Write about a film or book that has stayed with you.
This is going to be the only thing I do today part 2 of the blog will be out tmmrw. I have watched a ton of movies and read some new books. I want to write about a movie today. As a usual tradition, I watch scary movies in October. I did not do a good job of watching movies in a chronological order however there was a movie that I watched called The Night of the Hunter. It is about siblings who lost their parents one to jail and one because she married a man who she thought was a priest but really a con man. The dad of the kids robbed a bank and ran back home and hid the money in the young girl's stuffed animal and only told the son. The son swore to never tell anyone where the money was and he told his sister. The priest tries to find the money by preaching to their mom and their mom ends up moving the con man / priest in and the con man killed the mom and pushed her into the river. The kids run away and they found a place to go where they would be safe and in the end the con man / priest was hung.
I may not be doing a good job describing it but I liked this movie because of how the con man / priest was just evil. There is no back story, no reason just because. Simply put he was the devil and he was not ashamed. I enjoyed the way it was shot. I am I going to attach the trailer of the movie.
I wonder why I feel more about things of darker narrative. Why I feel safe in the uncanny and the weird and in love with the unknown.
