When a father’s last words to his young son and daughter concern the secret location of a stolen fortune, psychotic preacher Harry Powell decides to do whatever it takes – even kill – to learn its hiding place. When he marries their fragile widowed mother, the children realize their only chance for survival lies on the run. This 1955 noir classic is now considered to be one of the scariest films of all-time. “Chilling.” (Roger Ebert) “Shocking.” (The Village Voice) “A terrifying masterpiece.” (TV Guide)

This is a good quality made film with great actors. A jewel of a find.
Lillian Gish was a great artist…
… Good old 2nd amendment… Hear ye, hear ye; Don't even think about it…
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly AND The Night of the Hunter made FREE on the SAME day by YouTube? Well, this is a good start to Black History Month on YouTube.
I have this film on DVD – so there is no need for me to watch it here on YouTube. For every one else, you will not be disappointed when
watching this movie. It will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. One of my favorite movies in my collection and it is
my hope that it will encourage new viewers to some of the lesser known films of the past.
God bless you for sharing this work of art! Brilliant for it's time!! A classic! Gracias
This movie is absolutely superb and it's a freebie!
I have watched this movie over and over again, Robert Mitchum does his best acting scenes! But, the music is the scariest thing about the movie. Scary!
What a bunch of rubes those townspeople; how gullible can people get.
Night of the Hunter is now recognized as one of the greatest films ever made but at the time bombed both critically and commercially on its initial release and the disappointment was so great that Charles Laughton never directed again. Such a shame to imagine what else he could have done, but then it also makes this "more special." Easily one of the scariest movies ever made to boot
아직 안 잡아 갑니까?
This music creeped me out when I first saw this eerie movie in 1955 and it still creeps me out but in a nice way.
I hate this movie. I loved Mitchum but not in this.
And I was just looking for this on Netflix and Amazon prime…. thank you
We're Love This Movie

"JOHN DOESN'T MATTER!"
In this and "Cape Fear, Mitchum was terrifying.
This is one of the greatest movies of all time

"Leaning…leaning…."
And when she sings in response, you know which one is stronger.
And Mitchum had such a beautiful singing voice.
So glad to find this movie! What a fabulous cast!
When I was that age, getting a watch was your first passage into manhood.
James Agee did a magnificent job of writing this play. Charles Laughton was extremely creative as well in his direction. All the actors were superb. 👍🌹
Shelly Winters gives a very "fluid" performance in this movie, just as she did in "A Place In The Sun" and "Poseidon Adventure".☺
Shelly winters an Robert mitchum you can't go wrong what a great movie
an evil tree can not bring forth good fruit
That was the best movie I've seen in a long time!
I’m 40 minutes in and can’t tell whose worse, the preacher or Mrs. Spoons. What an opinionated Karen nosey bitch. And of course she thinks about “canning” in bed because her simp husband is so turned-off by her that her can’t give her what she needed 40 years earlier. Really, who’s worse, the man acting, or her for her self righteous opinions that cause such divisions? The ignorant old folks every neighborhood has and hates.
An underrated classic!
Two of my favorite suspense/terror films, and they both starred Robert Mitchum. "The Night of the Hunter" & "Cape Fear". They were imo masterpieces of the genre. Please stay healthy and safe! Pax
MY ALL TIME FAVORITE 😍😍…THANKS FOR THE VIEWING 💝💝 😄!!
The bullfrog, the tortoise, the rabbits. All co-stars!
I’ve seen this on AMC. It’s ahead of its time, and even though I have seen many horror movies, this show is very chilling. Especially in its era. Mitchum plays such a great evil.
If didn't know before watching, I would have guessed this was directed by David Lynch. This falls somewhere between Eraserhead and The Elephant Man, with shades of Blue Velvet.
At least now I know where David Lynch came up with the intro to Dune. This movie is designed and performed like a surreal stage play. It's more poetry than conventional narrative. I can't quite decide whether it is masterful or amateurish, as it displays elements of both. I guess it really depends on the viewer's point of view and expectations. "I am serious, and don't call me Shirley".
Even the stupid commercials can not ruin this great movie.
This movie left an impression on me the first time I saw it and it still does to this day. The story, the lighting and the acting, are brilliant. This is one film where black and white added to the atmosphere and I don't think it would play the same in color. What a masterpiece.
He would have got along great now a days.
One of the greatest films ever made. Too bad Charles Laughton did not direct another film.
watch it, very entertaining
Very pretty scenery and a little bit over dramatic….but worth watching a few times…….Shelly in the river is very spooky.
Such an intense movie. Incredible. 4👍.
It is a highly watchable flick!
Best Film of the 50s
this is one of the best movies I've ever seen with Shelley Winters and I couldn't stop laughing with Robert Mitchum
This was an amazing movie. Laughton was way ahead of his time. Only Orson Welles mixed with Lovecraft can compare.
Lillian Gish was a blessing to mankind!
