Review of The Night of the Hunter (1955) by Lester Y — 27 Jun 2010
Harry Powell only rivals the likes of the Westboro Baptist Church as the embodiment of pure, chilling evil. Appropriately enough, The Night Of The Hunter is like a nightmare that gets progressively more and more disorienting and menacing, with simple but astonishing visuals that puts most film noir to shame and characters that are striking in their resiliency (the children), purity (Rachel), and viciousness (Powell).
