Frailty

...an irregular B horror movie. Also a religio-nutsothriller. Plus, it's a twisted bonding movie...

A sound debut, hamstrung by a ridiculous twist, but the promise just about eclipses the premise.

Bill Paxton's directorial debut is a dark tale told almost entirely in flashback, and maintains a nicely creepy atmosphere from start to twist ending.

...a complex film that grips us with the intensity of a simple one. We're with it every step of the way, and discover we hardly suspect where it is going.

...there's something more at play here than who's-the-killer and who's-killing-who.
