PRESENTED ON 16MM! This Halloween season, beware of children who are too good to be true.
Before The Omen, before Village of the Damned, before every pint-sized terror to grace the screen, there was Rhoda Penmark. Mervyn LeRoy’s The Bad Seed shocked 1950s audiences with its chilling tale of an angelic-looking little girl who may, in fact, be pure evil.
Adapted from the hit Broadway play and William March’s novel, this psychological horror landmark blurs the line between melodrama and menace, powered by unforgettable performances and one of the creepiest child villains in film history.
Don’t miss this rare 16mm presentation of a horror classic that set the standard for “evil child” cinema.
Air Force Colonel Kenneth Penmark and his wife, Christine, adore their daughter Rhoda, despite her secret tendency for selfishness. Christine keeps her knowledge of her daughter's darker side to herself, but when a schoolmate of Rhoda's dies mysteriously, her self-deception unravels.
