Just watched Manhunter. It was very good! Solid, tightly directed thriller. Quite amusing to see this material done in a highly stylized, baroque way on Hannibal and then in a highly stylized, Miami Vice way here. 7.2/10
Probably won’t watch the Brett Ratner Red Dragon tho. Even I have limits.
Just rewatched Silence of the Lambs. Transphobia aside, you gotta admit Buffalo Bill had good glam rock-adjacent taste. 8.4/10
It’s weird, the transphobia in Silence of the Lambs is the opposite of the transphobia in Psycho.
The moral of Psycho (1960) is “there are two kinds of trans people, and one is serial murderer”.
31 years later, Silence of the Lambs has progressed to “no no, it’s the other kind that are serial murderers”.
Perhaps it’s bad of me but I’d for sure watch a thriller movie about a murderous catgirl polycule.
