If there’s a quintessential Easter horror movie to watch this week, it’s Critters 2. Plucky hero Brad (Scott Grimes) returns to the small town of Grover’s Bend to visit Grandma just in time for the town’s Easter celebration. Too bad someone mixed up Crite eggs for regular Easter eggs. The pint-sized critters set their sights on the Easter bunny before letting loose their insatiable appetite on the town. Think...

One of the appalling — and appealing — traits of malevolent presences onscreen is that they can be so darn imprecise in their revenge. Often victims of unfairness, ghosts and assorted other supernatural baddies may exact a semi-rational but flawed retribution. (Got bullied? Easy: Kill all the randy teens.) So it’s right to wonder what’s up with the cop killer in “Body Cam,” starring Mary J. Blige, with fine backup from Nat Wolff.
After all, the targets of the ravenous violence appear to be cops of color — not that the police department takes note of the pattern. But for viewers, it should be striking. What can that fact possibly portend? What’s the contemporary moral here? These questions dog “Body Cam,” making it intriguing, though not exactly visionary; it’s more twisted puzzle than horror ride. Not that there aren’t jumpy moments, and tense interludes.

Ghost Protocol: Vitthal Gets Supernatural with Hot Topic Horror
Genre has always been a formidable platform to explore significant social ills in creative ways, often sidestepping the heavy-handedness of tragedy or melodrama. Such is the aim of director Malik Vitthal’s sophomore film, Body Cam a horror thriller headlined by the Queen of Hip Hop Soul, Mary J. Blige. Six years after his 2014 debut Imperial Dreams, Vitthal teams with scribes Richmond Riedel and Nicholas McCarthy, the latter a director of a number of similar supernatural indie films (The Pact; At the Devil’s Door) for a jam-packed portrait of retribution which plays with so many tangents and elements the film often feels as if it bit off more than it could chew.…...

The third horror film from director Nicholas McCarthy, The Prodigy is an entry in the creepy kid genre typified by the likes of Orphan (2009) and Joshua (2007), aka The Devil’s Child. As such it’s something of a mixed bag, delivering a handful of genuinely nasty moments, but let down by a frustrating script that completely ignores the premise implied in the title.
Taylor Schilling (Orange Is The New Black) and Peter Mooney play Sarah and John Blume, a middle-class Pennysylvania couple whose longed-for child is born at the exact same moment that police shoot and kill Hungarian-speaking serial killer Edward Scarka (Paul Fauteux) in nearby Ohio. Eight years later, their young son Miles (Jackson Robert Scott) is attending school for gifted children, after having grown up with an unusually high Iq,...

Most horror fans would welcome watching possessed kids run amuck with power tools above their head or wantonly parade paranormal powers instead of stealthily sliding cucumbers behind placid cats like normal children, but there’s nothing more maddening than seeing horror films shamelessly nip from the classics. Director Nicholas McCarthy’s The Prodigy is an evil kid flick which adheres to the textbook; adopting fladgets and tart devices while just about hitting plot beats and deviating enough so it’s not completely cumbersome.
Eight years after the birth of their son Miles (Jackson Robert Scott), Pennsylvania based couple, John and Sarah Blume (Peter Mooney and Taylor Schilling) are told their offspring has a freakishly high Iq and is advancing too fast. What they don’t realise (like viewers) is that Miles is possessed by the narked spirit of recently departed serial killer Edward Sarka, who plans to take permanent residence...

The Oscars are looming, in case you hadn’t heard. I spent last evening with a last-minute Oscar lightning round screening of Willem Dafoe’s Best Actor-nominated performance as Vincent Van Gogh in At Eternity’s Gate, and in my best Gene Shalit voice I will tell you to go-go-Gogh grab it at a Redbox near you. Dafoe’s work towers over the other four nominees, and even gives Ethan Hawke’s tortured pastor in First Reformed, my choice for male performance of the year, a run for its money.
But truth be told, I’ve been spending the waning minutes before the Dolby Theater at Hollywood and Highland takes its place as the center of the universe tomorrow night, immersed in decidedly anti-Oscar bait, and if you don’t have any desire to submit yourself to watching Oscars this year you could do much worse than spending time with...

Having spent six years playing Piper Kerman on Orange Is the New Black, it should surprise no one that Taylor Schilling has experienced her fair share of unpleasant moments on screen. For instance, as a Litchfield inmate, she has her teeth shattered, finds herself starting a used panties business, and is held down while getting a swastika burned into her arm. And yet much of that pales in comparison to what Schilling's character must endure in The Prodigy.
In the Nicholas McCarthy-directed horror film, the Golden Globe- and Emmy-nominated actress plays Sarah, a mother whose genius-level young son, Miles (It's Jackson Robert Scott), begins to exhibit disturbing behavior the older he gets. Is he suffering from some sort of mental disorder? Or is something more sinister at work, like a demonic possession? Sarah struggles with her instinct to love and protect her son while also fearing for her and her husband's safety,...

