Just watched this again recently. It's a very good thriller with a very interesting ending. I love when all the pieces fit together perfectly at the end. Not an A+ movie, but definitely a B+ and absolutely worth watching.
It was boring and never scary. I don't understand why this father would randomly assume everyone's a demon. It was religious, but it wasn't scary or paced well. They were doing God's work, but were they good or bad? When I saw it in the theater, I was looking forward to it, but it seems unfocused and not memorable.
a haunting thriller. a masterpiece. a brilliant collection of twists. impressive performance of Bill Paxton. and more. because it is the kind of film who could be defined as experience. because the impression of quicksands is the basic virtue of this story about religious pretext, appearances, fear and a form of duty who ruins everything you believe. and this is the great traits of "Frailty". to be a challenge step by step. to provokes you. to give the answer who change everything. and to say - maybe , I knew that !. but, only maybe.
This was a good film until it was ruined by a twist ending, and not even an honest twist ending, but a cheating one. It took a great film and used a hackneyed device and ruined it. I don't know why they couldn't just trust they plot to play itself out. I also thought the form of the father's madness was a bit too predictable and not terribly realistic. The lead character's performance was very good. RIP Bill Paxton and Powers Boothe.
