Still considered one of the best film shots in cinema history.

I finally decided to check out an absolute classic in Night of the Hunter and holy fucking shit this is cinema. Movies like this are why we have the phrase "every frame a painting".

@thealmightyemprex @ariel-seagull-wings @themousefromfantasyland @piterelizabethdevries @princesssarisa @grctw there are different kinds of villains out there. You have your cool villains, your tragic villains, your sympathetic villains/antagonists. This list is comprised of villains who get under my skin in a very personal way. I see a pattern here - abusive parents and partners, manipulators whose control can come as much from words and reputation as outward acts of violence. Even the most overtly violent and obviously vile of them are enabled by their stations - the family patriarch, the cog in the imperialist machine, etc.

Night of the Hunter (1955)

I keep drawing scenes from it, and at this point, I should just make TNOTH into an illuatrated storybook

Hunter of The Night (1955)

I've never seen a movie so ahead of it's time

[aestheticwittycinematics]

The Night of the Hunter (1955) directed by  Charles Laughton

One of the darkest of the psychological noir jewels. Roberth Mitchum and Shelley Winters shine as the stars of the film.

Night of the Hunter

It's an incredible movie, and if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend giving it a try. Robert Mitchum's performance as a preacher/serial killer trying to terrorise two kids into telling him where their father hid his money is probably the best he's ever been. He wanted that role right away, and he brings all the charisma and sex appeal to it that it needs.

I'm wondering if this scene was an inspiration for some of Richard Armitage's scenes as Francis Dolarhyde in Hannibal, with the triangular gable and the extremely deliberate body language/movements.

Internet Archive has the movie, subbed in Spanish
