It's not only a great horror movie, it's a damn good movie, period. Robert Mitchum's preacher is a chilling portrayal, a true monster. - neverending

Not only a true pioneer classic for the sub-genre of evil-child movies but as a film, in terms of making, characterization & a theme that was way ahead of its time, The Bad Seed is a much deserving film to be in any greatest lists for 50s Hollywood masterpieces. It's always a great challenge to tell such a sensitive story within a limited set up & few characters and the director Mervyn Leroy did an excellent job in creating an utterly gripping atmosphere where we see a psychological cat & mouse game between a helpless mother & her evil little girl. The very young Patty McCormack playing the title character Rhoda Penmark was a remarkable delightful watch. - roshiq

Quote:
It's a great example of gothic horror. Anthony Quinn's performance was quality and the atmosphere and set designs were amazing. - Straker
