Movie Summary
"What Josiah Saw" is a mental scary movie released in 2021, directed by Vincent Grashaw and composed by Robert Alan Dilts. The story unfolds following the exploits of a family with a tormented past who reunite in their deserted household house, resulting in a series of eerie and frightening occasions.

Plot Summary
The movie begins by clarifying the character of Josiah, played by Robert Patrick, a profound religious man trapped in his painful past. Josiah lives alone in his mostly deserted household farmhouse, tortured by visions of horror from his past. Earlier experiences have actually left him haunted, filled with regret, and locking fervently to his faith as a source of comfort.

The storyline then incorporates the lives of Josiah's separated adult children; Marybeth, a reassuring, soft-spoken lady, struggling to manage her relationship with her abusive other half, who is prone to fits of cruelty; Thomas, a dejected, on-edge gambler battling his dependency and drowning in financial obligations; and Eli, a closed-off, quiet man navigating through life with unmentioned pain and an aura of mystery.

Unfolding Events
A possibility encounter Lady Luck, a charismatic yet peculiar complete stranger played by Nick Stahl, provides an unforeseen turn of events. Lady Luck, hungry for power and dominance, reveals his longing to get Josiah's farmland and will stop at absolutely nothing to get what he desires. As the story unfolds, the kids concern terms with the return to an old family filled with worrying memories and uneasy feelings. Coincidences and minutes of déjà vu appear common as the household gets drawn deeper into their past, setting off fear and insecurities.

Family Reunion and Revelation
The oppressive past of the family takes shape as the household returns and firms up a resolution to confront and beat their tormented history. At the same time, the impact of Lady Luck continues, exposing troubling tricks and inner demons within their household, resulting in revelations that are both stunning and scary.

Climax and Ending
Without handing out spoilers, the climax of "What Josiah Saw" is a ripping culmination of fear, stress, and a well-executed twist. The ending is successful in connecting all loose ends and leaves audiences immersed in a chilling environment. The movie concludes with a dash of irony and an admixture of redemption and retribution, acting as a guttural expedition of familial scary, regret, and forgiveness.

Total Impression
