We see a rundown house in the woods as a woman's hand breaks out through the door she runs through woods across a river and onto a road where she is nearly struck by a car and we see her hold up her arm to show a bloody stump where her hand used to be and she screams, "He took my hand." We hear that a man killed 9 women before being shot to death by police (we see photos of dead bodies and severed hands on display stands in poses). ► A woman follows a swarm of flies through her house and into the basement where she finds pools of blood and maggots, blood pours from behind a board and when she pulls it away a dead dog falls out (we see a bloody wound on the animal and blood-covered garden shears, and it's possible that the animal's paw was severed). A woman is shot and we see blood on her abdomen and hands as she gasps on the ground (presumably she dies). ► Armed police surround a house and a man inside comes out holding something in his hand and points it toward them (please see the Sex/Nudity category for more details) he is shot and we see him dead with several bloody bullet holes, and we see that he was holding a woman's severed hand in his hand (the flesh is blue tinged). A woman loads a gun and threatens another woman with it (she does not shoot). A woman walks through a dimly lit house looking for a boy, and she walks down dark basement stairs and steps on broken glass (we see her bloody foot as she pulls shards of glass from it). ► A boy hits another boy with a large wrench several times (we do not see the result).

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.
