Apologies for the confusion, but the synopsis you mentioned does not relate to the movie "The Night of the Hunter." The movie you are referring to is a different story altogether. "The Night of the Hunter" is a 1955 American thriller directed by Charles Laughton. It follows the story of Harry Powell, a charismatic but sinister preacher who marries a woman named Willa, hoping to find the hidden money her deceased husband left behind.
As the story unfolds, Harry's true nature is revealed, as he becomes increasingly obsessed with obtaining the money. Driven by greed and a thirst for power, Harry targets the widow's two young children, John and Pearl. However, the children, aware of Harry's intentions, go on the run, seeking refuge and escaping his clutches.
While on the lam, the children encounter Rachel Cooper, a strong-willed woman who becomes their protector and mother figure. Together, they face various challenges and embark on a suspenseful and dangerous journey to evade Harry and find a safe haven.
"The Night of the Hunter" explores themes of good and evil, the corrupting nature of power, and the resilience of innocent individuals in the face of danger. It is regarded as a classic film noir that expertly combines elements of suspense, thriller, and horror, creating a haunting and memorable cinematic experience.
