Review :

Sadly, it's quite boring.

I really really really wanted to like this movie. I bought the DVD without previously watching the movie (I will never do that again), I was hesitant but once I saw the endorsements from Stephen King, Sam Raimi and James Cameron among others on the DVD case I figured I was in for a good film. How wrong I was.

Bill Paxton is my favorite actor and thankfully most of the lack of excitement in this movie comes neither from his acting or his directing, it comes from the writers. For those who haven't seen the movie there are several twists at the end, unfortunately they are very unsatisfying because the previous 90 minutes of the movie are boring!!! I think the writers realized that the movie was awful so created the twists to make up for it.

I was surprised to see that the movie is listed as a horror movie on the DVD case. From the trailers I expected it to be a thriller, it is neither. The movie contains no scares, let alone suspense, it's not even disturbing due to one of the twists at the end (which I won't reveal). There also aren't any thrills so it's just as well it's not a thriller. The twists at the end are predictable. I rarely, if ever, guess how a movie is going to end, as I enjoy being surprised but in this case the twists were so apparent because the movie is so dull up until the final 10 minutes that you figure something has got to happen.

I think the worst part of it is the endorsements. If Raimi, King and Cameron think this is a good horror movie then what do we have to look forward to from them in the future? I think the reviews are a little too "friendly" as Paxton has appeared in several Cameron films and was in Indian Summer with Raimi.

I am a big fan of horror, not gore, so it wasn't the absence of blood which disappointed me. The fact that the murders were being committed in the name of God wasn't enough to scare or disturb me and the twist at the end just made the whole movie absurd. Perhaps I will find more to enjoy in the movie on subsequent viewings (seeing as I own it I might as well watch it again), now that my expectations of the movie have been significantly lowered. Very disappointing I rate Frailty a 3 out of 10.
