Manhunter

Michael Mann / US, 1986 / 120 min.

Before The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal ‘The Cannibal’ Lecter already made his appearance in this film based on Thomas Harris’ novel Red Dragon. Rather than relying on blood and gore, Michael Mann harnesses the oppressive camera work and acting to unnerve his audience.
