Review: Has Stood The Test Of Time! Bad Seed=Best Movie! - The Bad Seed [This original 1956 version] has been just about my all-time favorite movie throughout my life, since I first saw it as a teen 40 years ago. First off, it, like many other old B&W movies, is like a time capsule. It accurately portrays a time in the recent American past, when a genuine genteelness and civility existed in spades in most places; a time when one-income families were the rule, and cops were not militarized, and children played in the street..... Just seeing the portrayal of of that time period, is worth watching any movie for! But, in addition to spending your viewing time being transported back into that world, with a movie such as this, you are also treated to a superb , which will entertain you and make you think, and even offer some grins. It is not just the died-in-the-wool simple formula "how did it happen?"- but rather a gradual reveal of a multi-faceted plot and the many tendrils which support it- and all performed by superb players (almost all of whom were also in the prior Broadway play version) and masterfully crafted with exacting attention to detail and craftsmanship by all involved at every level of production. In addition to the aesthetic values of this film, the many interesting and unexpected twists and reveals as the story progresses, as well as the unexpected ending, combine to make this a movie that I have never tired of- but which rather I always enjoy watching immensely. It's a rather long movie, but the time just flies by- even after you're familiar with it; and there is no dead space or wasted time- nothing that you'd ever want to skip over; not a moment is wasted. There are only a handful of movies in existence of this caliber- and this is the cream of that crop. I especially enjoy the performances of Evelyn Varden as the quintessential good-natured landlord/friend/"aunt" we all wish we had; Eileen Heckart as the grieving, drunken mother of the dead boy, and most of all, the great Henry Jones as Leroy The Handyman, and taunter of Rhoda. Simply brilliant! This was the pinnacle of Hollywood.
Review: Rewatch this classic movie - it's excellent. - Last night I watched the classic movie "The Bad Seed" for the first time in decades, and it didn't disappoint. The acting is uniformly great; the handyman in particular is very believably creepy, and the girl's mother is quite tragic and real. Of course, the little girl is the star, and (SPOILER) she's a classic sociopath. The idea of an ?8-yr-old girl being a serial murderer was probably unique at the time that this movie was made, and it's still not a common theme. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie, and I especially recommend it to anyone who likes a good villain in a movie.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic.
*by P***S on March 3, 2026*

This is a classic movie. It's dated, of course, considering how long ago it was made, but still a classic, and one of those films you remember.
