was Josh a psychopath all along or did the death of Daryl trigger something.

The way I interpreted his character was that he was a child who was deep into fantasy, when he accidentally caused the death of Daryl, he took on a villain persona to help him cope with what he had done and by the end, his "villain character" went too far into fantasy.

I can't say that Josh is a straight up psychopath, because he seemed genuinely distraught over what he did.

The film didn't really make sense to me. They should have had Zach be the crazy one. He should have thought that Josh was trying to kill the chick, but it turns out that the two ended up hooking up because Zach kept rejecting her. That's how it should have happened.

I agree, Josh ending up going on a samurai spree did not make any sense to me at all. It was more realistic for Zach to have gone over the deep end with his paranoia about Josh and it was all in his head.

This would have been so much better.

Agree totally.

I think Josh had some obvious rage issues even before killing Daryl. After the killing, he was sent into a spiral of psychosis and paranoia about who might expose him, and if/when the opportunity arose, he also tried to kill these people. It didn't make much sense that he'd want to kill Allison, but then his thought process was probably all twisted up by this point.
