Die Nacht des Jägers

The villain, Harry Powell, feels larger than life yet deeply rooted in human fears. I wonder what influenced the author to craft such an iconic villain.

The way their vulnerability is portrayed made me root for them even as the story took dark turns. How did others connect with their innocence amidst chaos?

The landscape feels almost like a character itself, adding to the story’s tension. I’m curious whether the setting was chosen for its symbolic weight or for its atmosphere.
