Can you suggest other Joshuas out there?


Jodie Foster as The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane?
Macaulay Culkin as The Good Son?

I'm specifically looking for main characters <18 who kill as a reaction (or, over-reaction) to a perceived threat.

I have a screenplay that has a Ripleyesque boy in it.
It's called Ulterious, and you can read about it here: http://ulterious.blogspot.com/

I want to see if I've missed out on any good young villains.

You might want to check out "Mikey" (from 1994) with Brian Bonsall. You might also like "The Butcher Boy" (1997), "The Paper Boy" (1994), "Pin: a plastic nightmare" (1988 I believe, with David Hewlett as a teenage schizophrenic), The Daisy Chain (2008), The Other (1972), Twisted (1986 with Christian Slater)- all of those fit your basic description. Also try "Home Movie" with Adrian Pasdar.

Also check out Whisper (2007- II haven't seen it yet though so can't tell you about motive) and Who can kill a child? (1978 I believe, again, they see adults as a threat but maybe not the way you would imagine).

If you just want kid killers, also try The Children (1980 and the remake).

Psycho kid movies? I love them!
