A beautiful exploration of what having blind faith means

Frailty is a psychological thriller released in 2001 but definitively one escaped from the 90s, the pacing, narrative and visual style undeniably make it feel like so.The film follows two little boys, the brothers Adam and Fenton Meiks, and their dad (Bill Paxton), a typical family in a small town in Texas, that is until an angel reveals a mission to the father, a holly one, one sent by god himself and that mission is to destroy the evil on Earth, to destroy demons.The greatness of this film rests on the narration style and the multiple plot twists along the way. It's not visually impressive, and the score is nothing to remember; besides a jump scare here and there you will not be frightened while watching this film. However one thing Frailty gets right is storytelling, keeping you on the edge of your seat basically for its entirety.The central theme of Frailty is religion. I find the film to be a beautiful exploration of what having blind faith means and how god works in mysterious ways.Directed by Bill Paxton (his first work as a director), Frailty is, and will continue to be my favorite horror film of all time, and watching it multiple times just make me appreciate it time and time again, but in a different way every time. If you have not watched it, you are missing out big time!

That Was Crazy!

"That was crazy!" was my response to nobody after watching this movie by myself. As this dark movie was slowly snaking its way toward a conclusion I kept wondering, "What's going to happen here?"

"Frailty" starts with Matthew McConaughey's character seated in a Dallas FBI office waiting to talk to a particular agent. When the agent, Wesley Doyle (Powers Boothe), finally meets Matthew M., M.M. conspicuously doesn't shake his hand and proceeds to tell Doyle that he knows who the God's Hand killer is. From there M.M. goes into a story going back to 1979 and his father (Bill Paxton) who believed he was receiving divine guidance to kill. His dad was such a believer that he included his sons in his "work." Dad said that he was called upon by the Lord to "destroy demons" who walked around in human form. He even had a list of names that was revealed to him.

*Just imagine the show "Supernatural" if Sam and Dean Winchester were hunting people.

While M.M. is telling this story we're seeing it happen as a flashback. The longer he tells this story the more you're wondering where it's going to wind up, but you're totally engrossed in the entire ordeal because a DUDE IS KILLING PEOPLE WITH HIS YOUNG SONS, and one of them whole-heartedly believes his dad.

The craziness doesn't stop until the very end where we get a serious twist. The thing about twist endings is that a movie has to be compelling enough up until that point. Using the IMDb scale, a movie can't be a 1/10 for an hour and a half and then throw a 10/10 twist in there. No one is going to bear through a paltry movie just for a good ending. A movie has to be at least a 5/10 to make an ending worth it. This movie was better than a 5/10 already, and the 9/10 ending only made it better.
