She comes off at times as crazier than her cute little daughter. Patty McCormack is beyond praise as little Rhoda. I agree with everyone who says that the scenes between McCormack and dim-witted Henry Jones are the best in the film. I wouldn't quite class The Bad Seed as a horror film. It could have been had it been made differently. As it is, it's too prosaic in presentation to qualify. The character of Rhoda is a monster, for sure, yet there's so much discussion of the hows and whys she's the way she is that the movie becomes a kind of "think piece" in its second half.

The childlike atmosphere and dark tone is prevelant throughout. And while it bombed at the box office,, it has since become a cult classic with a large following. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058997/ And still more more shocking and disturbing is "The Innocents" it still to this day, after almost 50 years can make anyone watching feel extremely uncomfortable. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055018/

I only know of "The Mini Skirt Mob" (which I've never really seen) and a very tongue-in-cheek follow-up to The Bad Seed called "Mommy." Of course she became hot enough (several times over) to go from the Rhoda kind to the ADULT femme fatale kind, but I don't know of any roles besides those two.
