sheep, naked, across the black mountains.of Powys. although tbh sheep gut pie is very tasty.
That's a weird coincidence, because just yesterday I was binge watching The X-Files, and one of them was a story where Jodie Foster played the voice of an evil tattoo, and she was fucking awesome!
Skully was based off Clarice from this film.
@@jbrisby YO! Way to bring it back #Xfiles. That was one of my fav Eps
This film won the big 5 Oscars - picture, actress, actor, director, and screenwriting. Well deserved.
One of only three films to have done so; "It Happened One Night" (1934) and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1975) are the other two.
It's still terrible that Ted Levine didn't win, for his acting as Buffalo Bill
For me, the most amazing scene is Jodie Foster's performance in the "night vision" view. The lights were on and she was pretending not to be able to see in a way that is SO convincing.
After the movie released in theaters, Anthony Hopkins (Lecter) went to a showing shortly after the movie had begun. In the darkness, he settled down in the second row on the aisle behind a woman. When the picture ended, he leaned around to the woman and asked her, in his Hannibal voice, if she enjoyed the film. Needless to say, the woman had the reaction you’d expect.
"The world's more interesting with you in it." I've always liked that he called her to basically inform her that he had no plans on hunting her down. She likely would have had a lot of sleepless nights worrying about him coming for her. He respected her enough to want her to be at ease.
She already knew he wouldn't come for her. She says so. Something like, "It's hard to explain. He would consider it rude."
More of that in the sequel (even though it's a diff actress)
Pretty considerate. You don't see that much in cannibal circles.
@@dublinfool25 Wouldn't imagine you're too popular in cannibal circles Geoff.... If you're the Geoff Peterson I'm thinking of anyway!
@@mattp6089 Not a lot of meat on robot skeletons
Lecter likes Clarice. He respects her on some level as she's not afraid of him and never used him or their interactions for her own gain, just to try to save the girl. He wasn't going to kill Clarice, he had no reason to.
Also She’s really polite, I can’t remember if it’s this one or red dragon but at some point he mentions that he only eats rude people
@@vanessastaysnerdy9676 it was definitely in the book of Silence. He convinced Multiple Miggs to kill himself because he was “unbearably rude”.
@@WoodrowsRandomReviews yes! Thank you!
yea she is really polite, like in her soul, he would consider it unbearably rude to kill Clarice and eat her
He likes her enough to be in a relationship with her. That book was fucking stupid.
"Never felt more violated by a finger.. grazing."
Quick save there. 😂
If you think Lecter would so much as hurt a hair on Starling's head, you haven't been paying attention at all.
He would think it was rude.
@@DerrickMims And the rude get eaten...
She was really lost in this movie
Depends how you define "hurt". Have you read all three of the books ?
He only injected her with hypnotic drugs and turned her into a cannibal, that's all.
I really love how Lecter isn't even in 15% of this movie, and yet leaves such an amazing presence.
Only like 15 minutes of screen time, but his is definitely the most memorable performance.
The power of Anthony Hopkins.
15 mins yet won best actor and scared you for life
Won Best Actor Academy Award for it.
There's a reason Sir Anthony Hopkins got knighted for his acting^^
"I'm having an old friend for dinner" is hilarious and creepy at the same time
"Gonna make me some Chilton chitlins."
Natalie at beginning of video: "I'm a bit nervous for this one."
Me: This girl doesn't realize just how much of an understatement that actually is.
Hannibal Lecter was a fantastic villain. Truly creepy. Anthony Hopkins really pulled out all the stops.
Hannibal Lecter was ranked the #1 villain on AFI'S 100 heroes and villains.
Natalie: "Today I'll be reacting to Silence of the Lambs."
Me: "I better turn the volume down, screams are incoming."
Yep, did the very same
@@mercutio39 me two..lol
Same here, specially since watching this really early.
You read my mind. I did exactly that.
Notice how Hannibal keeps full eye contact and almost never blinks his eyes, as he tries to take control over you. Feels extremely uncomfortable. Fantastic acting by Anthony Hopkins.
