Of course, nothing beats the 1956 original version of "The Bad Seed." However, this one doesn't trail to far behind it! I remember watching this on TV when I was about 5 or 6 years old and it stayed in my mind ever since then.
After years and years of searching for it on DVD, I finally found it, however, it was only a copy! About 5 years after, Warner Bros finally released it as part of their "Archive Collection." So, i bought it again and it is of great audio and video quality in comparison to the copy i had first bought.
Honestly, I feel that this movie does not get the credit it deserves. For it's time, (the mid 80's,) and being a Made for TV movie, I think it's a masterpiece! I just don't understand why it took an extremely long time to surface on DVD? Oh well, it's available now and that's what matters!
