A boy stabs a man driving a car in the back with garden shears (we see blood), the car slams into a tree and the man is thrown into the windshield (his seatbelt was cut) we see the man in the hospital on a ventilator, wearing a neck brace and with stitches in his face. A boy stabs a woman in the side (we see blood on her shirt), she falls to the floor and the boy stands over her trying to stab her again and when she blocks the blade with her hand she is cut (we see her bloody hand) the boy then slams the blade in her abdomen and draws it across (we hear tearing flesh and see a lot of blood as she dies). A woman pulls her hand away from her young son and says, “I don’t like it when you touch me like that.” A boy climbs in bed with his mother, snuggles against her back and places his hand on her shoulder. We see a shirtless man in a mirror (his bare chest and abdomen are seen). A shirtless boy is shown in a hospital (we see his bare chest and abdomen).

A fully nude male newborn is cleaned after delivery and we see his chest, abdomen and genitals. – A fully nude man comes out of a rundown house and we see his bare chest, abdomen, pubic hair and what may be an extremely brief glimpse of his genital area to face armed police (please see the Violence/Gore category for more details).

Read our parents’ guide below for details on sexual content, violence & strong language.” Why is “The Prodigy” rated R? The MPAA rating has been assigned for “violence, disturbing and bloody images, a sexual reference and brief graphic nudity.” The evaluation includes a few scenes of touching and embracing between a boy and his mother that are uncomfortable because it is suggested that a man is in the boy’s body, a fully nude man and a fully nude infant are briefly seen, several brutal murders and attacks that end in death with very bloody wounds are shown (mostly carried out by a young boy), and at least 1 F-word.
