Diagnosis
If you think something is really wrong with your child, you might be right! “Joshua” is evidence that it is possible to get everything wrong – you can have a bad movie and a bad child.
In this film, the very serious issues of postpartum depression and child abuse are treated poorly in this poor-man’s excuse for “The Omen.” This movie should be retitled, “Joshua: The Care and Feeding of a Serial Killer.”
Remedy
If you feel bad about sitting through this movie, take some time and educate yourself about child abuse and postpartum depression. These are serious problems and as such deserve a better vehicle than this story.
