 Bad Seed review Product Description
THE BAD SEED is a suspenseful thriller about a mother who slowly comes to the incredible conclusion that her 8-year-old daughter might just be responsible for a string of brutal murders. Based on Maxwell Anderson's play, this picture was the inspiration for 1994's THE GOOD SON, as well as the 1985 TV movie of the same name.
The plot of William March's successful novel was tailor made for Hollywood. Combined with beautiful black-and-white photography and fabulous performances, THE BAD SEED is one of the eeriest films of the 20th century. The scientifically dubious theory behind the title is that an evil disposition can be an inherited trait. Patty McCormack plays Rhoda Penmark, a seemingly sweet, beautiful, smart grade school girl who is in attendance at a school picnic in which a classmate dies. ...See Full Description

| Film Noir Classic "Bad Seed"!!!
This movie, "The Bad Seed" is a Film Noir classic, from start to finish. Although it didn't make the AFI's snobby elitist "Top 50 Film Noir Movies" it is still nonetheless a Film Noir classic... it just doesn't fit their little elitist definition of "Film Noir"... Its a MUST SEE film even if you don't know what Film Noir is... it doesn't matter... it appeals to ALL who see it... and many like myself have most of the VERY memorable lines memorized... EVERYTIME I watch it, I love it a bit more! (and I have seen it 48+ times!!!) SO, all I can say is it is worth the paltry sum that it is being sold for and FAR exceeds the so-called "Modern Film Noir" movies that have to show lots of sex, murder, blood, guts, drinking, drugs, etc... (think that movie Big Heat with Kathleen Turner... a good movie, BUT not really a film noir classic....

| Old Style Suspense at it's Best
If you love old movies with suspense, this is the one to watch. I've watched it about 10 times already. Classic overdramatization at its best!!! And an ending to beat all!!

| The best movie of all times!
This is a classic thriller from start to finish. You will come to hate the "darling littlr girl". She is an outstanding actress to be so young. After you watch the movie once you will never want to stop watching it. I have seen it so many times, I practically know the entire movie line by line.
