Night of the Hunter
Though purely homegrown, Hunter contains no social critique -- the issues are elemental, the morality biblical, the trials Homeric. In terms of cinematic texture, it's a hound from hell.
-Village VoiceOne of the most chilling suspense films ever made, it's also the finest role of Robert Mitchum.
-Dallas Morning News
A religious fanatic marries a gullible widow whose young children are reluctant to tell him where their real daddy hid $10,000 he'd stolen in a robbery. Come experience the thrills of this silver screen classic from 1955 on the bigscreen, and see why it ranked so high on the AFI 100 Years...100 Thrills list and is one of the 100 Most Beautiful Films from Cahiers du cinema.
