    Children can be both angels and demons, but scientifically speaking, is there really such a bizarre existence as the criminal...

    4.5 Putting aside the performances of that era, it's perfect! Handyman Leroy and this little psychopathic rivalry under the vine is more of an intrigue and temptation between equal-minded adults, too natural. There is no bad seed of right and wrong, and it is all for the purpose. The ending also reflects her paranoia. The film also raises the question of whether there is a link between child crime and...

    Scary basement screams! Great acting! When two tired mothers hugged each other, it was so pitiful, it was all for their children, and the husband was invisible. The mother in the film is not a bad embryo, and it is inherited from one generation to another... There are two endings that can be ended, but it looks like a reshoot.... (To be honest, there is such a natural evil Embryo is indeed hereditary. Teachers hate parents and are afraid of themselves.) (I am most afraid of this kind of fake...

    The new version removes two important contents: the negotiation with the mother of the deceased boy, and the expert's opinion on the bad seed. In general, the two versions are not satisfactory. This one relies too much on performance and is almost reduced to a pure stage play. The new version is as big as the Internet and too straightforward. There are still few people who can surpass the little girl's villain-like performance, and it is chilling in the silence. Bad seed is a very good concept,...

    This film can be called the originator of "Children's Crime". In particular, it skillfully summarizes the causes of this type of crime with hereditary psychology, which is obviously much cleverer than the later "Orphan's Resentment", which was a pseudo-child crime. It's just that the overall can't be separated from the ills of the stage play: a single scene, repeated lines, exaggerated performance style and slow rhythm, and the director's technique is also much clumsier. Patricia McCormack...

    6.1/10. ①The mother and the heroine gradually discovered that her 8-year-old daughter was an anti-social serial killer through a case of a dead person, which made her and the whole family fall into intense psychological struggle and chaos (the heroine even attempted suicide). At the end, the daughter was accidentally struck to death by lightning by the river. ②The story is interesting, some of the compositions are good, the camera movement/scene scheduling is precise and skillful, and the...

    Doesn't anyone think Nancy Kelly is super similar to Susan in Desperate Housewives! ! ! Whether it is appearance, expression, performance style, expression, tone or even voice, there is more than 90% similarity. I even had the illusion that it was the same person... What is their...

    Some sinful seeds are planted before birth and cannot be changed. A man can show his innate desire for crime from a very young age, like those children born blind, except that one cannot see the good and the other cannot see the world. I haven't seen a black and white movie for a long time, the movie is great as a whole, but the ending is a little...

    Not long after the news of the atrocities of a ten-year-old girl in Chongqing came out, it was really fitting to watch this movie by accident. There are some innate or acquired issues that discuss the nature of crime. It's a bit stiff. Drunk Mom did a good job, and the final ending is a bit...

    If it weren't for the preconceivedness of the new version, this one is not bad, the overall characters are more three-dimensional, and there are more explanations for the "bad seed"....

    Very Rare Child Crime Movies in Early Hollywood

    In the early days of Hollywood, there were extremely rare children's crime movies, and even religious metaphors such as demon possession and demon genetic inheritance. The degree of evil is comparable to "The Exorcist" 20 years later and "The Silence of the Lambs" 40 years later. I believe...

    unfeeling person

    The characterization is successful, and everyone has a distinct personality. The little girl's acting skills are very good, and she excels in the harmless performance of humans and animals. Mom is very emotional. At first, she struggled between believing and not believing, and it was painful to...

The Bad Seed quotes

  • Rhoda: Mother, we didn't really have our lunch, because Claude Daigle was drowned.

  • Monica Breedlove: Oh, how wonderful it is to meet such a natural little girl! She knows what she wants and she asks for it! Not like those over-civilized little pests who have to go through analysis before they can even choose an ice cream soda.
