Robert Mitchum in Night of the Hunter
Billed as one of the scariest movies ever made, Night of the Hunter (1955) is certainly chilling. Nobody does menace quite like Robert Mitchum. He plays a psychopathic man of the cloth who wields a switchblade knife like an erect penis. The man has definitely got his wires crossed. Beautifully photographed in black and white, each frame composed magnificently to produce the maximum effect. Highly stylized presentation, more of an arthouse thriller than a run of the mill horror flick. Definitely one of a kind. If you love films, this is one to add to your list.

When I was a kid, there was this one TV station that would run one movie for 5 days, about 4 pm. I watched this one every day after school!!

One of my mom’s favorite movies. Creepy, but very beautiful. It’s also the very first classic Hollywood movie I reviewed if you want to check it out: https://mastermixmovies.wordpress.com/2017/01/29/l-o-v-e-h-a-t-e/
