YMMV / The Bad Seed Returns

• Alternate Character Interpretation: Does Emma actually grow to care for Cade, given her request that they not be separated?
• Complete Monster: In this sequel to The Bad Seed (2018), Emma Grossman, now living with her aunt Angela and Angela's new husband Robert, is shown committing a number of heinous acts, such as intentionally putting her baby cousin Cade in danger of drowning and nearly killing Robert by dropping his car on him while he's working on it. When her "friend" Steph wins a dance competition instead of her, Emma gruesomely kills Steph's dog, steals Steph's epilepsy medication, and deliberately triggers a fatal seizure in Steph. Luring the suspicious transfer student Kat to her house, Emma poisons her and starts a House Fire that kills Kat, Robert, and Angela. Framing Kat for the murders, Emma smiles triumphantly, having gotten away with her crimes.
• Crosses the Line Twice:
  • Although Emma Grossman's actions are horrible, there's something incredibly funny about her searching for a test on the Internet to see if she's a psychopath, only to end up with a "Congratulations, You're a Psychopath" message as if it were a good thing.
  • The number of fake-outs where it looks like the baby's going to die become amusing after a while, not to mention the fact that the baby seems to like Emma.
• Cry for the Devil: The film mentions more than once that due to her psychopathic nature Emma will always be alone and unable to relate to other people, which can make it tempting to want to give her a hug even if she'd kill you for it.