Yea. He looks like a predator staring at it's prey. Chilling.
This is very true, but in order to give that kind of fantastic performance, you need an equally fantastic scene partner, and Jodie Foster gives him exactly what he needs. It's the back and forth between the two of them that makes the performance so great.
@@melenatorr I agree 100%. I'd add a killer script too.
Not blinking is acting 101
@@jonathannagel7427 Yes, it's disturbing. Watch The Shining. Lloyd the bartender not only doesn't blink...his eyebrows are shaved off. It makes him look unreal and predatory.
When I was in college, a bunch of my friends and I watched this movie, then followed it up with Event Horizon. I've never slept so poorly in my life.
Event Horizon is my favorite film to NEVER watch again. Never before and after have I been so scared from just a movie.
Same here! ☠️
I really love that sound that Hannibal lector makes near the beginning after mentioning the liver and fava beans. That was something Hopkins legit did to the actress to freak her out off screen and she really wasn't expecting him to make the sound in the scene so her look of fear there is at least a bit, legitimate.
It was totally made up by Anthony Hopkins as a joke on her, but it was done so well that they left it in the movie. Good decision cause it is very creepy!!
Hannibal thinks that Clarice has a purpose to better the world. he mainly kills rude people. She is kind and honest to him. He will always go after anyone else that threatens her safety. She is protected by him.
He likes Barney for the same reason. He's polite, respectful, honest and a thorough professional. Chilton, on the other hand, is an insufferable prick.
@@garthrogers2269 Yea. He likes Barney too.
Exactly, Dr. Lector is polite and well mannered as much as he is a predator. And you will be polite and well mannered in his presence and to his guests (Miggs). Respect him and he will respect you. Don't... And he just might invite you to dinner
@@garthrogers2269 I like that Hannibal still likes and respects Barney even though Barney had to flat out break his arm once.
It's weird how in real life psychopaths often also insist on good behavior towards others... But i've learned that it's a tool they use to keep the focus on others. I think this is being slightly touched upon when Clarisse compliments Hanibal on his great perceptional abilties and asks him if he could use it to look inward.
"I do wish we could chat longer, but I'm having an old friend for dinner." - Hannibal Lecter (psychiatrist, serial killer, cannibal and apparently a master wordsmith)
Or a dad joke he burped up from someone he ate.
and chef
@@pedrolopez8057 Ya liver and Fava beans sound kinda good but make my liver from lamb, please. I'm not at all into human liver.
So many amazing scenes in this movie... I think my favorite is definitely when Clarise is explaining the screaming of the lambs, there's this amazing tension and chemistry in the scene and she speaks in this hurried, somewhat uncomfortable whispery tone... you can feel how much she wants to just get the next clue but knows she needs to satisfy Lecter's questions
Mmhmm... Seen this movie umpteen times and still am not sure how to interpret the tears in his eyes in that scene.
The thing with Silence of the Lambs that got me was how it conveyed the sense of unease women can feel around men. Even in the scenes where she's interacting with colleagues it's shot in such a way that they seem intimidating.
Especially men who think they're women
Hannibal's escape was hands down one of the best scenes ever made..
The mustachioed cop saying, "Oh God", and the music before the reveal of the 'Angel' scene. Insane.
@@TedBrogan EPIC, & totally agree..
@@TedBrogan that scene is right up there with the first time I saw Alien for "oh God what the eff" moments
@@TedBrogan what did he do to them in that scene? Skin them?
@@brianattyberry opened up his belly, let everything fall out, then strung him up.
THE SCREAM WHEN HE TOOK OFF THE FACE WAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT I rarely laugh out loud at videos but well done.
I almost thought she had guessed it. Good thing the "angel" scene was there to distract her... Jesus.....
Best part of Nat's reaction. 😈😂
That was the scene I went looking for when I saw that this reaction was posted. haha
„It puts the lotion on the skin or it gets the hose again.“ best quote 😆
“Was she a great big fat person?”
