Review of The Bad Seed (1956) by John P — 25 Aug 2010
This film has a very "Hitchcock" like feel to it. You can tell right from the start that something's not quite right with the bubbly, carefree, innocent daughter, but (ignoring the title of course) you don't know quite what it is.
Of course, as we learn later on, she's really a raging psychopathic murderer, just coming into her prime. The role of mommy's little angel is played brilliantly, and the creepiness of the performance alone makes this film worth watching.
