hey what's up guys. today I'll show you a
psychological horror film: "The Prodigy"! spoiler ahead, watch out and take care!
The movie begins with a woman covered in blood, escaping from a house in the middle of nowhere.
she runs to the highway, but it's of no use. the poor woman was kidnapped by a
serial killer, who has a fetishism for hands. her right hand is cut off and taken by the killer,
but she still managed to escape for her life. she tells the police where the killer lives.
soon the police come and surround the killer's house.
moments later, the killer walks out of the house, naked.
the police shoot him immediately, because they thought he was going take out a gun,
possibly his hormone one, since he's naked. when they approach, they realize it is
not a gun, but a woman's right hand. at the time of the killer's death, a lady named
Sarah, goes into premature labor somewhere else. her son, Miles, was born with blood marks,
which surprisingly look similar to the ones shown on the killer's chest.
Sarah and her husband John, adore their baby boy, whose pupils have different colors.
Miles is very different from an ordinary kid since he was born.
when he is four months old, he doesn't cry during an injection.
What's more, he can even utter some simple words, which surprises the doctor.
the doctor thinks Miles is a prodigy. Sarah is very proud of her smart boy,
so she begins to educate him very early. when Miles is five, he receives an IQ test,
which shows that his IQ is much higher than that of ordinary kids.
the doctor suggests he should go to a school for gifted kids.
however, his development of empathy lags behind his peers.
blinded by the joy of having a genius kid, Sarah doesn't take it seriously.
when Miles turns eight, they find him a babysitter.
one night, the babysitter turns off the TV as required by the mother, which annoys Miles.
He then tricks the babysitter into going down to the basement.
the babysitter steps onto some sharp objects, and falls down the stairs,
causing her to break her leg. When Miles is questioned by his mum, he
feels innocent, and claims no memory of that. one night, Sarah sees Miles talking in his sleep,
but she doesn't understand a word. she is a bit worried, so she records him talking.
when Miles wakes up, Sarah asks him if he had a bad dream.
much to her surprise, he says he had a nice dream.
not long after, something worse happens in school.
Miles attacks a classmate using a wrench, simply because that kid
refuses to exchange a game partner with him. Sarah is frightened by her son's violent behavior
in school; so she brings Miles to a psychiatrist, and turns over the tape of his sleep talking.
the psychiatrist is not sure what happened to Miles.
she suspects that Miles might suffer some kind of abuse.
It's revealed that Sarah's husband was abused when he was young.
but when confronted that night, John denies that he has ever touched Miles.
the couple then falls into an argument. Sarah is awake the whole night.
when she goes to check Miles, she sees Miles is talking gibberish in his sleep again.
more disturbingly, when waking up, Miles tells mom that there is another man living in his head.
after listening to the tape of Miles's sleep talking, the psychiatrist tells about Miles
to her friend, an expert on reincarnation. days later, Sarah goes to meet the Expert, who tells
her what Miles says in his dream in a rare dialect, and the words have horrible meaning.
Sarah finds it hard to believe. to persuade Sarah, the Expert tells her about a similar rebirth
case he encountered in India. but Sarah still doesn't want to believe the so-called "rebirth",
especially when she hears that the spirit that intends to take over Miles is evil.
she feels insulted a lot by that. the expert and the psychiatrist are worried about Miles,
because they know if they don't help the spirit fulfill what it hasn't finished,
Miles' body will be completely controlled by the evil spirit.
however, Sarah refuses their help, and returns home in anger.
while playing games with Miles at home, Sarah notices that Miles acts weird in the way he
looks at her and touches her hand. in fear and confusion, Sarah plays
the CD the expert gave to her. John comes into the bedroom and sees it.
But he thinks it's all nuts and bullshit. later, Sarah sees Miles's face change into an adult's
face, which makes her horrified. one day, Miles secretly sharpens a
pair of scissors, intending to use it for some unknown reason.
not long after, their dog is missing. John asks Miles to look for the dog with him.
but Miles ignores him, focusing on playing his games.
John shuts down the TV, and takes Miles out with him.
