* [[Ambiguously Gay]]:
** Uncle Ned is this
** Some see Joshua as this even though he's only 9.
* [[Children Are Innocent]]: No they're not. One of the taglines is even: "Not all children are innocent."
* [[Creepy Child]]: the titular character.
* [[Dawson Casting]]: 12
* [[Failed a Spot Check]]: {{spoiler|The kid throws his grandmother down the stairs in a public place in broad daylight. Witnesses...}}
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]:
** Vera Farmiga who plays the mom in Joshua also plays the mom in ''[[Orphan]]'. Coincidentally both characters have their share of mental instability problems and at odds with their mother-in-law
** Also ''[[Star Trek (film)|Star Trek]]'' fans may recognize Joshua as playing Young Spock in the 2009 film. Oddly enough, Young Kirk was played by Jimmy Bennett who played Vera's non-evil son in the other evil kid movie she was in.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Well ambiguously be the reason the dog is found dead.
* [[Kudzu Plot]]: A fair few of the hints the film gives to explain things just raise further questions.