They took inspiration from Ted Bundy with the part where he asks her for help with the furniture into his van, Ted bundy would pretend to have a broken arm and ask girls for help putting something into his car.
He also almost killed Blondie , the singer. She escaped his car.
The reveal of Lecter in the back of the ambulance must be one of the best movie twists ever.
Anthony Hopkins said that after the movie came out people would cross the street, walk the entire block, then cross back just to avoid passing him. And he related the story with such profession glee.
Saw this in the theater when it first came out. When the "finger graze" happened, my ass clenched so hard I rose several inches in my seat. The guy I was with said "What's wrong?!" I told him he wouldn't understand.
Im a guy and i understand
at 21:33 she knew something was wrong, and then her reaction was priceless😂
Anthony Hopkins got an oscar for this, and he's only in it for about 15 minutes, yet he feels like he's all over it. A masterclass in evil.
The competition wasn’t really that hard that year. Same with Parasite.
@@faisalmemon285 Copium
@@soundaholixx What means?
@@soundaholixxCry 🤡
"I'm so nervous, he has a pen!"
Ladies and gentlemen, Hannibal Lecter; the John Wick of serial killers.
Uh, John Wick is a serial killer. The whole point of being an assassin is that you're a serial killer for hire.
With his intelligence and ingenuity Hannibal is more the MacGyver of serial killers...
@@DivineFalcon meh. Assassins kill for monetary gain. Serial killers typically kill for personal sexual gratification. You have your outliers, like the Beltway Snipers, but they’re few and far between.
@@DivineFalcon th-cam.com/video/9NZDwZbyDus/w-d-xo.html Like the Sniper said, professionals have standards.
@@DivineFalcon r/woosh
The pen is truly mightier than the sword. 😂
now imagine yourself in a theater when this came out.. The movie ends and just as the lights come up, the man who was sitting behind you says in Hannibal's voice, "Did you enjoy the film?" --- When you turn around, it's Anthony Hopkins.. He did that several times.
i had to watch this movie for my film class and it was a lot to try and keep it together and not jump scare or scream with a whole class of students watching as well😂
I actually described this to a friend who'd never seen it as, "a very good, very well made movie. It'll freak you the f*ck out, but you'll enjoy it." I stand by that assessment.
Fun Fact: Buffalo Bill was based loosely on real life serial killer Ed Gein.
Gein was also the basis for Leatherface in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre & Norman Bates in Psycho.
Ted Bundy as well - He was meant to be a pastiche of Ed Gein, Ted Bundy, and a guy who claimed to be a prodigious serial killer, Henry Lee Lucas -- but didn't really do a lot of the crap he claimed to do.
@@Jellycakelap also the then-not yet caught Green River Killer. Ted Bundy’s contribution was the pretending to he injured to lure women away from anyone capable of helping.
Also, The Green River Killer (body disposal) and early Ted Bundy (victim luring).
Not to mention Bishop of his own church Gary Heidnik, who kept women in pits in his basement in Philadelphia before murdering them.
The thrash metal band Slayer wrote one of their best songs, "Dead Skin Mask", about him :) fantastic song, legend of a band! 😎🤘🤘🤘
I just came across your video. Ive seen Silence of the Lambs about 50 times and your reactions are just perfect lol
You screaming at the ambulance scene was golden . thank you for doing this
If you want to see Anthony Hopkins in a different role watch Mask of Zorro. Very fun movie with the amazing Antonio Banderas in it as well!!
I agree. That is a really good movie and so nice to see Anthony Hopkins as such a great man.
I'll second - or third - that suggestion.
My mother's friend had a run in with Ted Bundy not long before he was caught, but was saved by her boyfriend at the last second.
She didn't even realize she was in danger until she recognized him on TV after his arrest.
Anthony Hopkins
did such an incredible job in his role as Hannibal
@Hannah’s Dad Manhunter was great. Hannibal (2001) was pretty good too. Did you ever see Red Dragon (2002)?
