The Night of the Hunter: movie by Charles Laughton



 This is a dark, chilling and disturbing tale of a hypocritical religious serial killer. Just because it is an old movie and filmed in a cinematic, "artsy" style does NOT justify this film's inclusion on a school curriculum, at junior level. Who wants to leave these disturbing images embedded on a yong person's mind??  This is the kind of movie we, as teachers, would advise parents to protect their young people from watching!

I am not happy to think of my children watching this movie in school.
