## Description

Rachel Penmark is such a different little girl. So calm, so well-mannered -- so deadly. The Bad Seed had been a novel, a Broadway play and a landmark 1956 movie before this film brought the harrowing story of a demented child's secret trail of violence to a new generation. Blair Brown (Fringe) heads a stellar cast as Rachel's gentle mother Christine, who gradually discovers the truth about her psychopathic daughter -- and about the horrors of her own forgotten childhood. As Christine fits the puzzle pieces together, tension and menace build into a taut cocoon of overpowering dread. And, unlike the earlier movie, this production includes the original ending, a chilling denouement considered too shocking for '50s audiences.

Review: Great movie - Loved this movie glad I was able to find it on DVD
Review: Chilling: Evil Comes in Many Disguises - I admittedly had misgivings about buying this DVD, but those doubts were dispelled. "The Bad Seed" is a suspenseful, riveting story that explores the theme of evil and the dilemma of a mother torn between love and revulsion. Christine Penmark is a typical mother who strives to raise her young daughter, Rachel, in an environment of love. Rachel is beautiful, sweet, and smart. However, her kind-seeming exterior masks a coldblooded heart. Christine discovers, to her horror, that her daughter is a ruthless psychopath. Many people neglect this movie version in favor of the one starring Patty Maacormack and Nancy Kelly. Both versions are wonderful in their own ways. I appreciate this TVM version because the acting is not overly dramatic. Rachel is portrayed wonderfully by Carey Wells, a young girl whose soft voice is chilling as she threatens the character of Leroy, (m Lynne Redgrave is fantastic as the Penmark's landlady, Monica Breedlove, and Blair Brown brings warmth and heartbreaking empathy to the role of Christine. Give this gripping psychological thriller a chance. God bless you all. (Please check out my fantasy novel, Crimilia, now available on this site. Thank you).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Distant memory
*by H***T on April 10, 2022*

Saw as a kid, about the same age as the girl on the movie. Talk about a freeze out. Cold, evil little miss, but she knows her stuff and will get what she wants at no cost. Forgot how it turned out at the end. I remember as a kid the scenes with the conflicting handy man and how they hated each other but other than that the movie was a distant memory until I found it again on Amazon! Better than the other version I think because that was my era when it was made.
