Title: Twisted Daughter
Review: Patty McCormack is THE BAD SEED. This is a twisted and shocking tale. Whatever you do, do not trade a basket full of kisses for as basket full of hugs with Patty McCormack. You may just get more than you bargained for. McCormack gives a chilling and incredibly detached performance as a sweet child whose vividly demented aspirations of obtaining simple possessions of others reap horrific acts on her part.Nancy Kelly as her mom and Eileen Heckart as the mother of one of her victims both give emotionally gripping and heart wrenching performances.Composer Alex North brilliantly put "Au Claire de la Lune" to effective use as McCormack played this piece on the piano throughout the film raising the tune to demented proportions. It is totally nerve racking.