You knew she was in trouble with the upbeat intro. One of my favorite movies, all I would add would be a scene showing Lecter getting the pen (maybe pissing off Chilton so he forgets it or something) and a scene with Clarice calling for backup on his phone, but then she hears Catherine's screams and has to go down. Still an amazing experience though.
Oh my god, I loved watching you experience this movie!! This is one of my favorite films, and the twists that got you were so freaking satisfying
you missed the relationship between Hannibal and Clarice. He respects her and wouldn't hurt her. he only hunts people he has no respect for.
Not completely true as Hannibal has a very antagonistic relationship with Will Graham. He respects Will but also tried to kill him :P
@@jarock-wh9lj the Will Graham thing was mainly just Hannibal curious about how he got caught. He knows that Graham could be just like himself he just needs a good push. So it was all just a game for him. In the end when Graham "wins the game", Hannibal promises not to pursue him from then on.
@@leperwolf7287 I believe Hannibal does send multiple psychopaths after Will though even after being captured. Been a long time since I"ve read the books.
@@jarock-wh9lj same here. I could be completely wrong. It's been a few decades since I read it. I may be remembering it completely wrong.
She always misses stuff in the movies she reviews. Cause she can’t shut the fuck up. I lee thinking ok she’ll get better. And she just gets worse🤦♀️
"I'm having an old friend for dinner."
I hope he brought Chianti!
I love that line. Hell, that whole ending was just a perfect finale to a perfect film.
That was honestly my favorite line of the movie, was a little sad she didn't include her reaction to that line.
@@RiflemanTV Knowing Natalie, she probably didn't get it, lol.
Best line ever!!!!
Natalie, you are my inner monologue whenever I watch a scary movie!! I laughed my ass off, thank you!
Your reaction to the ambulance scene was so perfect!
I could not recommend Gattaca enough. It is beautifully shot with a lot of lovingly hidden Easter eggs that gives it a lot of depth. I noticed something new and clever almost every time i rewatched it. It’s also not a scary movie so that’s got to be a plus for you. ;)
Good suggestion.
There are some movies that would never get picked because people haven't seen them even though they are incredible films. Gattaca is one. I would also include Life is Beautiful. Great films that fly under the majority of peoples radar.
I would have never classified Gattaca as a scary movie, but I agree it's a terrific film. Highly recommended! As well as having really beautiful art direction, it's a thoughtful exploration of a very real moral issue.
I think GATTACA was a great movie. But I don't think it lends itself to this forum. It's a thoughtful drama. Makes you think.
Natalie: I see myself in her.
Buffalo Bill: So do I.
Clever! Bravo :)
It puts the lotion in the basket...😁
Glad you enjoyed.
The slight finger touch between Hannibal and Clarice is one of the most emotive contacts on film in my view. Beautiful.
My favorite recent scary show was the Netflix series "The Haunting of Hill House". Extremely well done and very, very, scary. The pay off of the journey is sooo good.
The Mads Mikkelsen Hannibal TV series was really good. It had a really dark art style that was very intriguing. And I have to admit that Mads' Hannibal gave Anthony's a run for his money. And that's saying something.
There are people - including me - who believe that Brian Cox's version of Lecter in the movie _Manhunter_ is by far the best. The problem with the other performances is that those Lecters are people who come across as creepy right from the start; if you met them you'd instantly decide never to have anything to do with them ever again.
Cox's version, on the other hand, is affable, amusing, charming. You can easily see him lulling people into a false sense of security until it's far, far too late.
But as a moviegoer you have to work hard to appreciate this, which is why directors prefer an obviously sinister performance so even the dumb people can see who they're supposed to be afraid of.
What I find really fascinating about Lecter's character is that above all else he despises people who are deceptive, and rude or uncouth. You can see that in why he killed Miggs and also why he doesn't target Clarice.
This is one of my favorite movies, so much so I rarely watch it so the chills stay somewhat fresh. I really wanted to see your reaction to it and you did not disappoint. 30 minutes well spent. Thank you, Natalie.
