Review of Manhunter (1986) by Kingzaphod — 24 May 2013

This movie has been criticized for reasons that make it so great. Maybe it's a personal thing but if you want to use your imagination, just let go and let the film absorb you as the visuals and the music suck you into the mood and the mental angst.

For me one of the cleverest and by far the scariest film I have ever watched maybe it's the thought of another tooth fairy being out like the one so well played by Noonan I cannot forget for instance his ecstasy watching her stroke the Tiger and by implication the intensity of the emotions that the killer can feel brilliant. The cast are all very convincing. I'd call it the brilliant original of the Hannibal Lechter series.

If you get a chance give this one a go.
