- Details
- Genre: Thriller
- 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.

The final film from director Stanley Kubrick is an eerily detached exploration of eroticism and obsession, based on the 1926 German novella "Dream Story" by Arthur Schnitzler. An argument on fidelity with his wife Alice (Nicole Kidman) sends Dr. Bill Harford (Tom Cruise) wandering into the Manhattan streets and into a variety of sexually-charged scenarios, culminating in a visit to a secret, upper-class orgy that could have dangerous consequences. Sydney Pollack, Todd Field, Marie Richardson, Alan Cumming also star. 159 min.
