Joshua (2007)

While I was watching this, my thoughts were focused on "but why??" I mean, I've seen movies where kids were creepy and/or evil because they were aliens or Satan's spawn -- but just evil for the sake of evil is nonsensical. I mean, why would a smart kid willfully destroy his family? Isn't he worried about foster care? Doesn't threatening his own security go rather against his best interests?

The movie does manage to save itself in the last three minutes or so -- in that space my big questions were answered and things made a bit more sense. Still, it doesn't make up for the fact that I was annoyed for 95% of the film.

Anyway, I would've wanted to be far away from those people and that sterile-looking apartment too.
