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.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"The film 'The Bad Seed' is a psychological thriller/horror from 1956 centered on a deceptively sociopathic young girl. There is no indication in the plot summary or genre description that it has any connection to the Christmas season, themes, or iconography."
