The Prodigy - Il figlio del male

Considering that making a good Horror nowadays must be a real quandary, as we've invariably seen it before, the Prodigy isn't bad at all.

Let me just say that they tried REALLY hard with this one. Trying to put a new spin on an old story, Which sure, they did. But it was still predictable around every turn. Every little "twist" I saw coming from a mile away. At one point the main character makes a "realization" and I actually thought, you just NOW figured that out??? ha. I was intrigued through most of it, but got a little bored at the end as I had already figured out where they were going. So I will give it a five for a solid effort.

I felt like the scares were great, people actually screamed in the theater and the storyline had wonderful potential. The ending felt flat, like there was something missing from the movie. The dad seemed to be there for the purpose of making the family and to make the movie longer. He didn't seem important and he really wasn't, he was there to fill dialog and an extra problem later in the story, which could have easily been avoided if he didn't talk to his son/not son in the car. I know that the mom and the son were the main focus, but he was just there. I could talk more about it all, but I'll leave my opinion here. If you still want to watch the movie, go ahead.

That kid does scare people with that look upon his face, but the movie is also slow and a little bit annoying, plus the final twist is not surprising at all !

Okay listen, me and my friend are horror movie lovers, and we don't know anything about how they should he made. BUT we seriously loved this movie, I don't scare easily, but I was seriously sitting on the edge of my seat throughout the entire film. Usually im not very impressed by children's acting skills, but this kid played it of pretty darn well if you ask me. Dont listen to all the people saying its bad, because its not.. <333
