The Prodigy
Here we have a story that looks quite different. A woman named Sarah, a mother who is still not fully convinced of the behavior of her exciting little son, believes that there is an evil and possibly supernatural power that has overtaken him. It seems that it has gone beyond everything, as this woman still fears for the safety of her family. Sarah must choose between the instincts of the mother in love and her protection and the urgent need to investigate what or what is causing everything that happens. In the end, it seems that everything is going wrong and Sarah is still forced to look for answers in the past.

Nicholas McCarthy needed to transcend the conventions to successfully mix genres. [Full Review in Spanish]

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.

The Prodigy feels more like an absurd fantasy film than a horror flick.

The Prodigy is a forgettable, tedious horror film that few will remember come this summer.
February 19, 2019
This is entertaining and all, but the movie is neither scary nor intriguing enough to transcend its cliches and redundancy.

The latest in a long, increasingly lousy line of bloodthirsty kid movies...
February 22, 2019
An empty exercise that barely keeps itself standing. [Full Review in Spanish]
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.

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 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
The film is cruelly well-made.
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.