The domestic box office might want to start sending out an S.O.S. After a disappointing start to 2019, industry watchers were hoping Warner Bros.’ “The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part” would help turn things around and bring audiences back to their local multiplexes.
The animated sequel did easily topped box office charts with $34.4 million from 4,303 locations, but it was’t able to build the buzz that the studio anticipated heading into the weekend. Early estimates from both Warner Bros. and independent tracking services suggested “The Lego Movie 2” would open with at least $50 million for the weekend. But unlike the film’s anthem, everything is was not awesome for the sequel in its first three days in theaters.
Despite an enthusiastic reception, “The Lego Movie 2” had one of the smallest openings in the franchise based on the popular toys, falling only behind 2017’s spinoff, “The Lego Ninajgo Movie” ($20 million...

But unlike the film’s anthem, everything is was not awesome for the sequel in its first three days in theaters.
Despite an enthusiastic reception, “The Lego Movie 2” had one of the smallest openings in the franchise based on the popular toys, falling only behind 2017’s spinoff, “The Lego Ninajgo Movie” ($20 million...

Warner Bros.’ “The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part” is likely to lead the pack at the box office in its debut with an estimated $31 million from 4,303 North American locations.
While the animated adventure pic is still coming out well ahead of the next-highest projected earner for the weekend, the latest estimates for the fourth film in the Lego franchise are significantly below earlier tracking, which had forecasted a debut in the $50 million range. “The Lego Movie 2” took in $8.5 million on Friday.
Chris Pratt stars as the voice of Emmet Brickowski and new character Rex Dangervest. Elizabeth Banks, Alison Brie, Will Arnett, Charlie Day, Nick Offerman and Will Ferrell reprise their roles from earlier Lego films, with Tiffany Haddish, Stephanie Beatriz, and Maya Rudolph joining the cast as new characters. Mike Mitchell directed from Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s screenplay.

Even the most fantastical stories are often based in a grippingly realistic emotional reality. That’s certainly the case for director Nicholas McCarthy’s new movie, ‘The Prodigy,’ which was written by Jeff Buhler.

Arriving in theaters tonight is Nicholas McCarthy’s The Prodigy, another great entry into the killer kid subgenre of horror. Written by Jeff Buhler, the film is centered around a mom named Sarah (Taylor Schilling) who begins to suspect her highly intelligent son, Miles (Jackson Robert Scott) is being influenced by dark forces, and it’s up to her to put an end to it before she loses her kid for good.
Daily Dead spoke with Schilling earlier this week about her first foray into horror, and the actress chatted about taking on the character of Sarah, collaborating with both McCarthy and Scott, and one of her favorite scenes from The Prodigy (which just so happened to be one of this writer’s favorites as well).
So great to speak with you today, Taylor. What I love about this story is that it goes to some very dark places, but also some very human places,...

For a movie that deals with the possession of a young boy, it’s ironic that “The Prodigy” feels like a hollow shell once housed by far better horror films. Taking a familiar tale and bringing nothing new to the table, this Orion Pictures release is in desperate need of some sort of entity that will breathe even the slightest bit of life into it. Directed by Nicholas McCarthy, Orion appears to be doubling down on “Child’s Play” nostalgia given they’re releasing the upcoming 2019 reboot and given how much “The Prodigy” borrows a substantial amount from the original Chucky outing.

If I’m being perfectly honest, after watching the first extended trailer for The Prodigy, I was ready to write it off as yet another possessed kid movie. But thankfully, writer Jeff Buhler and director Nicholas McCarthy weren’t ready to mine familiar territory with this film, and instead of creating a movie focused on an evil kid that needs to be saved from demonic forces, The Prodigy goes the reincarnation route, and that alone made the film immensely enjoyable (the greatest feeling for me when I am watching movies in this day and age is to be surprised). Beyond that, The Prodigy is a surprisingly dark and disturbing story that taps into not only every parent's worst fears, but also serves as a reminder to all of us that evil can lurk anywhere, and come from the most unexpected of places.

