this movie was an edge of your seat creepy and also a few good jump scenes ....

Where’s the horror? Not what was expected, waste of money. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Don't spend your money

Movie was better then I thought it would be! Definitely go see this movie!

Not a satisfying ending

I hope a second part comes out.

Went into this movie with rather low expectations. Tbh we expected it to suck but it was actually so good, scary and completely cringe-worthy. Definitely a must see!

All in all, this was a good movie. It was definitely theater worthy in my opinion although it was highly predictable. To me it was anyway.

The only reason I’m giving it two stars is because that little boy carried this movie. Interesting concept, poor execution and zero gratification.

I seriously did not expect this movie to be as good as it was I loved it

The plot is not scary but it will feel creepy

I enjoyed this movie, it was very suspenseful.

Sorryyyyyyy! Honestly you can wait til it come out on redbox.

The ending was predictable

The movie wasnt that good. Alot of awkward acting moments and decisions

could have been more intense

Good movie just not scary at all! The kid was creepy as heck....

awesome movie, had me on my toes the entire time.

no dull moment

For an hour and a half, it was something of a slow burn. But yeah, that kid was creepy as hell, he was great.

Movie stunk

First half was a little slow but picked up in the second.

starts slow but picks up.

Don’t like this kind of ending....

It was amazing

It had two.scenes that made me jump. The ending sets up a sequel. I saw it using a free ticket on the Atom app so-no complaints.

The other people in the theater made it boring by making stupid comments continuously

it was okay...could have been way better. should have been pg-13.

Don’t waste your money/time. Third time in my life I walked out of a movie! Would love a refund! Terribly boring!

Didnt like how it ended but it was good

The movie plot was very slow. I was expecting it to be scary but it wasn’t. But one thing is, the cliff hanger left me wanting to see part two when it comes out in a few years.

I liked that it wasn't the typical exorcist type possession. Great for thinkers. Little boy needs a spanking for sure.

What if your kid’s body was taken over by a murderer? Well don’t worry because that can’t really happen. Or can it?!

sadly, not scary

horrible

Rated it a five because although most horror movies involve kids the plot was original and the guy sitting next to us made it quite funny other than that pretty good !!

It wasn't the best, but it wasn't the worst.

I Personally did not like the ending very much!

Very mediocre.

Actually ended up leaving, moving made no sense.

Not the best ending

Be warned, It is not a scary movie. The actors made some very stupid decisions in the movie, that normal real life people just won't make. By the way, the ending sucked, looked like it's leaving room for a sequel.

On the edge of my seat

Definitely Netflix worthy

I

I liked the fact it wasn't too predictable. It was a little creepy.

Really liked it. The movie was much better than the preview for it.

Remarkably cliche. The moms last line, the super dramatic “nnno...nnnnnnoooo...” was some of the worst acting I’ve ever seen. I mean it literally tells you what’s going on, and why...but doesn’t explain the killer and his urges nearly enough. Just confusing, cheesy, and all around stupid.

I loved it!!!

Kept me up!!

Still, the frights, with Mom seeing the hand-chopping serial killer’s face (Paul Fauteux) on her little boy’s body, the stabbings and threats of worse to come (hilariously foreshadowed to death) deliver the requisite pulse-stopping punch...If that’s all you’re hoping for in a horror picture, fine. If not, you’ve been warned.

It could have been smarter without sacrificing pacing or chills. That’s not a dealbreaker — target audiences will likely be satisfied by its many pluses — but the film is good enough that you wish it went all the way.

Another stroke of casting fortune was landing Scott as the disturbing Miles. I hesitate to applaud any business decision that encourages a kid to channel the spirit of a rapist and murderer, but the young actor accomplishes what I can only assume The Prodigy set out to do: make you reconsider parenthood, and just how much paprika you should stock.
