[Interesting trope] Evil Kids. Not supernatural, possessed, powers, etc. "They could be any one of us/Never saw the signs" type of kids.
Henry Evans (The Good Son) 12-year-old Henry couldn't give much of a damn. Causes the deaths of almost everyone around just because he can. Wants to be the only person that his mother loves so he kills his baby brother, attempts to kill his little sister and eventually tries to kill his own cousin. Cunning, Manipulative, self-centered, and a psychopath.
The Bad Seed. Rhoda (her names is sometimes changed in other adaptations). Murderous, sociopathic 8-year-old girl. Also a manipulator. Kills the family dog, a neighbor, a classmate, etc and doesn't feel any empathy or remorse for her actions.
Luke Lerner (Better Watch Out): Probably the most evil one of all my examples, Luke comes across as your typical tween. At first, he and his babysitter are being stalked by a masked intruder but it turns out the masked intruder was Luke's best friend and the plan was to have Luke take down the "intruder" so it looks as if he saved his babysitter from danger. Long story short, becomes Evil Kevin McCallister by covering his entire house in booby traps, smart as hell but also a coward, kills 2 of his babysitter's friends, kills his own best friend and tries to sexually assault his babysitter (who he loves dearly and wants to be with her). When he realizes that she probably won't be with him after everything that's happened, he attempts to kill her, then quickly cleans up the entire house so that it looks like a burglary happened while he was sleep. He might get away with his crimes, but he also may not since the movie ends with the babysitter still being alive, being taken to the hospital,
Jamie Miller (Adolescence) In a most recent entry of this trope. 13-year-old Jamie Miller is basically what happens when Red Pills and Incel culture hit at a young age. Having been radicalized by the media and the internet, Jamie unknowingly went to the darkest corner of the internet and became a wrathful misogynist who looked down on women, though he would readily deny he was part of Incel subculture of a believer of Andrew Tate. Mood swings changes like the seasons. Ends up killing a classmate after she rejected him asking her out. Tried to get away with his crimes but ultimately abandoned it and was planning on pleading guilty to his crimes.
