This is an excellent movie for those who like movies which live you scared to death on the edge of your seat. It is about a psychopathic girl who will do ANYTHING to keep her father close to her, even if it involves multiple murders, of even members of her own family This evil child is like a Ted Bundy incarnate. Brutally hurting, and killing people with no remorse or regard. She is the true embodiment of a child sociopath Watch this movie, I guarantee that the ending will leave you sitting on the edge of your seats.

First off I have to say it took me awhile to find this movie but luckily I discovered Amazon! Yes it may not be that special of a movie to some people, but to me it's simply a guilty pleasure! I tend to own alot of guilty pleasure films in my movie collection. I do enjoy this treasure quit some bit, it always gets my skin crawling! The film has a 'Good Son' and 'Bad Seed' feel to it just switched to the obsession of a father. The premise it simple- A young girl named Jodi gets adopted by a wealthy couple and then becomes obsesses with her foster father and kills to remain his only precious gem. This red headed girl who plays Jodi is truly chilling in her portrayal of a child loosing her mind. I loved it! The first time I had ever seen this movie it when it use to play on showtime and I had caught the last half hour of it, and ever since have been in desperate search for a long while till now. I bought my own copy right here on Amazon and was thrilled with it!! The acting and setting and camera work is very well done with the feel of a Lifetime movie but that never stopped me, and nor should it stop you! There are also some familiar actor/actresses in here you may know from other films such as the father a possibly the mother. I just love the grouchy old grandma in this movie, she sure gets it good when Jodi decides she wants to play a little hide and seek with old granny. Loves it! Like I said this isn't the best of movie's but if you are in for sum cheesy psycho kid killer fun snatch a copy of this up! I worn you though -for little Jodi...murder is child's play.

This movie is one of my favorite child killer movies. Much better than "Mikey", "The Good Son", "Milo", and "Orphan" combined. I just wish there would be a DVD release for this film, or better yet, a Blu-ray Version. 5 star film!

This movie was recommended to me by a relative. It was well written I admit & also well filmed. However, it had its "letdowns" (e.g. I think it was quite obvious that Jodie was faking her unhappiness about her Grandma's coma & her teacher's death).

The ending, in my opinion, was quite poor. They could've extended the movie & done something more interesting, like put Jodie on trial.

It really didnt deserve the R rating. The violence was actually quite mild and infrequent, and in my books, only earned a PG13 rating.

Not the best thriller/drama ever, but does deserve more credit than its been getting (Especially for Gabrielle Boni, who was very good as 10-year-old sociopath Jody).

Gabrielle Boni plays Jodi, a female version of the Problem Child, except everything she does as an 11-year old actor is irritating instead of funny. Adopted by a rich family, she does her best to shrug off the fact that she's the proverbial red-headed stepchild, a ginger train wreck dressed in strawberry hues to accentuate her nausea inducing appearance and acting. With a connect-the-dots complexion and a head of hair that made me think she could be Joe Dirt's cousin, Jodi insists throughout to her step-parents that she can improve her behavior. That she can do better. Her acting suggests improvement is impossible. At one point the ginger abomination - incidentally, she's currently in her mid-twenties and very pretty - does something heinous and immediately thereafter says, "Most accidents really do happen at home." Incorrect. The casting couch is where accidents happen, because the rest of the cast is only moderately better than the professional thespians in Air Bud.

As for the plot, it's incredibly simple and predictable. Little orphan Annie has daddy issues due to a "mysterious" past, and those who get between her and her current daddy are in danger. Granny goes stair surfing. Social worker gets tenderized. Cast-members look quizzically at little Jodi, partly because of actions and partly because of her stupid lines. Mostly, however, because she looks like the love child of Carrot Top and the Wendy's girl.

Will little Jodi get away with her evil actions, or will she be caught RED handed? It's probably not worth watching for you to find out.
