Despite a promising premise, 'The Prodigy' fails to fully deliver on its potential, with some critics feeling the plot falls flat and lacks the necessary tension to truly grip the audience. Rotten Tomatoes gave the movie a rating of 42%, indicating mixed reviews among critics. IMDb's rating of 5.9/10 suggests a lukewarm reception from viewers who found the film to be lacking in originality and suspense. Similarly, Metacritic's score of 45/100 reflects the consensus that 'The Prodigy' struggles to stand out in the crowded horror genre. Some critics praised Taylor Schilling's performance as the distraught mother, but overall, the film was criticized for its predictable storyline and lack of truly terrifying moments.
