The premise

A mother concerned about her young son's disturbing behavior thinks something supernatural may be affecting him.

Horror Vault's take

When a mother begins noticing deeply troubling changes in her young son's behavior, her search for answers pulls her into a terrifying rabbit hole that blurs the line between medical explanation and something far darker. The boy's unsettling intelligence and chilling moments of otherness suggest that whatever is wrong with him may not be something a doctor can fix. Equal parts family drama and supernatural nightmare, The Prodigy weaponizes the primal bond between parent and child to maximum disturbing effect. Young Jackson Robert Scott delivers a performance that will make you deeply uncomfortable every time he smiles.
