Prodigy (2018)\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"\"

Watch this movie with a friend, preferably one who is not easily terrified.<\/p><\/div>\n

Prodigy<\/em> is a thriller starring an analyst talking to a creepy kid. Well, that\u2019s how it starts.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

It\u2019s the kind of story that might have been at home in 20-something minutes on The Twilight Zone.\u00a0<\/em>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.
\n


\nHowever, unlike the usual method in those movies \u00a0— showing zany examples of how crazy the kid is– it delves into the psychology of it all.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s deep human drama laced with horror and sci-fi that I was not at all expecting.
\n


\nSavannah Liles, who plays the kid, is a superstar.\u00a0She is terrifying. I mean that as a compliment.<\/p>\n

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 .<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0In other words, see this now. Do it. Have you seen it yet?<\/p>\n

Prodigy will be available on iTunes March 13.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
