“The Bad Seed” (*1/2 out of four) was a numbingly predictable remake of the classic thriller about a devoted single father (Rob Lowe) and the nanny (Sarah Dugdale) who begin to suspect that his seemingly perfect daughter (McKenna Grace) may be a ruthless killer. What was terrifying and revelatory in 1956 seems tired and dated now, after “Orphan”, “The Good Son”, and umpteen other movies about possessed children. Lowe is good as usual. He directed this also in his directorial debut but he may want to give himself more original material next time.
