Good Job Rob Lowe!
24 October 2018 | by amgee-89551 – See all my reviews

Pretty Good Television Movie remake of The Bad Seed. The acting was pretty good especially the child actress. Rob Lowe done a good job directing the remake. It was creepy at times. It's definitely the best Lifetime movie of this year. It's definitely worth an watch. 7/10
