Movie Description
In this eerie meditation on good and evil, a schizophrenic preacher--possibly the devil himself--relentlessly hunts two small children across the Depression-era Bible Belt to get at their dead father's stolen fortune. In Robert Mitchum's career-defining role as Preacher Harry Powell, he wears unforgettable tattoos of two four-letter words on his fingers: LOVE and HATE. Hauntingly directed by Charles Laughton, THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER is his only credited directorial effort, and it is a tour-de-force.

Editorial Reviews
"...One of the greatest of all American films....NIGHT OF THE HUNTER is an expressionistic oddity....What a compelling, frightening and beautiful film it is..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (11/24/1996)

"...This noirish, dreamy chiller ripples between arthouse cine-poem and Hollywood suspenser with a fearful sophistication..."
Total Film - Daniel Webb (12/01/2003)

"Mitchum is awesome and strange."
Uncut - Uncut Staff (12/01/2004)

"There is a strong case to be made that this is the most original Hollywood film ever....Laughton's unique, haunted film achieved exactly what he had intended, provoking astonishment in everyone who saw it."
Empire - Empire Staff (09/01/2008)

    This 1955 movie was the best vehicle for Robert Mitchum! I can't imagine anyone else in the roll of a twisted, psychotic preacher. The movie had me on pins and needles while I was watching it. It is very difficult to watch a man void of feelings and willing to kill two small innocent children for their father's money. Lillian Gish makes a wonderful appearance in this depression-era story. Her kind heart in taking in many children who have been abandoned. Watch Mitchell go from a smooth, slick, sweet talking preacher to satan himself. Best role he ever played!
