unlabelledView post →Alan Rickman walks onto that screen like Tyson entering the ring in his prime, a god in human form who knows it. "Who said we were terrorists?" made me positively giddy. He's up there with Robert Mitchum in The Night of the Hunter or Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs, a perfect movie villain
unlabelledView post →THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER premiered on this day 70 years ago in Des Moines, Iowa, to negative reviews. As a result, it was the only film directed by Charles Laughton, truly unique in every way, and an utter masterpiece. A grim, poetic, fairy tale, slathered in beauty, suffused in American Gothic...
unlabelledView post →1955 THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER (Laughton) ⭐️⭐⭐⭐⭐ The greatest of one-off directorial efforts. Maybe Laughton lost interest, maybe he thought he could never top himself. Miraculous either way; a film with a completely different time zone. Nightmare logic from a child's subconscious. Also notable: Ordet
unlabelledView post →It’s Charles Laughton’s birthday. In his unique & brilliantly directed masterpiece The Night of The Hunter, he used a little person on a pony in this studio set to make it look like Robert Mitchum’s psychopathic preacher was further way than he looked (starts at 1.06). youtu.be/9PyNL2ahKwc?...

unlabelledView post →My son gave me this Bible a few years back for Christmas I taught him at a young age to love black & white. Many kids today won't even give a film in black and white a chance. My son's favorite Film Noir is The Night of the Hunter.
unlabelledView post →Tonight’s movie selection is “The Night of the Hunter” (1955). I have a soft spot for Southern Gothic and the more noir the better. Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters. This only film solely directed by Charles Laughton

unlabelledView post →My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER boxd.it/bRxq2j Gorgeously constructed & framed, horror movie doubles as allegory of good vs evil. Mitchum creates one of cinema's most iconic villains & themes of religious hypocrisy still resonates. Visual poetry. #filmsky 📽 Criterion Collection 541

unlabelledView post →Solid contender for best movie ever made. Everyone should check out one of the strangest and most Structural Cinema-coded of all making-of docs, Charles Laughton Directs The Night of the Hunter, which almost shot for shot shows Laughton working through the entire shoot.
unlabelledView post →Rewatched The Night of the Hunter the other day, and I don't know if there's a better movie when it comes to capturing fear as a child experiences it. That unease of living in a world that's bigger than you and that you don't yet really have words to explain.

unlabelledView post →One of the greatest classics is sort of a heartland gothic horror movie anyway: The Night of the Hunter with Robert Mitchum and Lillian Gish, and it's so beautiful (otherwise I'm too squeamish for horror, or rather I take in enough horror from the news to want more as entertainment).

unlabelledView post →The Night of the Hunter (1955) Letterboxd: boxd.it/25HW #moviesky #filmsky The first and only movie by Charles Laughton, who up until that point was mainly known for his acting, was initially a commercial failure. However, over time, people realized just how brialliant it is.

unlabelledView post →I'm always surprised at the professed surprise of people who wonder why they never let Charles Laughton direct another movie after The Night of the Hunter. I mean, you've seen it, right?
unlabelledView post →"The dark adventure of the kids escaping Buddy is fascinating, at one point feeling like The Night Of The Hunter on Sesame Street.

unlabelledView post →Showed THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER to my film students. You could literally see them go from being somewhat bored, thinking it would be an outdated black-and-white film, to getting invested in the story as Robert Mitchum's menacing performance and Charles Laughton's outstanding direction drew them in.
unlabelledView post →Decided to treat myself this evening to a rewatch of THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER (1955). Superb film and a fantastic performance from Robert Mitchum. #FilmSky
unlabelledView post →THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER is incredible. Robert Mitchum is the most sinister motherfucker ever. It is a horrific, downright evil, film that feels like a fairy tale. There’s so much charm and character. This is the sort of movie that makes you feel so many emotions, one right after the other. 🎃📽️

unlabelledView post →The Night of the Hunter (1955). Has there ever been a better film done by someone that only directed one movie? Charles Laughton basically filmed this as a silent German Expressionist movie with sound in 1955. Few have ever been as terrifying as Robert Mitchum in this movie.

unlabelledView post →The Night of the Hunter. 1955. A reminder that Charles Laughton directed one movie, ever. And it wasn’t appreciated until years later because it was so far ahead of its time. A unique film experience and mandatory viewing. #filmsky
