Washington Post

Richard L. Coe

[The Bad Seed] is a double-decked rouser -- a sock melodrama and an absorbing study in crime.

While revolutionary at the time, the dramatics in the movie miss their mark by today standards.

Evil little girl hides her murderous ways in dated classic.

A near perfect thriller...

Matthew Sorrento

The 'secret' villain is the missing father - or we should say, the mother for trying to child-rear by herself ... The bad seed is dead - but single parents, be warned.
