Frailty Audience Reviews

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
strike-1995 A hidden gem with a young mconaughey on good form and envious confidence from Paxton behind the camera.
Majikat I always felt this film was a bit of a hidden treasure! A unique take of what could be classed as serial killing. Love the concept, a film you should never leave half way, commit to the full story or nothing at all. It has warranted many viewings for me, since 2001.
Bob An I just randomly picked up to watch this film and so glad I did. It is a great one! A psichological thriller with elements of horror and supernatural ( I dare say) in a very moody, dark, almost nausea feeling setting. From the moment the storyteller walks in to tell his story, you have a feeling that something is wrong - especially by the way he speaks ( very slowly ans as if in a dream).All actors were great! Adults and kids.Very interesting story and thought provoking. Maybe the beginning was a bit too slow but all in all, the pace of the film is great. The twists towards the end were really surprising! I must say the only thing that I did predict was the killing of the father. Somehow it was natural to be done and expected to be done. The end also left me a bit puzzled if the other brother was really killed and if he was really what the other one thought him ( and his father) to be. And if he was - what was his sin ? Maybe killing his father?For sure, one of the most interesting films I have seen in a while. Ten from me.
willhaskew A genuinely scary horror thriller, told in flashbacks, by a man named Fenton Meiks (Powers Boothe) to FBI Agent Wesley Doyle (Powers Boothe), about how Fenton's brother, Adam, was a serial killer called the "God's Hand" and committed suicide. As they drive to Fenton's hometown so they can corroborate his story, Fenton recounts growing up with Adam and his Dad (Bill Paxton), a widower and single father, who worked as a mechanic. Fenton and Adam's Dad comes homes from work and tells his sons that he's been given a holy vision telling him about demons walking around in human form. He believes he his sons are the front line in the war against hell on Earth. Fenton is skeptical of his Dad and Adam enthusiastically agrees with him. Fenton's Dad is given another vision showing him the tools he'll need to destroy these demons and the names of the people who must be killed. Fenton is horrified when he sees his Dad begin to abduct and murder random strangers. He is unable to reconcile his own disbelief in his Dad's visions and this leads to strife between him and his Dad. Truly a disturbing film that how thin a line there is between spiritual fervor and madness.
