Hoping for help with a horror movie title from the 2000s
I realize this is a long shot but it's been bugging me lately. I remember hiring a DVD back in the 2000s but cannot for the life of me remember the title.
I think Monster or Monsters was in the title. I can't remember much about the film, but here is what I do.
The film starts out with a mother, apparently possessed, trying to kill her sons. They survive and are separated, growing up apart. Both of them have unique abilities. One can read entire books simply by flicking through the pages, the other is a chess prodigy who has gone a bit crazy and lives in poverty. There's an entity that possesses others to get at them.
The brother that can read whole books instantly lives with another guy and his girlfriend who are murdered by the entity. He is then pursued by law enforcement as a suspect.
That's really all I can remember. I'd really like to see it again. Any help would be most appreciated.
