Critics consensus

“The Prodigy doesn't take the bad seed genre to any truly new places, but for horror fans in search of an evil child to fear, it might still be worth a watch.”

There are a couple moments when it works... [but] I would say go back and watch The Omen or The Bad Seed [instead].

Not even an amiable central performance from Taylor Schilling...and some early atmospheric mood-setting can save this "demon child" knock-off from its ineptitude.

It's an unscary scary movie that quickly abandons the very thing that might have made it interesting...

It’s not fun, and it’s barely entertaining. Does that make it bad? I don’t think so, just pretty sub-par.
