Actor Charles Laughton’s first and only directorial effort, The Night of the Hunter (1955), follows a mysterious preacher with “LOVE” and “HATE” knuckle tattoos on the hunt for $10,000 hidden in a little girl’s doll. Reel Rap puts on their best southern accents to dig into the strange Gothic fantasia and rate the Bible an 8 out of 10.

Also in this episode: smelling salts, reviews of weird and peculiar film reviews and an ice cream-serving family named the Spoons.
