"Frailty" was quite a surprise. At first it was very intriguing. Bill Paxton's character is a father raising two boys by himself. They're very happy and then one night the father enters the boys' bedroom and tells them that an angel has visited him and told him that he is to kill demons disguised as humans. Then he turns out the light and exits the bedroom leaving the boys even more in the dark. From that point on the movie is brutal and violent. It's not overly gory, it's just tough to watch because of the way Paxton's character brings his boys into the demon-hunter role. The hardest part to watch is the father trying to get his sons to kill the demons with him. As the story was building, I got a nagging feeling that this was and had turned into another run-of-the-mill religious wacko killer story.... But then...something happens. Something unexpected. Something that turned the movie into something memorable. Many won't like the ending but I think it really saved Paxton's first directorial effort and excellent performance.

Some people say that The Sixth Sense has the greatest twist of all time. Well this one has got to be up there. It has multiple great twists. It's one big mindf**k of a movie in a great way. One of my all time favorites. Great perfomances by McConaughey and the late great Bill Paxton.

Saw most of the twist coming from 20-30 minutes in, but not the very last bit.

Whew this was a freaky one. I was positive I was one step ahead of the story the whole way. I. Was. Not. Again...whew.

The setup was ok, but the actual twist wasn't that great. In fact i was thinking about it almost from the start. The story itself is not bad, but it didn't really blew my mind. And, tbh, the actual [spoiler] "supernatual" side of the story that it only becomes truly real in the last 10 minutes, for me it somehow made it worse. If the whole thing was just a story of a family of psychos, it may have been a 6; but seeing that actually there was some "power" involved, watered it down[/spoiler]. For me is a merely 5
