I wasn't sure about this one . But it held together . The whole cast was convincing down to the boy who played the son. The sound track music was terribly dated, otherwise it could have been filmed in this market. Enjoyed it as a suspense thrilller.

I had forgotten what a good actor Will Peterson is; his rendition of Will Graham is excellent. The supporting cast delivers a fine performance as well. The overall story is engaging, fast-paste, and—of course—bone-chilling.

I really enjoyed this film. At the time, I had no idea that it was basically "Red Dragon", because back then, we didn't know the story. I think that its partly what makes this film all the better. For all of the "Silence of the Lambs / Hannibal Lecter" fans - you have to see this movie. You won't be disappointed. 👍👍
