User blog:DragonDude83/PE Proposal: Edward Scarka

I don’t know if I can do this, but I’m going to make a proposal for a villain that hasn’t had his page created yet, Edward Scarka from The Prodigy.

What is The Prodigy?

The Prodigy is a 2019 horror film that follows the story of an 8 year old boy named Miles Bloom. He appeared incredibly intelligent beyond his years, but there is a dark side to Miles. Turns out his body was host to a soul of a serial killer named Edward Scarka, who was killed shortly before Miles was born.

Who is Edward Scarka, and What Has He Done?
Edward Scarka is a vicious serial killer born to Hungarian parents. Before the film’s events, he has murdered nine women and cut off their hands as trophies. Before he could kill his 10th victim, Margaret St. James, she got away, and told the cops were Scarka was located, where they gunned him down.

Right after dying, Miles Blume was born, and Scarka’s soul possesses the baby. Within years, he takes control of Miles’ body, while Miles’ soul was used as a passenger. While possessing Miles, he kills (or at least severely injures) one of his fellow classmates with a pipe wrench, and kills the family dog. While put under hypnosis by Colm Feore, Scarka is in full control, revealing his past, and blackmails the doctor to taking medications (with an 8 year old body) and make it look like the doctor molested Miles. So the doctor gives Miles back to the parents. The parents decide to have Miles committed. While the dad, John, was driving Miles away with seat belts instead of being restrained, Scarka stabs him with sharpened hedge clippers, causing him to crash and go in a coma. So the mother, Sarah, makes the brilliant decision to drive Scarka/Miles to Margaret St. James so he can fulfill "unfinished business," despite the fact that unrepentant serial killers will continue killing.

So instead of going to a priest, Sarah goes to Margaret’s house, and attempts to kill her, but couldn’t go through with it, with Scarka busting in and butchers Margaret himself. He also tries to murder Sarah, and reveals that he disposed of Miles’ soul and has full control of his body. Sarah tries to kill him, but a farmer shoots her, and Scarka feigns innocence.

Final scene, Scarka in his innocent boy body is welcomed into a foster family, and he admires his foster mother’s hands. The final scene shows Scarka looking at his true self in the mirror.

Heinousness
He’s an unrepentant serial killer in a little boy’s body.

Mitigating factors
Pfft!

Final verdict:

Yes, and I actually paid to see this in theaters.
