'Manhunter' had obvious 'Miami Vice' influences. Why not? After all, it was done by Michael Mann, the same guy that did 'MV'

'Red Dragon' REALLY plays up the Hannibal Lector connection. Think of the darkness and quiet tones of 'Silence of the Lambs' applied to 'Manhunter', take away the 80's aspects (less pastels) and that should give you a good idea of what 'Red Dragon' is like.

And its not meant to be a scary movie. Its a crime movie, more whodunnit than anything else. Its all in the characters, although I did have a tough time accepting Edward Norton in the William Petersen role.
