Actor Charles Laughton’s one and only film as a director is one of Hollywood’s most unusual masterpieces. Filled with hallucinatory imagery and gorgeous chiaroscuro, Night of the Hunter is one of the most haunting thrillers of all time. A crooked psychopath disguised as a preacher (Robert Mitchum) goes on the trail of hidden heist money, the secret of which is held by two children. When the children go on the run, the preacher stalks them across the rural countryside of the depression-era American Midwest. Mitchum’s character is undoubtedly one of the most sinister and twisted in all of classic cinema, and the best of his many roles. Maniacal tent revivalism and the quiet beauty of riverside communities are depicted with equal mastery in this rare cinematic gem.
