Is this the movie I'm thinking of? (SPOILER)


Hi, many years ago I saw a film about a killer girl and have wanted to see it again. But I can't really remember anything about it. All I remember is that at the end of the movie (???) the girl is standing at the edge of her mother's bed and says "Hi Mommy". Is this the right movie? Thanks.

Nope, that was Don't Go to Sleep (1982) a classic TV movie that spooked a lot of kids back in the day.

I remember Don't Go To Sleep. That was a good and scary one. I think it might have been based loosely off of a novel under a different name but I'm not positive.

For YEARS I tried to figure out the title of this movie! I must have seen both Don't Go To Sleep and the Bad Seed around the same time because I thought they were the same movie until today...when I finally found Don't Go To Sleep on you tube in its entirety. Now if only I could find the 1985 version of The Bad Seed. Netflix has the original 1956 version but I wanted to watch the one I saw as a kid.

You only THINK that you want the 1985 version. While it restored the original ending (instead of the happy Hollywood ending that was forced on the director by the studio) the acting wasn't nearly as good as the original cast.

thanks Fazhoul :) Netflix does have the 1956 version of this available (and on instant watch no less!) I will be watching that version. I do wish I could watch both, back to back, for a comparison though.
