Something I almost forgot to mention Was a favorite line in the film Night of the Hunter. This is when Johns drunkard uncle has seen his mothers body underwater and he is speaking to the photo of his deceased wife.
He says, "the way her throat was slit right open like a second smile". I just really thought that was great imagery.
I always adore diologue in the film that adds an image to your mind without showing viewers. I think it gives greater impact.
Have you ever seen The Most Dangerous Game? Its a 1924 screen adaptation of a short story. Its one of my favorites. The story is basically about a hunter and his game. What i love of course is that the game is what he plays and what he hunts(or in this case who) and I made a few connections. Neither of our villains are in any way remorseful for the things they have done. And they do infact hunt. Though our pastor seems to only hunt gullable/ vulnerable women.
Are there any other movies that you have connected to the film?
Is there any scene that reminds you of other villians?.
I tend to appreciate and show appreciation of things like what you've quoted. They add that part in the scene at the perfect moment I think. In all seriousness, it quells a lot for the reader from subsequent scenes.
