The Best “Joshua”

February 26th, 2008 by Joshua

So far I’ve seen three movies named “Joshua”, which is a great name for a movie, for obvious reasons. Two of them were horror and one was sappy Christian. I couldn’t even sit through the sappy Christian one. The first horror was a low-budget flick by Fangoria, which I think is a horror magazine. It wasn’t very memorable, and I really don’t remember it. But this latest “Joshua” is good enough to earn such a good name. The kid named “Joshua” is very creepy. He gets away with murder, because who would suspect a little boy? Strangely I saw this just after another flick about a boy around the same age, “Birth“. “Birth” handled the reincarnation thing in a different way than “Audrey Rose”, and gives us a way to explain how the kid knows what he knows. But I’m getting off track here, aren’t I? This is supposed to be about “Joshua”! Anyway, Joshua was a good horror flick. No gore, but suspenseful and creepy. Worth seeing. The way the kid’s parents are portrayed is interesting, especially the clueless yuppie father. The yuppie father’s life is hell even before the kid starts acting out, but the kid is the final straw.
