A vicious serial killer nicknamed the “Tooth Fairy” due to his penchant for biting his victims has savagely killed two families. With his unit having hit a wall in identifying the assailant, FBI supervisor Jack Crawford attempts to convince his former top profiler, Will Graham, to assist with the case. Graham is reluctant, still shaken by his work apprehending the brilliant yet sociopathic cannibal Dr. Hannibal Lecktor, but eventually agrees. Fearing that another murder will soon take place, Graham realizes he must do the unthinkable: solicit help from Lecktor. As he ventures deeper into the world of serial murder and madness, his own perceptions of reality begin to falter. With paranoia and guilt setting in, he begins to question how close he can get to madness without going insane himself.

From visionary filmmaker Michael Mann (The Keep, Heat), adapting author Thomas Harris’ landmark bestseller Red Dragon, MANHUNTER remains one of the most astonishing and visually striking thrillers of the 1980s. Featuring William Petersen (TV’s CSI) in what has been acclaimed as one of the greatest performances of his career, alongside three-time Oscar nominee Joan Allen (The Crucible), Dennis Farina (Get Shorty), Stephen Lang (Avatar), Tom Noonan (The House of the Devil), and Brian Cox (TV’s Succession) in the first on-screen portrayal of Hannibal Lecktor, this visual feast of dread, photographed by two-time Oscar nominee Dante Spinotti (L.A. Confidential), at last comes to 4K UHD in its original and totally unaltered 1986 theatrical release version. Newly restored by Vinegar Syndrome exclusively for this release and featuring an extensive assortment of both new and archival bonus features, this is the ultimate home video presentation of an unforgettable shocker.
