A lot could've gone wrong in Red Dragon, but the movie exceeds expectations. Replacing the acclaimed Manhunter as an "official" entry in the Hannibal Lecter trilogy, this topnotch thriller--the second adaptation of Thomas Harris's first Lecter novel--returns to the fertile soil of The Silence of the Lambs, serving as both prequel and heir to the legacy of Lecter as portrayed, with mischievous menace, by the great Anthony Hopkins. Familiar faces and locations reappear (along with Lambs screenwriter Ted Tally) as Lecter coaches FBI profiler Will Graham (Edward Norton) in tracking the horrific "Tooth Fairy" killer (Ralph Fiennes), whose transformative killing spree is inspired by a William Blake painting. By dutifully serving Harris's potent material, Tally and director Brett Ratner craft a suspenseful film worthy of its predecessors, bringing Hopkins full circle as one of the cinema's all-time greatest villains. With overtones of Psycho and a superb supporting cast, Red Dragon succeeds against considerable odds!!

  • 1. Hannibal Lecter’s FBI Case File - This constitutes of approximately twenty five pages of text in an FBI file style format covering not just his vital statistics and his life before and during the phase of time Red Dragon is shot in, but beyond that into the timeline of Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal. A few spoilers for those who have not seen all three films yet.
  • 2. The Criminal Profile of Hannibal Lecter - (hosted by John Douglas – an FBI Profiler) - This eight minute featurette goes into how Douglas does his work and how he got into this disturbing role including mentioning that he once interviewed Charles Manson. This FBI job comes across as quite harrowing as he actually does try to get into the mind of the killer and victim including talking about what made Hannibal a cannibal.
  • 3. Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter - In it he compares Lecter to the “Bogeyman” and in that, his popularity stems from peoples enjoyment of being scared. While chatting about his character he also talks about the way he prepares for the role in, as he always does, reads his characters part of the script a whopping two hundred and fifty times aloud. Apparently there is no mystic significance to this; he is just “a little bit obsessive”.  Includes a very short look at the character.
