The Night of the Hunter

A Masterful Calling Card
SIngli6 - wrote on 03/24/11

The height - if not the introduction - of Neo-Expressionist filmmaking, 'The Night of the Hunter' is the calling card of a great filmmaker who never was. With brilliant performances (even from the 'chillld...reeen') and evocative cinematography, 'Hunter' is a textbook example in how to effortlessly elicit suspense and menace. You will never think of the hymn 'Leaning on the Everlasting Arms' in quite the same way again.
