Bill Paxton is one of my favorite actors, so it was a thrill to see that his directorial debut -- in which he also starred -- was so damn good. From my review of Frailty:

How good is this flick? In the horrifying way that it turns the supernatural and the insane into an ordinary part of everyday life, it out-Kings Stephen King. It's like one of those scarifying episodes of The X-Files -- like the one where the inbreds kept their mother/wife under the bed *heebie-jeebie* -- before it started to suck. It's totally perverse -- that's a compliment -- in that don't-touch-me, I-need-a-shower way.
