It ranks 71st in the history of cinema by <span class=\"ACraHRACr0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW1kYi5jb20vZnIvbGlzdC9sczAwMzA3MzYyMy8= bo-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Empire<\/span> magazine, 25th by <span class=\"ACraHRACr0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmZpLm9yZy51ay9zaWdodC1hbmQtc291bmQvZ3JlYXRlc3QtZmlsbXMtYWxsLXRpbWUjcmFuay0yNQ== bo-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sight and Sound<\/span> magazine, and 2nd in the &#8220;100 Essential Films for an Ideal Film Archive&#8221; list published by <span class=\"ACraHRACr0cHM6Ly9mci53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvMTAwX2ZpbG1zX3BvdXJfdW5lX2NpbiVDMyVBOW1hdGhl%3D bo-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cahiers du Cin\u00e9ma<\/span>. This praise is a far cry from the initial reception of the film upon its release.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"bo-h2\">A Resounding Flop<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"bo-p\">Charles Laughton&#8217;s debut feature film, &#8220;The Night of the Hunter,&#8221; premiered in 1955 in the United States and it was a disaster. Shunned by audiences and panned by critics, it was even banned in some American counties for its &#8220;religious immorality.&#8221; The harsh reception was so traumatic for Laughton that he never directed another film again. He passed away in 1962, seven years later, long before film historians reevaluated his work.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"bo-h2\">A Timeless Masterpiece<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"bo-p\">A gothic thriller heavily influenced by expressionist silent cinema, &#8220;The Night of the Hunter&#8221; was simply ahead of its time. Filmed in black and white during an era when studios were transitioning to color, Laughton&#8217;s artistic choice was completely against the grain of contemporary standards, which favored realism and coherence. This was reflected in a review from Harrison\u2019s Reports at the time: <i>This film might appeal to those who frequent art house cinemas in search of original films, but the majority of viewers will see it as a confusing melodrama with disjointed editing.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"bo-p\">Aesthetically &#8220;behind&#8221; by revisiting the codes of silent cinema, the film was morally &#8220;too ahead&#8221; of its time: the story of a serial killer masquerading as a pastor to rob grieving widows and kill their children was shockingly offensive to the audience back then. &#8220;The Night of the Hunter&#8221; faced particular backlash from Catholic (League for Virtue) and Protestant (Protestant Film Council) religious lobbies for daring to portray a negative religious figure, played by an &#8220;attractive&#8221; actor like Robert Mitchum!<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"bo-p\">It must be acknowledged that &#8220;The Night of the Hunter&#8221; was indeed shocking for its time. Dark and enigmatic, this visually stunning thriller features a character of diabolical immorality and was audaciously written like a fairy tale: a story of young children needing to escape a wolf disguised as a family friend. This was likely too revolutionary for its time, something that Charles Laughton greatly regretted during his final years. Fortunately, history has vindicated him.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"bo-p\"><b>If you also want to right this wrong, you have until December 31 to watch The Night of the Hunter on Prime Video.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"bo-p\"><i>At AlloCin\u00e9, we provide over 40 daily articles about film and series news, interviews, streaming recommendations, and fascinating tidbits for movie and series fans. <span class=\"ACraHRACr0cHM6Ly9wcm9maWxlLmdvb2dsZS5jb20vY3AvQ2dvdmJTOHdObmMzTkdScg== bo-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Following AlloCin\u00e9 on Google Discover<\/i><\/span> ensures you explore the riches of a site designed by enthusiasts for enthusiasts every day.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>\n    <\/div>\n<p>\n<\/article>\n\n\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto kksr-align-left kksr-valign-bottom\"\n    data-payload='{&quot;align&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;7775&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;valign&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;ignore&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;reference&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;legendonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;readonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;score&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;starsonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;best&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;greet&quot;:&quot;Rate this post&quot;,&quot;legend&quot;:&quot;0\\\/5 - (0 votes)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;22&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;70 Years Ago, This 4.3-Rated Cult Thriller Bombed So Badly It Ended the Director\\u0026#039;s Career!&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;_legend&quot;:&quot;{score}\\\/{best} - ({count} {votes})&quot;,&quot;font_factor&quot;:&quot;1.25&quot;}'>\n            \n<div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-active\" style=\"width: 0px;\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n                \n\n<div class=\"kksr-legend\" style=\"font-size: 17.6px;\">\n            <span class=\"kksr-muted\">Rate this post<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cinematic gem \u201cThe Night of the Hunter\u201d will be leaving Prime Video on December 31.
