Prodigy (2018)
Watch this movie with a friend, preferably one who is not easily terrified.
It’s the kind of story that might have been at home in 20-something minutes on The Twilight Zone. But here, it plays out slowly over the course of a feature-length span. It’s not padded; it’s deliberately drawn out, exploring all the angles of the Creepy Kid-style story.
However, unlike the usual method in those movies — showing zany examples of how crazy the kid is– it delves into the psychology of it all.
It’s deep human drama laced with horror and sci-fi that I was not at all expecting.
Savannah Liles, who plays the kid, is a superstar. She is terrifying. I mean that as a compliment.
The film is essentially a two-person discussion. It could be a stage play. The analyst and the kid put on a master-class performance that evolves and unravels .
In other words, see this now. Do it. Have you seen it yet?
Prodigy will be available on iTunes March 13.
