Emprise
Réalisé par Bill PaxtonLe Texas vit sous la terreur d'un tueur en série qui se fait appeler "La Main de Dieu". Un soir, un homme sans histoire, Fenton Meiks, se présente au QG du FBI et déclare connaître l'identité du coupable. Ce dangereux criminel ne serait autre que son frère, Adam, qui vient de se suicider.Alors qu'ils roulent en direction du "Jardin des roses", où les corps des victimes d'Adam sont enterrées, Fenton raconte aux agents fédéraux comment tout a commencé vingt ans plus tôt, en 1979. A l'époque, il était âgé de douze ans et son frère de neuf. Tous deux vivaient une enfance heureuse avec leur père, veuf depuis la naissance d'Adam. Pourtant, une nuit, leur vie bascula lorsque leur père leur annonça qu'un "ange" lui était apparu et qu'ils devaient accomplir une mission. Alors que l'un des deux fils accepte sans réserve cette vision divine, l'autre pense que son père sombre dans la démence.
Emprise Notations et commentaires
- Sarah J17 juin 2025Can’t believe I made it 24 years without ever seeing or hearing about this movie. Where has this been hiding?! Also no kid likes peas THAT much.
- Kevin Ward1 juillet 2025Love this movie. If you haven’t seen it, definitely seek it out. Paxton’s direction is really finely tuned. Wish he had been around to direct more features. Even better is his performance. On rewatch when you have the full context of his character’s motivations and actions you really see what an impressively nuanced performance it is.
- Robcradic31 août 2025A must watch with an unexpected ending! Great performance from Bill Paxton, Matthew McConaughey and Powers Booth.
- flavo4328 décembre 2025Frailty is a gripping psychological horror film that thrives on tension, ambiguity, and a slow‑burn sense of dread. Rather than relying on jump scares, it digs deep into the unsettling mindset of its characters, keeping you guessing right up to the final moments. The story’s focus on the so‑called God’s Hand killers creates an atmosphere that is both violent and dark, amplifying the sense that these individuals might be completely unhinged—or something far more disturbing. The film’s tone is oppressive in the best way, drawing you into a world where faith, delusion, and fear blur together. As the narrative unfolds, each revelation adds another layer of unease, culminating in an ending that lingers long after the credits roll. It’s haunting, chilling, and leaves you contemplating what the future holds for the characters and the twisted world they inhabit.
- GeNoScylla8 novembre 2025Very well made even though I am not sure if I like how it ended. Worth the watch regardless
- Amberjean Bohannon30 octobre 2025Amazing
- Niztradamus25 août 2025A really good thriller with superb acting. It really keeps you guessing throughout and every little detail matters. This one you will not want to miss. I would give it five stars if there weren't some small details, like some nonsensical reactions of adults in the movie.
- DavChar23 juillet 2025Well, that was...unexpected. This is not a serial killer movie, it's a psychological movie about a serial killer. Very little gore. However, this is a slow burn until the last half hour, when everything you thought you knew, was wrong. An excellent movie.
- Duncanmac7620 juillet 2025Slow build up story but with a great twist at the end.
