![]() ![]() No, not Little Miss Butter-Wouldn't-Melt-in-Her-Mouth. #The bad seed 2018 movie#I find it amusing that some reviewers were upset by the use of the word **** while tuning into a movie about a little girl who kills everything in sight. The latter also had some good special effects. Even the scenes that were logistically problematic, like the wasp nest in the car and especially the babysitter in the garage bit, were deftly shot and exciting to watch. He should maybe concentrate on directing. Rob Lowe was really too old to play the father of such a young girl, but never mind. I kept thinking that there was going to be a reveal that the dead mother was a bad woman, perhaps executed for her crimes, but, alas. Many of the reviewers here don't seem to realize the ridiculous lightning strike death in the original movie was because the Hayes Office wouldn't allow the film to end like the play did on Broadway, with the mother dying and the daughter living, similar to this remake.) As another reviewer mentioned, the title is meaningless with the change in storyline that doesn't address the idea that evil is in the blood. (The kisses/hugs call and response is how the original play ends. The natural mother/daughter frisson helps build the tension more than the basket-of-kisses father/daughter cliché that we're given here. I think it was a mistake to make the flick about a single father raising his daughter rather than a mother, like the original. One of the best scenes was her practicing being bubbly and sincere in the mirror, then revealing her cold, calculating interior. ![]() ![]() #The bad seed 2018 serial#throw them ALL away! Don't waste your time, watch the original and see what REALLY should happen to future serial killers like her.įirst, McKenna Grace must be a forty year-old actress in a child's body her performance is that good. Oh, and don't get me started on the "Nanny", okayyyy? I mean, how she gon' let that 9-yr old psycho get the drop on her like that when she KNEW WHO/WHAT she was dealing with, as well as what she (Emma) was capable of.Unbelievable.And of course she (Emma) gets away with being a Murderous Mega Brat, instead of being exposed by hidden camera footage (that the Dad could have had installed w/o her knowing) or something.JS Welp, all in all, it was a dud remake, and all of the adults in the film were a joke, so BOO. Especially when he is TOLD by the headmistress that his precious Emma was with the dead boy right before he died? And what about when he finds out that she has that dead kid's medal after all? After she told him and the kid's parent's that she was NOT with him? And her Dad saw that the hornet's nest was missing after being told that the headmistress DIED FROM ONE IN HER CAR? Really? Then he thinks he can just go lay down and catch a couple of winks, LOLOLOL!!!!! JUST. When she starts killing (beginning with the cat, then moving on to her classmate, the headmistress, then her nanny) I was expecting the Dad to get a clue? Like IMMEDIATELY. Hr caters to her every whim, and turns a blind eye to her blatant faults. ![]() Why mess with/up perfection with nonsense? Right from the beginning you can see that Emma/Rhoda is in control of her weak-minded widowed father. I just finished watching this 2018 remake of the 1956 classic, and I am so disappointed. ![]()
