If you loved The Pact, try The Prodigy

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Nicholas McCarthy, and they both carry the dread, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Horror / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Pact, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Prodigy is

Ohio. Winter. A shattered snowglobe. A young boy’s brilliance grows, twinned with outbursts of rage. His mother searches for the source, finding a darkness she cannot comprehend, let alone control. McCarthy here finds fresh chills in occult-horror DNA.
