THE GIST: Young Miles displays an intelligence out of the ordinary, but his occasional fits of violence and puzzling behavior start to worry his parents. A school psychologist puts his mother in contact with an expert on reincarnation.The Prodigy doesn't break any ground as far as the "possessed kid" genre goes, but Jackson Robert Scott sure turns in a prodigious performance.
Taylor Schilling as Miles' mother is very good, and Peter Mooney and Colm Feore are good supporting players.
THE BOTTOM LINE: Aside from a few original points, The Prodigy can be quite predictable, but if you're just looking for a few good scares, it'll do.
Grade: 6
