Preview: Joshua (2007)

• Poster: D+

Review:

The poster looks nice, but it says very little, if anything, about the film's plot. It might cause people to ask what the movie is, but it's not going to draw in an audience or engage a poster collector.

• Trailer: C-

Review:

What a thoroughly unengaging preview. The critics' quips suggest something more than the trailer does. The film looks like another stale twist on a classic horror thriller. This one seems to have The Omen written all over it.

Oscar Prospects:

The remake of The Omen didn't figure into the Oscars and since the original only had music nominations, I can't see them going for Joshua.

Release Date:

• July 6, 2007
