Plot Synopsis
Storyline
When sheriff Barnum investigates the death of an elderly rural resident, he discovers a teenage grandson living in the basement. Raised by his grandparents, he has experienced the world only through books, never leaving the family farm. He is sent to a state home for boys where he has trouble fitting in socially. His odd appearance and unusual abilities cause the small town residents to fear and ridicule him. However, not all are afraid. Some begin to view his potential and gifts with wonderment.

Trivia
There was a great deal of consternation among many of the cast and crew when it came to light halfway through production that director Victor Salva had been convicted for child molestation several years earlier. The main cause of concern was that many of the production members had brought their family to the set. See more »Goofs
In the very first scene, the ambulance has a headlight out on the driver's side as the vehicle is driving towards you. When the scene shifts to the ambulance pulling up in front of the hospital, the headlight is out on the passenger's side of the vehicle. See more »Quotes

I didn't expect that this movie was so fantastic. It's not something to pass your time with, it's something deeper. Also you have to keep your mind open to understand. Sean Patrick Flanery was perfect as the main actor. If you want something more than a simple movie, see this one.
