A rare blend of fairy tale and psychological thriller, The Night of the Hunter (1955) delivers one of the most terrifying villains in film history. Robert Mitchum plays the sinister Reverend Harry Powell, a self-proclaimed preacher who marries a widow for hidden loot—and terrorizes her children when they refuse to tell him where it is.
Visually bold and narratively daring, this cult classic explores innocence, evil, and the resilience of childhood. Charles Laughton's only directorial effort, the film has become a critical favorite and a staple of film study for its style and influence.
Part of our Fall into Film Thursday night series. Doors open at 6:30 PM; the film begins at 7:00 PM. Tickets are $5 at the door; members attend free.
Experience it on the big screen—where shadows loom largest.
