jacobjohntaylor1 This is a very scary movie. It has great story line. It has great acting. It has great special effects. It is scarier then The Shinning and that is not easy to do. This is a very scary movie. 5.3 is a good ratting. But this is such a great film that 5.3 is underrating it. I give it 9. Because it is very scary. This is scarier then A Nightmare on elm street and that is not easy to do. This is scarier then Friday the 13th V a new beginning and that is not easy to do. This is scarier then Halloween resurrection could ever be. Do not watch this movie alone it is very scary.

Steven Place I give this movie a two, but only because the cast interviews make it interesting. The interviews help to lay out the plot of what seems to be a different and more compelling movie. I wouldn't recommend that you waste your time with this movie. The hype of this movie and the reviews on the box are inaccurate, I couldn't wait for it to be over as I kept waiting for it to get better. The cast is good, the plot is good but it lacks the suspense that a thriller should contain. As for comparing it to the Orphan, there is nothing to compare. If this movie was done right, it would have no resemblance to the Orphan because the plot is different, but as luck would have it, it appears to be a cheap knock off with a slight twist.

Jay Harris Barbara Stepanksky directed & co-wrote this little thriller with Alison Lee Bingeham. They wisely took plot developments from a few older familiar film PLUS a character from the classic. THE BAD SEED.The cast is consists mainly of 5 people, mainly they are from various Television & cable shows. It is almost a large one set film,(A near deserted auto Junk yard.)A recent widowed women, a late-teen aged son & daughter. This three-some move in with her quirky brother (owner of the junk yard ). these 4 nice people are trying to cope when a 13 year old young girl enters there lives..As I said above,. BAD SEED time again.The cast consists of Melora Walters, William Mapother, Jackson Rathbone,Joanna Bradley & Sofia Vassiliva. All 5 are first rate.It is a well done minor b-movie, Since there are no explosions or naked scenes It was released direct to DVD.I think this film deserved a better fate. See it & I think you will agree.Ratings: *** (out of 4) 87 points (out of 100) IMDb 8( Out of 10)

IMDBer100575 I watched this for fun, trying to get the first review in. It's just another mediocre evil child movie.The acting is good and the evil child indeed gets your blood boiling. But what drives this movie, for me, is the ineptitude of the family. How did they survive the death of their father and stresses of the aftermath and still be so incapable in life? The mood of the movie was good. The pace was slow and for a long time, you wondered what the hell was going on in the movie and then boom! You realize what's wrong with this evil child.Emotionally, I did get upset and angry. I never got scared, which is what a horror movie should do. So as a horror movie, the writers failed. As a thriller, they succeeded, I think.What I really liked about this one is the history of the storyline. Most evil child movies just explain that the evil child is bad. This one tries to explain that the child was emotionally hurt and it drove her to be the way she is. Is it possible? I'm not at all convinced that the children portrayed in these movies are capable of half the stuff they do, but hey...it's fun to watch.If you're bored of PvP'ing in WoW or if there's nothing else on cable TV, you should give this movie a try. However, don't expect something spectacular. This movie is mediocre at best.
