Joshua

Sam Rockwell and Vera Farmiga begin to suspect that their perfect little boy, Joshua, is a burgeoning homicidal sociopath. While the tone of the trailer was deadly serious, and Rockwell appears to give another strong performance, I couldn't help but think I've already seen this concept done to death. It's plainly obvious from the creepy shit the boy says that he is unhinged, and yet the parents do nothing but worry to themselves and their friends. Any normal parents would stick him in therapy and fill him full of happy drugs. Hell, parents these days do that just to stop their kids from singing loudly in the shower. But not in the movies. It takes a dead dog and a kidnapped baby before they start to think "something may be wrong with our son." Really? You mean the kid with the dead eyes who is always wearing a formal black suit and smirking? Never would have guessed it.
