In Reply to: Does anyone else find "Night of the Hunter" to be unbearably expressionistic? posted by Abel McCain on April 26, 2009 at 15:07:01:
This movie always scared me as a kid. I also think-like most other movies-that it works best in a theater, where cinematic "impressionism" is oriented for best effect. I love being enveloped by the theatrical experience. It's so easy to be distracted by everything when I'm just watching TV. Though, don't let me get started on the noisemaking morons in theaters. Laughton did a pretty nice job on this, maybe setting trends for later American southern gothic themed thrillers films, like Cape Fear, and To kill a Mockingbird (the Boo Radley subplot). I still like it, but find it only tolerable on the idiot box.
