Frailty (2001)
There are demons among us
A pastor is gifted with the ability to see demons among the living and uses an axe to destroy them.
Bill Paxton's directorial debut is slow burner of religious terror. He needs to direct more films.
The frailty of ones family is at stake when the father believes he can rid the world of demons. One son believes him and helps him, while the other thinks he's crazy. Well, which is it? McConaughey tells the story to an FBI agent, so the film jumps back and forth between the present and the past.
I remember watching this film for the first time and not knowing what I just saw, but knowing that I liked the hell out of it. It's a disturbing tale of a broken family and one crazy man's way of trying to put it back together. The film will have you questioning whether or not the father really can see the demons and that's something to wrestle with during the ending.
