the only horror is: people have been exposed to this crap


I simply can't believe how bad this movie was, but what really irritated me was that friends, family members, cast and crew were obviously the only people commenting on this flick in the guise of the "unbiased masses".

I (used to) come to IMDb in order to be better informed when choosing a film to see, rent or buy – but I think it's high time IMDb started ensuring, at least one or two, unbiased and intelligent reviews. Perhaps an on-staff or free lance reviewer – maybe a link to responsible reviewers.

The "reviews" of this film were clearly written by people involved with the film and or its cast and crew. Due to the bias, I wasted an hour and a half of my life, not to mention the spondole needed to pay for this ka ka.

The premise actually had promise, unfortunately this film was execrable!

The "director" should be fed to the protagonist piecemeal.

The actors were quite clearly "acting".

The camera people, in no way to be confused with "cinematographers", should be forced (clockwork orange style) to view the frames from 42:23 – 42:50 mins ad infinitum, the camera stays focused center but James moves to the left and we are all left staring at a dung orange colored wall and James's "evil eye".

As for the make-up, I've seen better on crack whores.

The script "writers" should be forced to renounce their membership in the Writers Guild of America (WGA), if, for no other reason than writing such drivel as: when Kelby walks into James' home for the first time James: "I'm afraid the life of an accountant isn't as glamorous as you might have thought"

Having said all that, I'd like to say this: I am one of the most easily frightened people on the planet… this flick didn't frighten me a bit!

Maybe its just not main stream enough for some people. This film was great for a low budget movie, and I’m assuming mags22 isn’t a fan of low budget horror flicks. Things are never perfect in these kinds of movies but most fans are willing to let a few things slide and enjoy the movie as a whole instead of picking holes in it because it doesn’t have the funds for the best actors known to man or the greatest special effects. Put simply if you’re a fan of low budget horror movies then you'll probably be pleasantly surprised with Joshua. Oh and I’m in no way related to this movie aside from the fact I own it and I obviously really liked it.

I loved this place. Thought to myself: not so often you get see this composition instead of boring "face in the middle".
