Joshua

Joshua (2007) — watch online on iFILM: a slow-burn psychological thriller directed by George Ratliff, starring Sam Rockwell and Vera Farmiga. Brad and Abby Cairn have the kind of Manhattan life that looks perfect from the outside — the apartment, the careers, the precocious nine-year-old son. Then their daughter Lily arrives, and something shifts.

Joshua (Jacob Kogan) is polite, well-read, and eerily composed. The newborn won't stop crying. Abby fractures under the sleeplessness. Brad keeps watching his son — the piano practice, the precise questions, the calm that never breaks — and starts to wonder whether he's imagining things. He isn't. The film earns its dread through accumulation, not jump scares.

Rockwell and Farmiga are both fully committed to a story that never condescends to easy horror. Stream Joshua (2007) online on iFILM.