But Miles doesn't seem to be concerned about the dog at all.
he even tells his father that everyone is gonna die one day, even John.
as a father, John doesn't like Miles talking to him like that.
So he stops the car and tells him to get off. somehow Miles starts to talk about John's abusive
childhood, which stuns John suddenly, because neither he nor Sarah has ever told him about it.
At home, John happens to find Miles has been recording their bedroom with a baby monitor.
John is so angry that he wants to teach Miles a lesson.
Sarah stops him, and lets him stay at a friend's place until he calms down.
when Sarah is bathing Miles that night, she's terrified to see that Miles' body
is controlled by the spirit. that night, Sarah has a bad dream.
when she wakes up, she sees that Miles is standing silent at the door,
she lets Miles sleep with her. suddenly, Sarah finds
a lot of flies in the house. she follows the flies to the basement,
and finds dried blood on the floor. Miles apologizes while helping his mother
open a board under the cabinet. there they find the dog's body.
Sarah can't stand it anymore, so she brings Miles to the expert again.
the expert asks Sarah to stand outside of the room while he hypnotizes Miles.
During the session, Miles threatens the expert to stop it; otherwise,
he will accuse the expert of child molestation. At first, the expert refuses to follow his words.
but when he hears the spirit's evil plan, he finally compromises.
The expert then tells Sarah he can't offer any help, and sees her off based on the spirit's
instruction. After that, he finds the name "Edward", carved into his couch by Miles.
He realizes that it might be the clue left by the little Miles about the
identity of the spirit living inside. On the other side, Sarah drives Miles home,
and sees her husband is waiting at the garage. John tells her that he finds
Miles a reform school. Sarah doesn't want to send
Miles there, but she has no better choice, as she doesn't know what else she can do.
at midnight, Sarah receives a call from the expert.
he shows his worries, and tells her about the name "Edward".
upon searching the name, Sarah is astonished to find Edward is a serial killer, who has
the same pupil colors as Miles. What's more, he died just a few
minutes before Miles was born; all these clues indicate that her son is not a prodigy at all,
but just a poor boy possessed by an adult's soul. Sarah also learns that Edward killed nine women,
and cut their hands off for collection. The tenth victim escaped before he killed her,
who now has published a book telling about her traumatic experience.
while Sarah is still on the phone, she hears something and goes for a check.
but it is just her husband standing on the stairs.
the next day, they take Miles to the school bus as usual.
Then John picks up Miles from school after one hour,
and plans to send him to the reform facility. while Sarah is packing up for Miles at home,
she finds the book published by the survivor, and other information in Miles's closet.
Sarah suddenly realizes that Edward's unfulfilled wish is to kill the woman who had escaped.
on their way to the reform facility, Miles, who is now controlled by Edward,
suddenly cuts off John's seat belt, and stabs him with a pair of scissors.
the car loses control and hits a tree, causing John to fall into a coma.
Seeing what happened to her husband, Sarah decides to follow the experts' suggestion,
to help Edward finish what he wants in order to set her son free from his control.
with that plan in mind, Sarah asks Miles to take pills for sleep.
later, she finds the survivor, and gains her trust by pretending to be one of her fans.
Sarah then loads her gun in the bathroom. but she doesn't have the gut to kill the
innocent woman. just then, Miles,
who's supposed to be sleeping at home, appears in front of the woman with a knife in his hand.
He stabs the survivor, and kills her without mercy.
after she died, Miles drops the knife, and runs out of the house.
Sarah chases after him, and sees him kneeling on the lane.
at first, Sarah thought Edward would leave Miles when he finally achieved his unfinished goal.
but she finds that Edward is still inside Miles. much to her shock, he tells her that Miles
is long gone. hearing this,
Sarah can't resist her anger anymore, and tries to shoot the demon who has her son's body.
After a gunshot, Sarah collapses instead. it turns out she is shot by a farmer passing by,
who thought she was going to kill the innocent boy.
Sarah tries to tell the truth, but she can't. In the end, she dies with regret.
sometime later, Miles is taken to a foster home. when he sees the hostess' beautiful hands,
he smiles creepily. while Miles stares
into a mirror in his new home, the mirror reflects the horrible image of Edward.
