It had potential, but the story falls flat and the characters don’t really stick with you.
I caught THE PRODIGY at the Chicago Horror Film Festival. I'm not normally into serial-killer movies, but I dug this one for its focus on character and its interesting -- and economical -- photography. A tight little movie.
A sequel to the Adam story from Adam in Fragments (2022), because there is a clear ending. Both films take you on a journey with the Adam character through harrowing situations. Calvin Picou shifts from soft and sweet, newly out of the closet, in Adam in Fragments and its sequel, to a cool, monotone, Patrick Bateman-like killer. Beau Swartz goes the distance. His Adam needed a hug and some money. I appreciated what it was trying to do. Some editing could have made this more impactful, since some parts dragged on.
Een wanhopige sekswerker genaamd Adam trekt de woestijn in met een man die een seriemoordenaar blijkt te zijn, terwijl een andere hustler een gevaarlijke relatie met hem aangaat.
De film is in 2024 geregisseerd door Omar Salas Zamora.
