Jimmy is a committed child psychologist who uses his own playbook, but when he is brought in to work with Ellie, he is completely unprepared for his subject—a 9-year-old psychopathic genius with nothing to lose. As he begins to understand the extent of her capabilities and the fate that has been planned for her, he struggles to overcome her defenses before it is too late for them both.

    An interesting low budget variation of "Firestarter" (1984). Savannah Halliday steals to show playing the 9 year old Elle with supernatural powers.

    Great movie. Way different from any other movie out there and great performances from the two main leads. Especially the little girl.

    Pretty solid low budget sci-fi flick. 80 minutes which I loved. Good pacing

    Very slow, bad acting & dry

    My quick rating - 6.2/10. Fearing what you don't understand. Great acting by the little girl in this one.
