Frailty

One of the great twisted movies of all time. This movie revolves around a family of three during the sixties. A Father, Bill Paxton, raising his two young sons, Fenton and Adam. What I don't like about this film is the fact it is sold in the "Horror" section of the video stores, and that is how it gets classified. I don't particularly care for horror movies, which is why I didn't see this film for a long time. Once I did watch it, I was perturbed I had waited as long as I did. It is absolutely genius. One day while at work as a mechanic, Dad (Paxton) has a vision of the angel of death turning the will of God over to him. He truly is a disturbed man, that feels he can best serve his family by doing what the angel has told him. He is so convinced, he immediately tells his boys of what's to come. Fenton is the older of the two boys. He is probably around 12 and has major issues with what his Father has proclaimed. Adam, 7 or so, is much more impressionable, and believes his Father's every word. This causes him and Fenton to argue a lot. Adam asks certain questions of his father. Such as, How will you know it's a demon. They call their victims, Demons. Dad has very few answers for the boys at first, but he is quite certain, when God calls, there will be no mistaken it. God will provide him with the tools necessary to do his new line of work, Destroying Demons. Dad is given two specific tools chosen by God to help his new Earthly angel. He has also informed his boys that if they tell anyone, someone could really get hurt. He doesn't want his killing spree ruined by his snot nosed little brats. Fenton is completely lost about his Dad's mentality. He really feels he has lost his marbles. Fenton tries to explain to him that the "Demons" are just people. His Father will not hear of it. He tries to work Fenton, very laboriously I might add, into believing what they are doin is good and just. Doesn't work to well. It would be a very trying time in any ones family. You know what they say? "The Family that slays together, stays together." (I just made that up right now. Pretty impressive, huh?) One of my all time favorite movies, and if the "Horror" title turned you off all those years ago, you have to trust me. It's not horrific in the least. I would classify it as a Thriller.
