Review of Joshua (2002) by Mike S — 11 Mar 2008

I really want my time and money back. It was bad on every level, except for the occasional SUCH bad parts that it was hilarious... but those were few and far between. Also, it rips off of about three classic horror movies in a pathetic way, especially, most insultingly, to The Shining and The Omen.

I'd also really like to know how the grandma died by falling down the most gradually-sloped steps in the world, and how a 50-pound kid was able to push her 250-pound body hard enough to make her fall so hard.

Also, why the mom, after stepping on glass that she knew was there, started randomly talking about how sexy her red boots she once had were, while rubbing blood all over her legs, to her 10-year old kid.

..? And all of the other annoying things that she did. And also why the director couldn't realize that having the kid say 'mommy' or 'daddy' every 2 minutes followed by asking some innocent question was not scary, it was funny, and eventually annoying, and same with his playing dark piano music in every single scene.
