The Bad Seed
I really like this movie and think it is incredible, how incredible McKenna is in her role.

I am also always so Impressed at how well this movie is made, and how good Rob Lowe is at creating tension to make your heart pump (or at least it makes my heart pump even though I KNOW what happens).

And holy shit, why are people comparing it to Orphan and saying “this wants to be orphan so bad” when if anything Orphan wants to be this so badly. Guys this is based on book from 1954 and a remake of the movie of the same name from 1956. And while I also love Oprhan this is better.

And I love that they brought back the original bad seed from the original movie back into the remake.

Dios, Mckenna es tan buena actriz desde muy pequeña. Creo que eso todos lo sabemos.

Es tan triste que, desde un inicio, su padre haya creído que la única forma de detener todo sea matándola. Todo fruta de la desconfianza y miedo.

idk why but the ending made me cry so much because it would’ve all been fixed if he sent her to a mental hospital and he had no right to try to kill her because she was just a child but she also shouldn’t have walked away Scot free because she is fucked up and evil and this is now one of my favorite movies.
