Although this is most often remembered for the "good" vs. "evil" struggle that has been parodied and referenced hundreds of times since, the one part of this darkly gripping film that sticks with me is a relatively simple shot - one of the "Hunter" outside the house as the mother sees him from within the house. It's a shot filled with tension that sums up what the rest of the film is like - taught and gripping throughout.
Meanwhile, the look of the film steals most of the remaining attention - the composition of shots is above par here. Well worth price of admission.
