		I think it's fair to say 1955's The Night of the Hunter is one of the oddest films to ever come out of Hollywood.
		The Night of the Hunter is the one and only film directed by actor Charles Laughton (Mutiny on the Bounty, 1935).
		A kind of weird cross between noir and fantasy, it's a movie he described as "a nightmarish sort of Mother Goose tale." That's a pretty accurate description.

		After a number of sucessful productions, it was evident that he was an exceptional theatre director, and his manager, the vigorous, abrasive young agent Paul Gregory, determined that the time was ripe for him to direct on film.

		Forget The Others and The Deep End (which veered toward strained dramatics), The Night of the Hunter is by far the scariest movie I’ve seen so far this year.
		Luckily, The Night of the Hunter, Charles Laughton’s first and final directing gig, has been restored by the UCLA Film and Television Archive and is being re-released in October 2001.
		Seeing The Night of the Hunter for the first time, I was amazed at how much it crackled with wicked wit and fright and how much intensity was intact.

	THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER
		Charles Laughton's ``The Night of the Hunter'' (1955) is one of the greatest of all American films, but has never received the attention it deserves because of its lack of the proper trappings.
		And many great movies are realistic, but ``Night of the Hunter'' is an expressionistic oddity, telling its chilling story through visual fantasy.
		Soon Willa Harper is dead, seen in an incredible shot at the wheel of a car at the bottom of the river, her hair drifting with the seaweed.

		Laughton's shadowy compositions and omniscient perspective (see the film's transfixing point-of-view shots) suggests that the film's characters are in the presence of God himself.
		Laughton's delirious compositions evoke a Grimm landscape where love is constantly and erratically at war with the forces of hate.
		Perverse yet remarkably life-affirming, Night of the Hunter may be the best film ever made about spiritual perseverance.

	notcoming.com \| The Night of the Hunter
		Charles Laughton’s only film as director, The Night of the Hunter is a strange, mysterious object in the landscape of fifties American cinema.
		A study, through the figure of the evil serial-killer preacher Harry Powell, in the horror to be found in man, it is not played as a horror film as such, but rather some kind of bizarre fairy tale.
		In this prologue we first get a song evoking the twin themes of dreaming and a child’s fear of the dark (“the hunter in the night”), and then from Miss Cooper a Bible lesson warning against “false prophets” and teaching that no good can ever come from evil.

	Night of the Hunter
		Though it enjoys a reputation as one of the most frightening films ever made, The Night of the Hunter offers so many layers of enjoyment even after countless viewings that critics' refusal to categorize it as a horror film almost seems understandable.
		As visually remarkable as any film ever made, Night of the Hunter uses rich fl and white imagery to stir up primal, haunting imagery that must have made Jean Cocteau jealous.
		The chilling tableau of one character chained underwater to a submerged car is just one highlight; other unforgettable touches include Harry's shadow consuming John as he tells Pearl a bedtime story and the suspenseful basement sequence, in which Harry first corners the two children.

		Charles Laughton never directed another film, perhaps because THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER is such an eloquent statement of false romanticism, and such a complete aesthetic vision in itself that it required no further elaboration.
		For a single moment in NIGHT OF THE HUNTER, each gave voice to the other’s singleness of purpose and strange integrity.

	Gerald Peary - film reviews - The Night of the Hunter
		In The Night of the Hunter, the protector is a godmother elderly lady, Miss Cooper (Lillian Gish), who takes in lost children and they become part of her "coop";they strut through the streets in a row like little peppers.
		Miss Cooper is played by the one-time D.W. Griffith silent star (The Birth of a Nation, Orphans of the Storm, etc.), and her appearance in The Night of the Hunter is total enchantment.
		Posited as the antidote to Powell's devilish religiosity, Miss Cooper is pure Christian charity, and the scene in which she and that minister of hate clash with dueling hymns to God is a thrilling manichean battle of wills.
