Atom User Reviews for The Prodigy
this movie was an edge of your seat creepy and also a few good jump scenes ....
Don't spend your money
Where’s the horror? Not what was expected, waste of money. 🤷🏾♀️
Movie was better then I thought it would be! Definitely go see this movie!
Not a satisfying ending
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 hope a second part comes out.
I seriously did not expect this movie to be as good as it was I loved it
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 plot is not scary but it will feel creepy
I enjoyed this movie, it was very suspenseful.
Didnt like how it ended but it was good
Don’t waste your money/time. Third time in my life I walked out of a movie! Would love a refund! Terribly boring!
Movie was okay. Definitely wasn’t intense enough.
Actually ended up leaving, moving made no sense.
For an hour and a half, it was something of a slow burn. But yeah, that kid was creepy as hell, he was great.
Really liked it. The movie was much better than the preview for it.
sadly, not scary
awesome movie, had me on my toes the entire time.
The other people in the theater made it boring by making stupid comments continuously
Enjoyed the movie, very creepy!
I Personally did not like the ending very much!
Don’t like this kind of ending....
I
The movie wasnt that good. Alot of awkward acting moments and decisions
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.
Movie stunk
horrible
it was okay...could have been way better. should have been pg-13.
Sorryyyyyyy! Honestly you can wait til it come out on redbox.
Not the best ending
The ending was predictable
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 loved it!!!
starts slow but picks up.
It wasn't the best, but it wasn't the worst.
Kept me up!!
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.
Definitely Netflix worthy
Good movie just not scary at all! The kid was creepy as heck....
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?!
no dull moment
I liked the fact it wasn't too predictable. It was a little creepy.
this movie was a waste of time and money
Very mediocre.
I liked that it wasn't the typical exorcist type possession. Great for thinkers. Little boy needs a spanking for sure.
could have been more intense
It was amazing
On the edge of my seat
Metacritic
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.
