Review of Manhunter (1986) by Victoria K — 31 Jan 2009
It was actually better than I expected it to be. I didn't even know that there had been an "original" Hannibal Lector movie, so I was a little skeptical. Of course, nobody can replace Anthony Hopkin's as Lector in my book (or Liam Neeson for that matter as the "Tooth Fairy) but the actors held their own and did a good job nonetheless.
I was also pleasantly surprised to see a young William Peterson (Grissom in CSI) playing Will Graham. I still enjoyed the plot (even though I already knew what was going to happen), which had it's twists and turns and suspenceful moments.
Overall, it was pretty good, but I still prefer the remake.
