Seen them both but a long time ago. Both versions left me feeling totally chilled and shaken. Will have to watch them again!

Definitely creepy no doubt...and then De Niro's Max Cady finally goes down but not before spewing demonic tongues. Not no Spielberg either one

Envious. I haven't sat down to watch a movie in one sitting in a very long time it seems. Cape Fear's a classic. Definitely worth a rewatch.

I love the original "Cape Fear" wth Mitchum, Peck, Polly Bergan and Patty Duke. What a cast and the use of black and white was perfect.

Did you ever see Robert Mitchum in "Night of the Hunter," it's the only film Charles Laughton ever directed and it's like an eerie black and white tone poem.

Yes. Great and creepy film. One I'll watch again for sure.

Mitchum keep singing this song, "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms," as he rides his horse and frogs croak on lily pads. It's impossibly beautiful and eerie.

Yes, I remember. Wasn't too long ago I saw it for the first time. Two years maybe. Really great. Be fun to see it at an old movie theater
