This movie was great. I can understand why people don't like it. It doesn't have a huge all-star cast. It's not super bloody and the plot is obvious. But looking past that, this was a fantastic movie. The best part (for me anyway) was seeing Patty McCormack at it again. For horror movie buffs, McCormack started in the original "The Bad Seed" as the adorable Rhoda. If you haven't seen the original, I urge that you do before you watch Rob Lowe on Lifetime. (McCormack will also be in the new Bad Seed FYI) So this movie really felt like an older Rhoda just doing what she does best. Give it a try. If you want blood, monsters, sex, curse words, etc.THIS IS NOT YOUR MOVIE! Other than that you should try it.
