NIGHT OF THE HUNTER 1955
Directed by the great Charles Laughton
93 minutes
In English
The infamous masterpiece NIGHT OF THE HUNTER directed by the actor Charles Laughton, composed of exquisite cinematography and strange atmospheric music, tells the story of a religious-fanatic-criminal who stalks several young children. This psychopathic preacher, who has become one of the key iconic demonic figures of cinema, has the word LOVE tattooed on the knuckles of one hand, and HATE tattooed on the knuckles of the other.
NIGHT OF THE HUNTER is not just a great, uncanny horror movie, but one of the most profound artistic achievements in the history of cinema. It is poetic as hell, and it contains passages which transcend the art of filmmaking. This film was so heavily attacked when it came out, that the director would never be allowed to make another film. Ever since its release, it has been considered to be one of the most profound and artistic films to come out of Hollywood. Starring an incredible Robert Mitchum and Shelley Winters.
There's a haunting quality about this film which lingers with you for days after watching it. One viewer remarked, "You don't watch this movie, it watches you." Beware of false prophets who come as wolves dressed in sheep's clothing!
