The release date has been revealed for the upcoming horror-thriller, THE PRODIGY starring Taylor Schilling. The film is scheduled for release March 15th, 2019.
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 behaviour 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.
The Prodigy is the latest film from celebrated horror director Nicholas McCarthy, who discovered his love for the genre through an unsupervised childhood viewing of The Exorcist. McCarthy builds on the fascinating relationship between motherhood and the macabre seen in favourites like The Babadook to create a story as emotionally intimate as it is terrifying.
The Prodigy is already shaping its own legacy as the next truly terrifying horror after one test audience wouldn’t stop screaming! There’s something very wrong with young Miles, but the real question, is whether you have the guts to find out what?
