New trailer and artwork for the upcoming creepy kid flick.
From The Bad Seed to The Omen, creepy kids have been a mainstay of the horror genre. The latest film to exploit the terrifying nature of rugrats is director Nicholas McCarthy's The Prodigy.
Taylor Schilling plays a mother who begins to suspect her young son may have become possessed by an evil spirit. Jackson Robert Scott, Peter Mooney and Colm Feore also star.
The Prodigy opens in US cinemas February 8th but a UK/ROI release has yet to be announced. You can check out the new US trailer below.
The official synopsis reads:
In her much-anticipated foray into the horror-thriller genre, Golden Globe and Emmy nominee Taylor Schilling stars in THE PRODIGY 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 choose between her maternal instinct to love and protect Miles and a desperate need to investigate 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 becomes frighteningly blurry.
