This one will throw you for a total loop... Soooo unexpected and guessing the whole time. A little slow to start but well worth the wait once you see the ending through.

This was a pretty pointless and way-too-slo-burn movie that just felt like a big waste of time.

Please, families, don't live too far away from other people. This is what happens when you don't get into town enough.

Dilts and Grashaw build out “What Josiah Saw” thoughtfully, letting the dread from one story bleed into the next, until everything is covered in a dark, dark stain.

The family trauma is so clotted-thick, a faster pace and tightened-up editing might have eradicated the slow-motion underwater feel of the whole.

Rated: 2/4

Guardian

It has a stubborn, almost literary feel for character that accumulates a baleful momentum by the time the finale hits.

Rated: 4/5

The UnderSCENE

What Josiah Saw is a slow-burn psychological thriller in which the story is spread out to reveal what is underneath the terrible lives of the Graham siblings.

Always Good Movies

There’s absolutely nothing charming or pleasant in this bleak slow-burner, and what remains is both shocking and creepy-crawly enough to make us remember it.

Rated: 3.5/5
