Frailty (film)

Frailty is a 2002 American psychological thriller film, directed by and starring Bill Paxton, and costarring Matthew McConaughey. It marks Paxtons directorial debut. The plot focuses on the strange relationship between two young boys and their fanatically religious, but seeminglyschizophrenic father, who believes that he has been commanded by God to kill demons disguised as people.

When the brothers were children, their father told them that hed been visited by an angel and tasked by God with destroying demons disguised as human beings. He explains that this mission is now the responsibility of the three of them and must be kept secret from all others. The fathers modus operandi is to wait for the angel to give him a list of names of those who must be destroyed. He then abducts an individual from the list, takes them to the family home and, with his sons present, touches them, which, he says, grants him a vision of the crimes the demon has committed. He then finishes the victim with an ax and buries the body in the rose garden.Adam believes in their fathers mission and says that he sees the same visions of the demons crimes that their father sees. Although he initially goes along out of fear, Fenton doesnt believe and is convinced that their father is psychotic who has brainwashed Adam. Eventually, Fenton tries to stop the crimes by telling the local sheriff what has happened. But when the disbelieving sheriff returns Fenton home, the father kills the sheriff. ........
