Ep1017: If You Like LONGLEGS (2024), You'll Love MANHUNTER (1986)
According to the Internet, Oz Perkins' new film, Longlegs, is the bestest, most scariest horror film in, like, seven generations!
Earth's Mightiest Critics will be the judge of that!
Join us for a look at this 2024 serial killer movie set in the 1990s, and see how it stacks up to an actual 1980s serial killer movie, which boasts the big-screen debut of Hannibal Lecter (or, as it was spelled back then, “Lektor”)!
That's right, we're also talking Michael Mann's 1986 thriller, Manhunter!
