Review of The Night of the Hunter (1955) by Wendy Ide for Times (UK) — 04 Oct 2015
It's overwrought and lurid; the story is grotesque and so are the characters. It's unlike anything else before and since. And that is why this strident psychological horror stands up now as one of the great pieces of American genre cinema.
