  Totally unfrail
  
  A decent enough directorial debut from Bill Paxton, although I did guess the ending half way through. The story is good and down-right creepy at times, ... read more »

  Hardly frail at all
  
  A movie that manages to bring a mix of divine inspiration and insanity to the same plot about a murderous family doing 'God's work'. A very sleek ... read more »

  Creepy freaky stuff!
  
  Odd plot but great cast & nice twist at the end makes this movie quite good. Bit bored at times with all the God's crap but good overall.

  A bit frail
  
  I think the average of 3 stars so far awarded to this film is a bit generous, so I have only put 2.5. The film is watchable, just, and the plot is reasonable ... read more »

  Better twist than 'The Sixth Sense'
