No, as we say here in Australia, "he was squirted up against a fence and left to 'hatch out' in the sun."

@Dyl1983 Perhaps someone may like to send a bottle or two of the Jonestown Kool-aid as a Birthday gift?

Seems like the evil live forever.

And the sooner the better imo.

Cancer would be better.

I just have this vision of Pat wandering around in the dark for all of eternity alone calling "God. God. Where are you?"

That is STILL one creepy movie!

@The-Krzyz Then there was also the 'sort of' remake "The Good Son".

@snytiger6 I usually find most remakes and/or sequels disappointing efforts to cash in on an earlier success. Didn’t know about “Good Son,” but the reviews I just saw were uniformly terrible. One critic wrote it off as “Home Alone” meets “Misery!”

@snytiger6 "The Bad Seed"was good and "The Good Son" was bad.

@barjoe Well done!

@The-Krzyz I enjoyed both movies. They were different and each had their own good points. However "The Bad Seed" was definitely the better of the two. However, I think if people had never seen "The Bad Seed", then "The Good Son" would have had a better reception. It was a good movie, but just not as good as the original, and it took the child actor from "Home Alone" to play a very dark and evil character, and people tend to like their actors to play similar characters. "The Good Son" wasn't the cute shild from Home Alone, and viewers felt betrayed.

However, I think it shows a range for Macaulay Culkin, and shows he isn't just a cute kid but a good actor.

@snytiger6 It’s been a few years since my last viewing of “Bad Seed,” but I found the most memorable — and tragically complex — character, and the best performance, was that delivered by Nancy Kelley as the mother. Won her a Tony on stage an an Oscar nod from the Academy for the film. Hauntingly intense!

The Bad Seed was and still is a masterpiece.

Although it worked well for the time, today, people generally understand that psychopathy is not really a inherited trait. For the same reason, the comedy "Arsenic and Old Lace" wouldn't be as well received today either, because of the same faulty premise of insanity being inherited.
