I watched the first couple of episodes of Dune the mini series and I'm sorry it wasnt to my taste I didnt like what they had done with it but I think I have overlooked the sequels to the book.

Another good example of Bad Seed movies is The Masters of Horror episode Pro-Life.

I did not like the costumes and mood of the miniseries, but I think it told more of the story than the movie. It was far less artistic, but it lacked in atmosphere, however it stayed truer to the book, however the Lynch movie stayed true to the Spirit of the Dune book instead. Or at least that is how I see it.

As for Bad Seed movies, you can not overlook the Addams Family movies, it might not be horror, however the Addams kids, especially Wednesday are delightfully spooky, and a baby that breath fire is not to be ignored either. The Addams kids spend their days trying to kill one another and loves to scare the neighbors. There is one thing I did not like though. In Family Values Wednesday get a boyfriend, a little outcast boy, their relationship is a sort of important part of the movie. Now at the very end she kills him, scares him to death, for no apparent reason. Now I think this was completely out of character as while we have seen Wednesday get violent with her brother, though the entire family seam to possess some sort immortality so he never really get hurt, and with those that cross her, she have never, not in the TV series and not in the movies been portrayed as randomly evil or violent so why would she try to scare to death a boy that she likes?

Also you have the movie Orphanage, with the little boy with the sack over his head. He is creepy like hell, and that whole movie is just great. I think that movie should be mentioned in this thread if it have not already.
