Description

A tall, handsome preacher his knuckles eerily tattooed with love and hate roams the countryside, spreading the gospel and leaving a trail of murdered women in his wake. To Reverend Harry Powell, the work of the Lord has more to do with condemning souls than saving them, especially when his own interests are involved. Now his sights are set on $10,000 and two little children are the only ones who know where it is. Children! The preacher croons to the terrified boy and girl hiding in the cold, dark cellar innocent young lambs who refuse to be led astray. The legendary, lone directorial effort of actor Charles Laughton (Witness for the Prosecution), The Night of the Hunter stars Robert Mitchum (Out of the Past) in the most daring and critically acclaimed performance of his career, opposite the equally spellbinding Shelley Winters (He Ran All the Way) and Lillian Gish (Duel in the Sun). Ominous and hauntingly suspenseful, this extraordinary noir classic remains one of the most frightening movies ever made (Pauline Kael) and one of the greatest of all American films (Roger Ebert).

  • Chef-d'oeuvre absolu.

    Ecrire détester ce film revient à exposer à tous son manque d'intelligence, de goût et de culture.

  • Die Nacht des Jägers

    Written on 31. December 2019 by Marco.

    This customer review refers to a alternative version.

    Stark überbewerteter Film (IMDB). Unglaubwürdige bis lächerliche Darstellung des Priesters durch Robert Mitchum und der Mutter Shelley Winters. Charles Laughton mag ein guter Schauspieler sein, aber von Regiearbeit sollte er besser die Hände lassen. Schauspieler sollten nicht in Ihre Rollen gezwungen werden sondern darstellerischen Freiraum ausleben dürfen ansonsten kann auch eine Starbesetzung wie hier aus einem Murks kein Kunstwerk schaffen. Zum Glück für den Zuschauer, hat selbst Laughton dies nach seinem Regie Debüt begriffen.