After a dreary January at the domestic box office, a squad of plastic figurines and a mind-reading Taraji P. Henson are here to lend a helping hand.
Warner Bros.’ animated sequel “The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part” and Paramount Pictures’ comedy “What Men Want” are two movies hoping to entice moviegoers after audiences largely gave their local multiplex the cold shoulder during the first month of the year. Ticket sales are down over 15% from 2018, according to Comscore, but a bounty of new releases might provide just the boost the box office desperately needs. There’s something for everyone this weekend, as Lionsgate’s action thriller “Cold Pursuit” and Orion Pictures’ horror remake “The Prodigy” also hit the marquee.
“The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part” looks to be the big winner in North America. The sequel to 2014’s “The Lego Movie” is anticipating a $50 million opening when it debuts in over 4,000 venues.

There’s no shortage of films about evil children, so at the risk of indulging in hyperbole, let’s just say Nicholas McCarthy’s “The Prodigy” is the latest. If the idea of a serial-killing pre-teen terrifies you, this film might give off some shivers, but “The Prodigy” doesn’t add anything terribly new to the recipe. Except a little paprika. (Literally.)
Taylor Schilling stars as Sarah, a woman whose eight-year-old child Miles has heterochromia (one eye is a different color than the other), and a genius-level intelligence. He also has a nasty tendency to beat his fellow students with a wrench. There’s something terribly wrong with Miles, but Sarah just can’t figure out what it is.
The audience, however, knows exactly what’s wrong from the film’s opening minutes. Miles was born at the exact same time as a despicable serial killer, Edward Scarka, was shot dead by the police.

It’s not the Devil that’s taken hold of young Miles Bloom, and that’s hardly a spoiler for director Nicholas McCarthy’s gruesome “The Prodigy,” which uses its opening minutes to introduce a new idea to the “possessed kid” horror subgenre and then keeps twisting it into some unexpected shapes — if not the most artful ones. The title hasn’t even come up before a pair of seemingly disparate subplots dovetail into one, as a much-wanted baby is born just as a psychotic killer is gunned down by police. And there’s more: “The Prodigy” isn’t compelled by subtlety. As Edward Scarka (Paul Fauteux) lays dying on the ground, pierced by multiple gunshot wounds, McCarthy cuts to baby Miles, being wiped clean of a set of blood splotches in the exact same spots on his infant chest.

If we’ve learned anything from movies like “The Omen,” “The Bad Seed,” and “The Good Son,” it’s that kids can be little demons. Director Nicholas McCarthy’s “The Prodigy” takes that concept a bit further, positing that children have the ability to carry the past lives of demonic, sociopathic souls and act on their deranged feelings. At least that’s what we glean from a brief “Nightline” clip about reincarnation shown in the film — which is possibly the clever inspiration for Jeff Buhler’s screenplay. While it lacks gripping, nail-biting tension, the unnerving horror that underscores the family drama brings it to life.

Exhibitors can rest easy knowing that moviegoing will return to some sort of normalcy this weekend after that dreadful $73.4M Super Bowl period; the lowest 3-day since the final weekend of August 2017. After the Big Game and Universal/Bvi/Blumhouse’s Glass scared away a number of major studios from competing, the marquee space is about to fill up very fast.
Warner Bros.’ The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, one of four wide entries this weekend, will easily notch No. 1 with a $50M-$55M start at 4,276 locations. However, by Wednesday, another three titles will hit with Universal/Blumhouse’s Happy Death Day 2U, Fox/Lighstorm’s Alita: Battle Angel, and New Line/Bron Studios’ Rebel Wilson comedy Isn’t It Romantic. It’s a complete flush of multiplexes’ inventory and the box office chart, one which is long overdue. Since the start of the year, exhibitors have only had dribbles of new product.

Arriving in theaters this weekend is Nicholas McCarthy’s The Prodigy, the latest addition to the pantheon of creepy kid-themed horror movies. Written by Jeff Buhler and starring Taylor Schilling, Jackson Robert Scott, Peter Mooney, Colm Feore, and Brittany Allen, The Prodigy is centered around a youngster named Miles (Scott) who exhibits some troubling behavior that causes his mom, Sarah (Schilling), to begin to suspect that there might be something sinister living inside of her son. Desperate to try and get her kid back to normal, Sarah will stop at nothing to figure out just what is going on with Miles, and her desperation leads the embattled mother to some very dark and disturbing places along the way.

Orion Pictures has set an Oct. 25 domestic release for the hidden-camera prank comedy “Bad Trip,” from “Jackass” producer Jeff Tremaine with Eric Andre and Lil Rel Howery starring.
Orion noted that “Bad Trip” is the first hidden-camera narrative film released in theaters since Paramount debuted “Bad Grandpa” in 2013. “Bad Grandpa,” which starred Johnny Knoxville, was made for $15 million and grossed $151 million worldwide.
