THE PRODIGY (2019) Visual Review
Everything You Need to Know
Taylor Schilling stars as Sarah, a mother whose young son Miles' disturbing behavior signals that an evil, possibly supernatural force has overtaken him. Fearing for her family's safety, Sarah must grapple with her maternal instinct to love and protect Miles in favor of investigating what - or who - is causing his dark turn. She is forced to look for answers in the past, taking the audience on a wild ride; one where the line between perception and reality remains blurry.

VISUAL REVIEW
Here is my visual review done in an original visual style with several graphics that work you through the film.
Horror films are vital to humans in various ways. All human cultures have created horror stories. Horror stories are even in the Bible. We are compelled to write, read, see and even experience horror stories, in a safe context, such as in a book or on the screen. Horror plays a considerable role in our lives because they give us a way to work through our worst nightmares and situations. Watching ‘The Prodigy’ plays on every parent's worst fear about their children. Expect a clever twist and great acting.
