What Parents Need to Know

Common Sense Media Says:

Bad Seed-style horror movie is gory and ludicrous.

Synopsis

An outwardly angelic little girl displays an unforeseen devilish streak upon moving into the home of her new adoptive parents in this shocker starring Peter Sarsgaard and Vera Farmiga. In the aftermath of a miscarriage, prospective parents Kate (Farmiga) and John (Sarsgaard) find their lives turned upside down; their marriage is falling apart, and the demons of Kate's past begin manifesting themselves in a series of horrifying nightmares. Deciding that the best means of achieving some semblance of normalcy is to simply adopt, the dejected couple visits a local orphanage. There, they are both drawn to a nine-year-old girl named Esther. But Esther isn't as sweet as first impressions suggest, and almost immediately after welcoming the young child into their home, Kate and John suspect that something is terribly wrong with their adoptive daughter. Kate can see right through Esther's seraphic charm, though her attempts to convince everyone else of the truth go unheeded by her skeptical family and friends. By the time anyone bothers to take Kate seriously, it may be too late to prevent a devastating tragedy from unfolding. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

scary thought

Posted by: from miami, fl on 07/23/2010It's a scary idea. An extremely violent orphan who wants to get everyone out of her way to live the life that she dreams of. Excellent acting. Great scenes. A must see.

Twisted Ending
5
Posted by: from Hermitage, TN on 06/20/2010This movie is beyond of a twist of an ending. My jaw literally dropped when the twist came and I just stood there in shock staring. This movie is a great deal for the price and I highly recommend this for anyone to see. This little girl makes Maccauley Caulkin in The Good Son look like an angel.

Scary movie.....

Posted by: from Erie, PA on 04/13/2010Great movie. Creepy. The ending blindsided me. This is worth owning. I can't wait to see it again to see what I may have missed the first time.

a big twist at the end makes up for the length,...

Posted by: from Newark, ohio on 02/15/2010Well acted, even though a couple charecters are very hard to like, this is much better than any evil child movie I've ever seen. despite some clear simalarities to them here, the so-called cliches don't ruin the story either. The twist at the end, unless your extremely perceptive, you won't see coming, although some people I've spoken with weren't that surprised when it happened, but before you take my word for how good it is, see it for yourself, I have it in my library, but that doesn't mean that everyone will agree that it's owner's material, I'm sure not everyone will like it, but I would advise parents not to let anyone under age watch it-there's alot of adult content that kids just shouldn't see. This one is definately for adults only-a few scenes creeped me out and I'm 29.

Excellent Movie!

Posted by: from Canyon Country, CA on 02/03/2010If you like horror type movies with a definite twist, this is the movie for you. The girl who plays Esther does an excellent job of acting, and the ending is definitely not what you think it's going to be !

Posted by: from chicago il on 01/12/2010I thought this was going to be just another bad seed movie, but it is much more than that,this a great scary thrillerwith a shock ending.It is really too bad it did not do better at the box office. I wish it had more extras.
