Night of th' Hunter

Night of the Hunter, 1955. I think it was remade into a TV movie in the 90s with Richard Chamberlain. I have nothing against Chamberlain, but ugh.

I understand commercial considerations are what they are, but I've always thought that movies with clever ideas that are poorly-executed are what should be getting remade, preferably better of course, the second time around. But who listens to me?
