The Prodigy
We live here in a state of terror also felt by the woman called Sarah. The story tells of a mother called Sarah who still feels that the behavior of her young son is strange as she believes that there is an evil and perhaps supernatural power that has overtaken him during that period. It seems that these behaviors of the boy seem strange where Sarah is afraid of everything that happens and fear for the safety of her family. Now everything seems to be going wrong where Sarah must choose between the mother's instinct and her mother's protections. Maybe it might be bad where Sarah needs to investigate what or what is causing that strange story.

This is entertaining and all, but the movie is neither scary nor intriguing enough to transcend its cliches and redundancy.February 19, 2019
The Prodigy feels more like an absurd fantasy film than a horror flick.February 15, 2019
The emotion wasn't quite as earned as it should've been...but, for the majority of the run-time, I was impressed with the craftsmanship on display.February 22, 2019
An empty exercise that barely keeps itself standing. [Full Review in Spanish]February 07, 2019
The latest in a long, increasingly lousy line of bloodthirsty kid movies...March 05, 2019
The Prodigy is a forgettable, tedious horror film that few will remember come this summer.February 07, 2019
Director Nicholas McCarthy and screenwriter Jeff Buhler could pen that aforementioned parental handbook for child demonic possession, since they blithely borrow from innumerable evil kid movies.February 08, 2019
McCarthy's direction is so sleepy that a number of key scenes fizzle out before they can pay off with the next big jump scare.February 22, 2019
Nicholas McCarthy needed to transcend the conventions to successfully mix genres. [Full Review in Spanish]February 08, 2019
The film is cruelly well-made.February 07, 2019
[McCarthy] a filmmaker who recognizes that the buildup is more fun than the payoff, and he manages to generate suspense with seemingly little happening on the screen.February 08, 2019
McCarthy's film dips its toes into some stock scare tactics - the whistling tea kettle, the dark hallway, the creepy basement - while struggling to figure out whether it wants its third act to be a boring or bad-ass sort of bonkers-bananas.
