I usually don't like kids in the movies all that much. Maybe I'm missing that maternal gene, or maybe I'm just not that into the little rugrats. But suffice to say that I sometimes have a pretty dark view of children, and that's why I love The Bad Seed -- and I especially love little Rhoda Penmark. The Bad Seed was based on William March's novel about a murderous little girl who terrorizes her family and friends, and by the time it's all said and done, she comes up with relatively respectable body count. The 1956 film was directed by Mervyn LeRoy and starred Patty McCormack as the pigtailed terror, and in spite of a tacked-on ending to satisfy the Hays code at the time, the film is still considered on of the penultimate 'creepy kid' flicks. But what set Rhoda apart is that usually when you have murderous kids, the moral caveat is usually that they are outside the 'normal run of things', leaving our heroes to dispatch the bad guy without any hand-wringing about harming children. So most films give you kids like Damian (the Antichrist himself) or those creepy little buggers from Village of The Damned who come from another planet -- but with Rhoda, there is no one to blame but her. Although in both the film and the original book, there is an argument that she is just the victim of her family tree, but that's not exactly the same as the supernatural kids in those other horror films. There is no excuse for why Rhoda is the way she is, and she reminds you that evil can come in all kinds of packages -- and that's why to this day, the sight of her skipping away with her braids swinging remains as one of my most beloved movie villain moments. After the jump; some of Rhoda's creepier moments and a tribute to her lasting inspiration to the macabre everywhere...Filed under: Classics, Horror, Thrillers, Fandom, Trailers and ClipsContinue reading Villains We Love: Rhoda Penmark, 'The Bad Seed' Permalink | Email this | Comments

Filed under: News, Exclusive, Book Club, Movies, Television Nick Cave is no stranger to the big screen. Along with fellow Bad Seed Warren Ellis, he's scored 'The Assassination of Jesse James' and 'The Road,' penned the scripts to 'The Proposition' and a forthcoming feature entitled 'The Death of a Ladies Man' and even dabbled as an actor, popping up in Wim Wenders' 1987 film 'Wings of Desire' as well as ' Jesse James.' But when we spoke to him about his new novel, we were certain that he had aspirations to translate the adventures of his main character 'Bunny Munro' into a film. He said that's not so -- instead, Cave is shooting for the small screen. "I want to do a TV series or at least like a three-part TV series," Cave tells Spinner. "You can go deeper with TV in a way, within actually creating a character. You have more time to live with the character."

Filed under: News, Exclusive, Movies For their latest release, Nick Cave and Warren Ellis are cleaning out their closet. And when that closet contains music composed by the Bad Seeds and his longtime sidekick in that band and, more recently, Grinderman, the result is, metaphorically speaking, one fantastic yard sale. "We make a lot of music," Ellis tells Spinner of his and Cave's artistic relationship. "At the beginning of the year, we thought it might be a nice idea to regroup everything." The regrouping brought about the two-CD 'White Lunar,' due Sept. 22 on Mute Records. The first disc collects the pair's evocative, spare instrumental scores for 'The Proposition' (for which Cave wrote the screenplay) and 'The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford,' along with preview tracks from the up-coming screen adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's 'The Road,' for which Cave and Ellis also composed the incidental music.
