What Reelgood users are saying

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.

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.
