Dark Dream Cinema is a monthly film series devoted to the creeping undercurrents of the arthouse scene, hosted by Michael Morlaine.

“Many great movies are realistic, but The Night of the Hunter is an expressionistic oddity, telling its chilling story through visual fantasy.” Roger Ebert

John and Pearl have a secret, and the Rev. Harry Powell will stop at nothing to find out what it is. From gliding through brackish backwaters to taking shelter in rural safe havens, these two lost lambs venture far and wide to escape the gaze of a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

The sole entry in Charles Laughton’s directorial career, this singular classic provided Robert Mitchum with his defining role and inspired homages in everything from Do the Right Thing to The Simpsons. The crown jewel of American gothic cinema, The Night of the Hunter has earned suitable acclaim as one of the most lush, dreamlike, and visually poetic films ever made. Join us for an evening of iconic imagery you won’t soon forget.
