The Night of the Hunter is praised for its stunning visual style, particularly its use of early film expressionism and a memorable underwater scene. Robert Mitchum's performance is highlighted as devilishly frightening, drawing comparisons to Cormac McCarthy’s Judge Holden. Overall, it's considered a great movie.
Great movie!
Oh man. What an incredible looking film. The Night of the Hunter conveys early film expressionism so well. That underwater scene, wow.Robert Mitchum is so devilishly frightening. I feel as Cormac McCarthy’s Judge Holden draws on William Powell and his sickening performance.What a treat.
If you can tolerate watching scummy people fake religious affinity to manipulate those around them, then I am sure that you find this to be a good if not great movie - I just can’t stomach it.
