From the manufacturer

Night of the Hunter title banner: children cower in the shadows of a troubled man
Night of the Hunter cover art: A suspicious girl holding a doll sits on a man's lap, both in shadows

The classic Hollywood psychological thriller

Starring Robert Mitchum in his most notorious role

The Night of the Hunter—incredibly, the only film the great actor Charles Laughton ever directed—is truly a stand-alone masterwork.

A horror movie with qualities of a Grimm fairy tale, it stars a sublimely sinister Robert Mitchum as a traveling preacher named Harry Powell (he of the tattooed knuckles), whose nefarious motives for marrying a fragile widow, played by Shelley Winters, are uncovered by her terrified young children.

Graced by images of eerie beauty and a sneaky sense of humor, this ethereal, expressionistic American classic—also featuring the contributions of actress Lillian Gish and writer James Agee—is cinema’s most eccentric rendering of the battle between good and evil.

Special Edition Features

  • New digital transfer restored by UCLA Film & Television Archive
  • Audio commentary
  • Over two hours of outtakes and behind-the-scenes footage
  • New video interview with Laughton biographer Simon Callow
  • Archival interviews with cast and crew

  • And more
Three scenes: A figure stalks a house, two children's expressionless glare, a man watches her sleep
Love and Hate tatooed across the knuckles of two hands

Product Description

Blu-ray. THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER - incredibly, the only film the great actor Charles Laughton ever directed - is truly a standalone masterwork. A horror movie with qualities of a Grimm fairy tale, it stars a sublimely sinister Robert Mitchum (CAPE FEAR, THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE) as a traveling preacher named Harry Powell (he of the tattooed knuckles), whose nefarious motives for marrying a fragile widow, played by Shelley Winters (A PLACE IN THE SUN, THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK) are uncovered by her terrified young children. Graced by images of eerie beauty and a sneaky sense of humor, this ethereal, expressionistic American classic - also featuring the contributions of actress Lillian Gish (INTOLERANCE, DUEL IN THE SUN) and writer James Agee - is cinema's quirkiest rendering of the battle between good and evil.
