Movie Reviews of The Bad Seed
Movie Review: Captivating
Summary: 5 Stars
When asked the movie from childhood I remember best, this is the one. The Birds, The Blob,
even Baby Jane and Sweet Charlotte did not have the impact of Patty McCormack's stellar performance in this movie. Maybe after seeing it was when I became terrified of going in our farmhouse basement...and lightning.
Perhaps it even influenced my interest in mental illness and led me to work 20 yrs. in a state mental hospital!
I watched it as an adult and was still captivated by the quality of the performances as well as the B&W photography. A must see.
Movie Review: Bad Seed
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a movie that ought to be approved for public school children from ages 9-14 to see in a curriculum based guidance lesson. Eventhough Rhoda's personality was based on genetics, it is a personality prevalent in many children today. Rhoda actually did the murders, but for younger bullies in schools today, the potential for murder is there and may not be genetic, just a social imbalance that could be remedied through educating problems with more realistic examples. The Bad Seed is a perfect example of how a personality is off balance with the real world.Movie Review: Inherited...yes! Thank You!
Summary: 5 Stars
I wish I would've seen this before I had written a paper for my psychology class on Environment vs. Heredity. I've always been a firm believer that people are who they are mainly thanks to heredity, with the environment being mearly an influence.
That issue aside, this is a great film that was beyond its time for sure. The character development is exemplary, and it manages some genuine chills. All fans of psychological horror should familiarize themselves with this doozy (and the likewise brilliant, slightly more disturbing "The Other."
Movie Review: educational standpoint
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are teaching media concepts (lighting, drama, characters, play, scenes) then this is a great movie to complement your lesson. As a high-school teacher for English foundations, I try my best to expose my students to the literature their peers in regular English classes receive. I must utilize movies as a visual aide supplement to help them connect with the characters, setting, dialogue... I strongly recommend using this dvd to support your curriculum to teach on all levels of student learning (auditory, kinesthetic, visual).Movie Review: Kids are evil too!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is such a cool movie. I first saw it on AMC or some other cable channel about 15 years ago. It was one of those things you flip on for a minute because it sounds interesting and end up watching the whole thing. I've seen it several times since then, and recommended it to many people. I am a big fan of horror movies, and psychological/suspense movies. And this is one of the best. Not gory in any way, but creepy to the max. The original "evil child who looks angelic" movie. A must-have for any serious movie collector.
