    • Trivia
      The entire movie uses only five locations: The interrogation room, the control room, the hallway, Dr Olivia's office and the park in the epilogue.
    • Goofs
      The chair that Fonda (Richard Neil) wedges into the door handle would do absolutely nothing to prevent someone from entering or exiting the room.
    • Quotes

      Ellie: I don't like that term. "Love." It's vague, overused.

      Fonda: How so?

      Ellie: Love is the guise under which selfishness operates. Parents only love their children so long as they maintain control over them.

    • Alternate versions
      There are two versions of Prodigy. One black and white, one color.

    Surprisingly Good Low Budget Film
    The psychologist Dr. Fonda (Richard Neil) is invited by his colleague and friend Dr. Olivia (Jolene Andersen) to analyze the girl Ellie (Savannah Liles) in a military facility directed by Mr. Birch (Emilio Palame). Dr. Fonda is monitored by experts and must decide the fate of Ellie, who is the result of a failed military experiment. Soon Dr. Fonda discovers that Ellie is an intelligent girl and also a menace since she has powerful abilities and the military intend to destroy her. But Dr. Fonda foresees a chance to control her. What will be Ellie´s fate?

    "Prodigy" is a surprisingly good low budget film. The storyline is tense and attractive but the conclusion is predictable. The plot is not original and there are many other films with powerful kids (maybe "Carrie" is the most famous) and Ellie recalls Carrie associated to Dr. Hannibal Lecter. But the conflict between emotion and reason is interesting. My vote is seven.

    Title (Brazil): "Prodigy"
