Fresh: Joshua is a reason for applause.
Customer Reviews
It's ok
Why this movie is placed within the "horror" genre is beyond me. It's a "psychological thriller" at best... personally, I didn't really think it was that much of a thriller.... so maybe "psychological drama" would have been better. The movie is not all that bad, but it just wasn't quite right... it was too obvious from the start, and offered no surprise elements. If you're going to establish from the get go that the kid is messed up... then treat the audience with respect and give them a SMART film, something that makes us think, and discover... Honestly, I just don't think this movie was good enough... save for when you just have nothing else to watch.
good movie
the boy's acting was truly awesome what actually makes me feel that it was a good movie. what I didn't like was the ending and some parts of the plot which just didn't seem to be logical. I don't want to say anything more because then there would be no reason for you to watch this movie (what you actually should do). enjoy watching and hopefully you will understand what I ment afterwards ;)
great movie
i saw it last night and wow. i would hate to live in the hell he caused. well im not gonna say anymore cuz I'll spoil it. so just watch it. =]