Loved your reaction videos! Your editing is so cool, with the hannibal masks when you swears and the breaking news cat headlines. That's some very admirable dedication to entertainment! 'Well it's good that he has hobbies' xDD love it
I think Hannibal is genuinely infatuated and interested with Clarise, not wanting to kill her, despite his nature. Which makes him an interesting character. He still does have other emotions, wants, thoughts.
Hannibal, the direct sequael to this shows him "in the wild", and I think it's such a great sequel because of how much he was built up in this movie. It's also got an equally crazy af ending. I hope Natalie watches it at some point.
Dr. Lecter also places tremendous value in politeness and manners as a form of respect, and Clarice is never lacking there.
He almost exclusively only kills rude people.
Se7en starring Brad Pitt & Morgan Freeman is another great thriller along the lines of Silence of the lambs.
"What's in the box? WHAT'S IN THE BOX??!!!?"
Absolutely. Se7en is likely best thriller ever.
This is a good recommendation I love Se7en
Lol yeah if you enjoy rogue waves of crippling depression with your Oscar worthy thrillers. (It is joke, but also not)
I hated people after watching that
I took a girlfriend of mine to see this when it came out . She slid down in her chair when I stood up in the final scenes of the movie yelling at Foster’s character when Wild Bill was hunting her in the dark. Thankfully,she told me I wasn’t the only one doing that.
Yes, we all lied, but your reactions are priceless :D
I just realized that Chilton telegraphed his own undoing in telling Clarice not to give Hannibal a pen or pencil; he forgot his own pen in the cell which led to Hannibal freeing himself to come after Chilton
It's the Chekhov's gun. The foreshadowing.
"Grab a drink, grab a snack..."
I am having fava beans and a nice chianti. How about you?
Bravo!!
Who gave you Internet?!
I'm having a Dr pepper and 2 shitty fish nuggets. How about you?
I think that chianti and beans line makes Hopkins sound like a hillbilly to me.
I'm a brainy person
This is one of my all time favorite movie reactions. Happy to be a subscriber! Thank you, Natalie Gold. Cheers!
Hannibal doesn't just eat people's skin. He eats their organs. And he hung the Sergeant up like a moth. There aren't two cannibals in this movie. Buffalo Bill just skins and kills women. When he dies, he dies in the position of a moth, with the goggles on which mimic the large eyes of a moth. Lots of fun surprises in both the dialogue and the imagery of this movie.
One of my favorite pieces of trivia in this film is that night vision scene in the house with Clarice fumbling around, the lights on, a green film was put over the cameras lense and she faked not being able to see
You can tell in some shots, for example, his hand casts a shadow on her shoulder when he's behind her, which wouldnt happen with true nightvision
You might consider Se7en (1995). That's another thriller, this one featuring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman. I remember it being quite impactful when I watched it.
EDIT: Natalie, please don't read the replies below. There may be mild spoilers.
Unmitigated masterpiece.
Se7en is an absolute must.
It feels like Seven is exactly the kind of movie this channel is made for. Get on it, Nat.
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
Welcome to the Fannibal community ✌🏻
It's a deeply psychological thriller and it's tough to watch sometimes but it is a really beautifully done film.
I love this movie and I come back to it every once in a while 🖤
I love the final line from Hannibal, "I'm having an old friend for dinner"
"Just lie to him."
"Don't lie, or I'll know."
😳
Thank you for posting this! Fun reaction!
This is definitely one of the best Oscar Award Winnees!
Seven, you have to watch Seven. Well made, superbly acted, highly regarded, psychological thriller like this. SEVEN! SEVEN IS THE NAME!
What’s in the box man? WHATS IN THE BOX???
A beautiful family film
making the 7 deadly sins deadly again
Phew. Are you sure? SOTL is thrilling and intellectual.... 7even crosses into disturbing and nihilistic. Not that it isn't a great film but I would not recommend it to just anyone...
Se7en?
