FBI agent Wesley Doyle is startled by the declaration of youngster Fenton Meiks about how his father's delusions required him and his brother, Adam to become his 'demon-slaying' murder accomplices. But when Doyle accepts to be shown concealed victim graves, the plot twists in the present just as gruesome.

  • Great movie. I want to critique its plotholes but alas, it is not Gods will. For that would make me a demon 😈. So forget proper FBI procedure and evidence gathering, it has no purpose in this film. Tis but barely inconveniencing playthings for Gods judgment… apparently.

    Can’t believe I made it 24 years without ever seeing or hearing about this movie. Where has this been hiding?! Also no kid likes peas THAT much.

    A must watch with an unexpected ending! Great performance from Bill Paxton, Matthew McConaughey and Powers Booth.

    Love this movie. If you haven’t seen it, definitely seek it out. Paxton’s direction is really finely tuned. Wish he had been around to direct more features. Even better is his performance. On rewatch when you have the full context of his character’s motivations and actions you really see what an impressively nuanced performance it is.

    A really good thriller with superb acting. It really keeps you guessing throughout and every little detail matters. This one you will not want to miss. I would give it five stars if there weren't some small details, like some nonsensical reactions of adults in the movie.

    Well, that was...unexpected. This is not a serial killer movie, it's a psychological movie about a serial killer. Very little gore. However, this is a slow burn until the last half hour, when everything you thought you knew, was wrong. An excellent movie.

    Frailty is a gripping psychological horror film that thrives on tension, ambiguity, and a slow‑burn sense of dread. Rather than relying on jump scares, it digs deep into the unsettling mindset of its characters, keeping you guessing right up to the final moments. The story’s focus on the so‑called God’s Hand killers creates an atmosphere that is both violent and dark, amplifying the sense that these individuals might be completely unhinged—or something far more disturbing. The film’s tone is oppressive in the best way, drawing you into a world where faith, delusion, and fear blur together. As the narrative unfolds, each revelation adds another layer of unease, culminating in an ending that lingers long after the credits roll. It’s haunting, chilling, and leaves you contemplating what the future holds for the characters and the twisted world they inhabit.

    Very well made even though I am not sure if I like how it ended. Worth the watch regardless

    Slow build up story but with a great twist at the end.
