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 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 screening will be hosted by local author Dean Cade, who will also be doing a signing before and after the screening. Dean is a Gen X writer who survived the chaos of running wild on the streets in his formative years. Now he uses those experiences, the highs, lows, and redemptions, to write memoir and genre fiction.
Dean is the author of Summer 1973, a unique coming-of-age gay horror series (Cruising, Lost Boys, and Shallow Graves) set in true crime, from Slashic Horror Press.