"I'm a bit nervous for this one" Smart woman
Wow. I've watched this movie with several people, seen several reactions, I've never seen someone so terrified of THE GLASS, ROFL.
Horror and Thriller are specific genres, they can both be "horrific", they can both be "scary". You could even say Thriller is a sub-genre of Horror. Thriller is more suspenseful, unpredictable, has twists. Horror is straight up evil or gruesome, the threat is known, it's out in the open, it's the drive of the whole movie. It's about defeating it or getting away from it.
It's a label to share understanding of what the movie is. This is a "Thriller."
...ok that was the best explanation of horror/thriller ever. Lol Seriously. Nobody ever gets it right & u just totally did. Horror is the genre, sub-genre “thriller”. SOTL is absolutely a thriller. Saw it in the theater & at least a couple dozen times since. It’s still soooooo good. Love all the performances. Plus, Lecter’s like Vader. He’s a hideous murderer, yet we still LOVE him. 😃
It seemed she may have been thinking Lector was going to be more of a supernatural killer like Michael Myers or Jason.
to me the easiest way to distinct horror and thriller is the fact that thrillers are people only, and horror needs to include something supernatural/alien :D dunno if this rule is a rule with capital R, but afaik it checks out ;)
There are plenty of thrillers that are clearly not horror movies. Most spy thrillers are clear examples. There are also quite a few horror movies without any supernatural elements.
What distinguishes horror from thriller is that in a thriller, the protagonist overcomes a series of challenges, whereas in a horror story the protagonist repeatedly fails to overcome the same challenge. The Shining is a horror story, The Silence of the Lambs is a thriller.
That's not to say that one is objectively scarier than the other.
One of my top 5 favorites! I love seeing people react to this for the first time.
This was super fun to watch, I have seen a lot of your videos but this one I love it, I love this movie senses I was a kid
Silence of the Lambs and the Screaming of the Nat.
I've never seen anyone misunderstand Hannibal and Clarice's relationship dynamic before haha
Yea, I am continually surprised at Natalie's perspective on things like this. I guess that is the difference between someone who's watched movies all their life compared to someone who has never seen all these moments and situations that tend to recur over and over on screen. It's not a bad thing. It's just strange.
Like she is from some foreign country or something.
Agreed. It's interesting how scenes, characters, etc., can be perceived differently by each viewer. I kept _face-palming_ at her reactions during their interactions. 🤦🏼♂️😄
I could be _waaay_ off here, but in trying to understand how the relationship was so misread, I think about her past reactions, and how it seems as though she puts herself in the _physical_ space of many characters.¹ By doing so she is unable to relax enough to take in some of the more nuanced elements of a scene.
🤷🏼♂️ _Yes? No? Maybe?_ 🤷🏼♂️

@@CaesiusX Like I said, I just think she has just not watched enough movies to pick up on subtle things like this, as well as how filmmakers have evolved in their techniques of "fooling" the audience.
Natalie is too woke to use her brain, doesn't everyone already know that?
@@TedBrogan I suppose I hadn't really considered _inexperience._ But that's about the size of it. As you suggest, perhaps after one sees enough films (particularly of this ilk), the more basic elements wash over them, as they come to acknowledge and remark on the more indirect aspects. 👖¹

This was a childhood favorite of mine and I'm still a big fan of the Hannibal character~ I'd recommend the TV show actually, its absolutely gorgeous and very well made~
10:25 I’m just imagining a sweet old man lost with his wife asking Natalie for directions and she immediately yells “LEAVE ME THE F*CK ALONE” before running away. 🤣
It's actually someone wearing a sweet old man's FACE! 😱
@@bigdream_dreambig And his wife is a giant puppet.
Run!
And the sweet old man turns to his wife and says, "Well dear, we'll have to keep the one in the basement alive for a few more days."
