Southend CineScene Presents: The Night of The Hunter is set for 5 November 2026 at Beecroft Art Gallery. The film tells the story of a sinister preacher hunting two children who possess knowledge of hidden stolen money. Entry is free.
A sinister preacher hunts two children who know where their father hid stolen money, sending them on a terrifying journey through the night.
Join Southend CineScene for a screening of Charles Laughton’s extraordinary 1955 classic, The Night of the Hunter.
Robert Mitchum gives an unforgettable performance as Harry Powell, a sinister travelling preacher whose knuckles bear the words LOVE and HATE. After learning that two children may know the whereabouts of stolen money, Powell begins a terrifying pursuit through the West Virginia countryside.
Part film noir, part Southern Gothic nightmare and part dark fairy tale, The Night of the Hunter is a uniquely atmospheric piece of cinema. With its stark black-and-white photography, haunting imagery and unforgettable central performance, it has become one of the great cult classics of American film.
