I enjoy all versions of "The Bad Seed," but this one has always been my absolute favorite. I thought Carrie Wells did a great job in the role as Rachel Penmark. She is very talented, charismatic, and so adorable. Blair Brown was wonderful as the sympathetic mother who was torn between the love for her daughter and the discovery of her true nature. Blair Brown and Carrie Wells actually looked like they were mother and daughter. Great casting. David Carridine, Lynn Redgrave, David Odgen Stiers, Anne Haney, Richard Kiley and everyone was great. Just an excellent cast. It's a shame this movie is so underrated. I think it should be shown more on television so more people can know more about it. It's definitely worth checking out.
