Details.
Wiki.
Night of the Hunter is a 1991 American television film directed by David Greene starring Richard Chamberlain as a self-styled preacher who is a psychotic serial killer pursuing two children for $50,000 in money stolen by their father after marrying and murdering their widowed mother (Diana Scarwid).
Night of the Hunter is based on Davis Grubb's 1953 novel. Unlike the 1955 version, a film noir directed by Charles Laughton that starred Robert Mitchum as Preacher Harry Powell, the 1991 version is not set during The Great Depression, as is the novel, but in contemporary times. Although contemporary news coverage at the time of the 1991 version's broadcast convey claims by those involved with the production that this version was closer to Grubb's novel than was the 1955 film, it actually takes liberties with Grubb's narrative, unlike Laughton's version, which stuck closely to the original source.
