Title: Does not stand the test of time
Review: A child murderer must have seemed chilling in the 50's but this film does not inspire much fear today. A little girl (supposedly born with psychopathic genes) goes out and kills people while her mother initially refuses to believe that her daughter is capable of such acts. Once the mother accepts that her daughter is indeed a killer, she battles her emotions over what to do. The characters in the film were ridiculous (creepy maintenance man, nosy and clueless landlady, the child's husband, the (drunk) victim's mother stood out the most The head scratching behavior exhibited from these characters killed any realistic drama the film might have sought the viewer to feel. Would not recommend this film.
