Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It's the most haunted and dreamlike of all American films, a gothic backwoods ramble with the Devil at its heels.
– Tom Huddleston,

fresh:
All this has been crisply compacted into clear screen drama by the late James Agee and it is put forth under the direction of Mr. Laughton in stark, rigid visual terms.
– Bosley Crowther,
