Joshua

directed by George Ratliff

with Sam Rockwell, Vera Farmiga, Celia Weston, Dallas Roberts, Michael McKean

If The Omen were made in the twenty-first century as an independent psychological thriller comedy it would resemble Joshua. Joshua is not your typical 9-year-old. He wears suits and doesn't like sports. When his parents give birth to a new baby, Joshua becomes obsessively jealous, planning the ruin of his perfect family. "A nifty psychological thriller—part Bad Seed, part Rosemary's Baby—that deals in a manner both comic and creepy with the parental anxieties of a Manhattan haute yuppie family."
