Manhunter: The Final Cut

Screening as part of Enzian's 13+ Films of Halloween.

New 4K Restoration! Featuring a Book to Big Screen discussion with Dr. Milt Moise of Rollins College.

A retired criminal profiler (William Petersen) reluctantly returns to the FBI to help track down a serial killer of families and is forced to consult an expert—the imprisoned Dr. Hannibal Lecktor (Brian Cox in a subtly chilling performance). The third feature written and directed by Michael Mann is a gripping adaptation of “Red Dragon”, the first of Thomas Harris's four novels featuring the iconic murderer Lecktor, and benefits from the filmmaker's typically striking visuals as well as a top-notch supporting cast, including Tom Noonan as the hunted killer and three-time Oscar® nominee Joan Allen as his blind love interest.

This new 4K Final Cut, overseen by Mann, enhances the film’s depth, visual clarity and sound, offering audiences the ultimate immersive version. Shot in 1985, Manhunter was on a frontier in both its subject matter and film form, initiating an impressive list of subsequent films and series.
