“What’s wrong with Miles?”

That’s a question which the upcoming horror thriller will try to answer Orion Pictures releases a new trailer.

In the film, Miles (played by Jackson Robert Scott) is a very intelligent child who’s genius might be the work of more sinister, possibly supernatural, forces.

“Mummy, will you always love me? No matter what I do?,” the boy creepily asks his mom.

Directed by Nicholas McCarthy (The Pact, At the Devil’s Door), the film is written by Jeff Buhler, who also wrote the screenplay for Pet Sematary, Grudge, and Jacob’s Ladder, all horror films set to be released this year.

“The Prodigy” also stars Taylor Schilling as Miles’ mom investigating her song’s troubling behavior. Also in the film are Colm Feore, Brittany Allen, Peter Mooney and Oluniké Adeliyi.

“The Prodigy” is set to be released by Orion Pictures on February 8, 2019.
