FBI agent Wesley Doyle is startled by the declaration of youngster Fenton Meiks about how his father's delusions required him and his brother, Adam to become his 'demon-slaying' murder accomplices. But when Doyle accepts to be shown concealed victim graves, the plot twists in the present just as gruesome.

Frailty Ratings & Reviews

  • Kevin WardJune 30, 2025
    Love 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.

    Can’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.
