    Lambs To The Slaughter...
    JOSHUA isn't a bloody, jolting, or overtly terrifying movie. It's not supposed to be. It's unsettling and creepy because of its subject matter: the story of sociopathy / psychopathy in the 9 year old boy of the title. A boy who appears to have no moral boundaries whatsoever.

    His parents (Vera Farmiga and Sam Rockwell) are a typical, overly-busy couple with a new baby. The family is slowly and methodically undermined. Ultimately, mom and dad blame each other. As for the baby... well...

    This movie gets under the skin and digs around! It sticks in the head as well. The ending is both horrific and heartbreaking...
