Night of the Hunter

Directed by Charles Laughton and starring Robert Mitchum in one of his most sinister and villainous roles, this legendary masterpiece of American cinema blatantly sets forces of good and evil in stark opposition. Night of the Hunter is a chilling thriller-fantasy, telling the story of psychopathic preacher Harry Powell, a truly terrifying, sleepy-eyed, diabolical, dark-souled, self-appointed preacher with psychotic, murderous tendencies in pursuit of $10,000 in cash.
