Dans les années 1930, en Virginie-Occidentale, le long de l'Ohio un tueur en série quitte le lieu de son dernier crime. Il s'agit de Harry Powell, un prédicateur misogyne féru de couteaux à cran d'arrêt. Il voyage à travers tout le pays, épouse des veuves puis les tue, prétextant la volonté de Dieu.

The film's striking use of light and shadow, along with its haunting atmosphere, are consistently praised. While the plot is considered simple by some, the film's execution and the chilling portrayal of a murderous preacher make it a memorable cinematic experience.
