WHAT JOSIAH SAW is a US horror drama in which a family reunite at their remote farmhouse to confront the sins of their past.
violence
There are occasional references to a group of siblings having been physically and sexually abused in childhood by their father, including verbal descriptions of acts of violence and sight of scars on their bodies. Strong scenes of bloody violence show people being stabbed or struck with bladed weapons, or bludgeoned to death, and in another scene a woman experiences a gory nightmare in which she repeatedly stabs herself in her abdomen.
sexual violence and sexual threat
There is a sustained scene in which a man forces his distressed adult son to masturbate in front of him, without strong visual detail. There are also references to a girl having been sexually abused by one or more members of her immediate family, resulting in pregnancy. A brief strong flashback scene shows two adult siblings having sex.
additional issues
There are scenes of strong horror, including infrequent ‘jump scare’ moments. We see a child curled up on the ground near the dead body of his mother in the aftermath of her off-screen suicide, but there is no visible injury detail. A man has sex with a woman in exchange for drugs in a strong sequence featuring vigorous thrusting, moaning and rear nudity. Another man snorts lines of heroin after being tricked into believing it’s cocaine, resulting in an overdose. There is use of strong language (‘f**k’); milder terms include ‘whore’, ‘bitch’, ‘shit’, ‘titties’, 'bastard' and ‘ass’. The film features negative stereotypical depictions of Romani people, in addition to use of discriminatory terms such as ‘retard’, ‘gimp’, ‘gypsy’, ‘queer’ and ‘sissy boy’.