Hannibal has a thing about eating the rude thats why he never went after Clarice or Barney, he respects them and they are courteous and considerate to him considering his incarceration. But as Hannibal often says he find discourtesy ugly and disgusting. He often justifies himself eating other people whom he considers rude because they are beneath him or lower than him. To him it’s only cannibalism if they are his equals. If you love Silence o/t Lambs, watch the Hannibal (2013-15) series with Mads Mikelson as Hannibal - it’s fantastic.
That was hilarious. Really do enjoy your vids.
one person once wrote that terror is the suspense of knowing something is coming, while horror is the witnessing of that terror, the blood and gore part. so this is both a terror film and a horror film, as well as regular suspense. one term for this might be gothic horror, or even grand guignol, theatre of blood.
Fun Fact: Jodie Foster played the evil tattoo in the X-Files episode 'Never Again'. She's even scarier than Anthony Hopkins when she wants to be.
Never again
The one time Scully decides to go wild, she hooks up with a guy who has a homicidal tattoo. :)
I love that episode, i remember it was the red lips of the tattoo which caused his hallucinations….
Foster can be seriously intense. 😬
The thing about the horror genre is that most people tend to constrain it to a single one of its characteristics: frightful. But horror also means that which makes you psychologically or mentally uncomfortable. So while scary means horror, horror does not mean scary. It just includes it.
Yup, this movie had none of the classic "horror" tropes, yet was disturbing and scary on so many levels.
I would also say Horror as a movie genre almost always has unrealistic or supernatural elements. A police procedural following a serial killer is much more grounded and realistic than a Horror movie.
Its also so realistic. No monsters or anything daft.
I'd call this psychological horror

Great reaction to Silence of the Lambs and pleased that you enjoyed it (kind of) it's one of my all time favourite movies. There is a sequel Hannibal (2001) directed by Ridley Scott which you may find interesting to watch as to see what happens next?
Keep up the good work, your reactions are always enjoyable.
This is my absolute favorite of all your reaction videos.
"Liver's not even good; like even human liver!" Is there something you're not telling us?
Liver is delicious, I haven't eaten a human liver though (and I don't want to).
Human liver is delicious, but only after it has been pickled in alcohol.
@@Blobby3822 From interviews with actual south sea cannibals after WWII. Humans taste like Pork. So if you ever fry up pork liver that is what human liver will taste like. We even have the same calories as pigs.
Beef liver is brain super food
Natalie obviously hasn't had a properly prepared and cooked liver. Although I am a little concerned over the 'even human liver' part of her comment.
His cell having a sliding glass door instead of bars gives the impression that he's not so much an inmate as much a museum specimen that's being scrutinized and studied.
It is very interesting that it took awhile for the crew of this film, to figure out a way to not have the audience see Hannibal through cell bars. Then after deciding to use the clear plexiglass, the ‘air holes’ had to be made so that his remarks/lines could be heard clearly.
I am going from your reaction to Princess Bride to this in one jump. I loved your reaction to Princess Bride...you got the humor right on. Now we are dealing with one of the creepiest movies ever and I can't wait to see your reaction.
Your reaction during the tense scene of Hannibal's reveal under the guard's face was absolutely priceless! bwahahaha!
Not to mention the house switcheroo scene made by the editing.
Hannibal gets not only the newspaper, but mail from researchers, students, archivists and all manner of other people. Managing his correspondence is a fairly large part of his day in the institute.
I saw this movie at a theatre in Calumet City .When the police said Lector was in Calumet City our whole theatre screamed
Nope...It was Buffalo Bill they said was there, not Lecter.
Awesome reaction. It's of course fun to watch you seeing a scary movie since you actually find them scary! Keep it up!
part 2 next! lets go!
"WHY DID SHE COME BY HERSELF"
It's literally called "Your Self Storage"
Anthony Hopkins won the Best Actor oscar for this performance in 1992. He featured in the film for only 16 minutes.
Hereditary is terrifying but a really well made horror film. Definitely falls into the category of critically-acclaimed horror films that you want to watch
Fantastic reaction again Natalie, heartbreaking that you feel so vulnerable... It's a very sad reflection of the world we live in
