I’d never even heard of Night of the Hunter (1955) before seeing it on the list of 102 Movies you must see before…. Shame on me, it’s wonderful. Standouts…

• The “LOVE/HATE” tattoos on Powell’s hands

• Lillian Gish with a shotgun

• The bedroom which looked like some sort of cathedral

• Powell singing that damn song all the time - creepy.

• Underwater shot of Shelley Winter’s corpse - even more creepy.

It’s a terrifying, stylish nightmare of a film.
