Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Previously adapted as a 1954 stage play and a 1956 feature film, The Bad Seed saw its next incarnation in 1985 with this ABC Made-for-TV Movie written by George Eckstein and directed by Paul Wendkos.This version modernizes the story in terms of setting and backgrounds, although the actual plot isn't altered that much. The most notable change is that our murderous little girl is now named Rachel instead of Rhoda.Blair Brown stars as Christine Penmark, with Carrie Wells as Rachel, Lynn Redgrave as Monica Breedlove, David Carradine as Leroy Jessup, Richard Kiley as Richard Bravo, and David Ogden Stiers as Emory Breedlove.

comment
Antagonistic Offspring: Rachel, who later turns out to be a cold, remorseless psychopath. note  Though nowadays, the use of the term "psychopath" to describe a child would be considered inappropriate in most clinical circles. But then again many real clinical circles haven't treated nine year olds with multiple homicides on their record either.

Adults Are Useless: Almost all of the adults buy Rachel's act; the children in her school know there's something wrong there and usually avoid her.
