Director: Michael MannWriters: Michael Mann (screenplay by); Thomas Harris (based on the 1981 novel Red Dragon by)Cinematographer: Dante SpinottiSelected Cast: William Petersen as Will GrahamKim Greist as Molly GrahamJoan Allen as RebaBrian Cox as Dr. LecktorDennis Farina as Jack CrawfordStephen Lang as Freddy LoundsTom Noonan as Francis DollarhydeDavid Seaman as Kevin GrahamBenjamin Hendrickson as Dr. ChiltonMichael Talbott as GeehanFrankie Faison as Lt. FiskChris Elliott as ZellerPeter Maloney as Dr. Dominick PrinciKin Shriner as Mr. Sherman From 1984 to 1989, Michael Mann produced 111 episodes of “Miami Vice,” a TV series that became a cultural phenomenon. He then applied those style elements, as the writer and director, to Manhunter (1986), an adaptation of Red Dragon, the 1981 novel by Thomas Harris. Do those same elements of style work in a horror movie? It doesn’t hurt that the film is populated with a top-notch cast & crew who create a good-looking, professional production. But what makes Manhunter even more interesting is that it’s the first appearance of Hannibal Lecter, the fictional character who goes on to become one of the most famous villains of the last 40 years. The Grue-Crew have fun straying into comparing Manhunter (1986) to Red Dragon (2002), its re-imagining sixteen years later. Hopefully, our fun is your fun! At the time of this writing, Manhunter (1986) is available to stream from Kanopy, Roku, Criterion Channel, and multiple PPV sources. Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1980s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1980s. The next episode’s film, chosen by Crystal, is Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986). The sequel to Tobe Hooper’s Poltergeist (1982) features many of the same faces (JoBeth Williams, Craig T. Wilson, Heather O’Rourke, Oliver Robins, Zelda Rubinstein) and similar spectral shenanigans. And they even moved to a different house! It’s time to check it out!
