Prodigy follows Dr. Fonda, a psychologist with a mysterious new patient After being searched and issued warnings, he is taken to a cell where he finds Ellie, a young girl strapped in a straitjacket. Ellie immediately begins dissecting Fonda, revealing her genius-level intellect. Fonda holds fast, only faltering when Ellie claims to have killed her own mother. The team observing this interaction suggest Ellie is more dangerous than Fonda knows. She possesses “gifts” they wish to analyze — a process which will result in Ellie’s death. With the execution scheduled for the next day, Fonda must alter his strategy. He engages Ellie in a battle of wits, which results in Ellie's telekinetic “gifts” revealing themselves. Objects hover, furniture topples, the foundation of the building quakes, but Fonda continues chipping away at Ellie’s tough facade. His methods begin to win over the experts, but he will need drastic results to prove the monster they see is actually a child worth saving.

Hodnocení a recenze

I saw this movie pop up a few places online last week, and then came across it while I was browsing. I didn't know anything about it going in... which made it all the better. The way the story unfolds makes for a tense and exciting ride. I don't want to spoil anything, but you won't be disappointed if you give this flick a shot. Also, that little actress is fire.

This is the last time I watch a movie based on reviews from you guys. This movie was average at best and that's on a scale only including indie films. Cliche script and acting obvious ending and events. It's good for a cheap rental but a 5 star movie is one in would watch again and I borderline regret watching it the first time.

Good story Bad actors High School film student Low-budget weak execution. If they revamp remake this and put some production into it with solid actors it could be good. I give them an A for effort but the acting and production gets an E -. All bark no bite.
