Bad Seed Cliches
Having watched Orphan recently, I started thinking about certain cliches in this type of movie. Three I thought of:
The parent who is the first to suspect Bad Seed of wrongdoing will have some history of instability to be sure everyone else thinks they're imagining things.
The property of Bad Seed's family will have some extremely dangerous feature; a well, a deep lake, a treehouse, a barn with a loft etc.
A helpless child (usually a sibling of Bad Seed) will inexplicably be left alone with Bad Seed well after suspicions have fallen on them.
