The Night of the Hunter 2010 Horror Movie Review
Horror movies Review
The Night of the Hunter—incredibly, the only film the great actor Charles Laughton ever directed—is truly a standalone masterwork. A horror movie with qualities of a Grimm fairy tale, it stars a sublimely sinister Robert Mitchum (Cape Fear, The Friends of Eddie Coyle) as a traveling preacher named Harry Powell (he of the tattooed knuckles), whose nefarious motives for marrying a fragile widow, played by Shelley Winters (A Place in the Sun, The Diary of Anne Frank) are uncovered by her terrified young children. Graced by images of eerie beauty and a sneaky sense of humor, this ethereal, expressionistic American classic—also featuring the contributions of actress Lillian Gish (Intolerance, Duel in the Sun) and writer James Agee—is cinema’s quirkiest rendering of the battle between good and evil.

Latest on The Night of the Hunter
In the horror genre, 2011 was a pretty good year. We had some good movies like Insidious, Troll Hunter, Paranormal Activity 3, Fright Night and a few others. We show you what you need to see if you haven’t already.
Scott Derrickson’s Sinister has released their International poster. My feelings are that I do not like the feel of this trailer. I do not get the same extreme sense of fear as before with other released material. I now get the creepy children feeling instead of the foreboding feeling.
Fairy tale themed “Grimm” has been added to the NBC line up. Grimm will air Friday nights at 9/8c.
