Frailty

Astounding debut feature from Bill Paxton. One of THE great works of religious horror. Blind faith poisoning the fractured mind. How man so broken in despair clings onto disillusioned ideas of a greater purpose. Visions born out of fear and hopelessness. An existential reckoning fuelling endless waking nightmares and terror. Among the bleakest works of fiction I’ve encountered, made only more enthralling as told through the eyes of the children who lived it. How parental trauma can stir the darkness in a child’s mind and strip away all innocence. Maddening yet endlessly thought provoking as you try to decipher if you are witnessing divine intervention or radicalised psychosis.  A knockout infernal masterwork.
