This isn’t the scariest scene, in my opinion, from “Night of the Hunter” but it depicts some creepiness nonetheless.
Robert Mitchum plays a conman-psycho who has issues with sex in this film, the only one ever directed by actor Charles Laughton. Shot in a surreal fashion probably best suited for a children’s fantasy, it’s creepy. The scenes from Mitchum and Shelley Winters, who just wants to consummate her marriage, is painful to watch but I couldn’t find the eeriest clip, which has Winters sitting in a car at the bottom of a the river.
But this isn’t bad.
Watch this movie as soon as possible if you haven’t already.
