#Frailty #BillPaxton #TheBestMovieYouNeverSaw
Such and underrated movie! Bill paxton directed the shit out of this movie. RIP BILL
He did an amazing job & love that he kept enough mystery around Dad’s powers until the final sequence
It got a 7.2 on IMDB and everyone iv'e ever known who's seen it loves it...... Where was it underatted?
Writer, Brent Hanley says - “it’s biographical, jokingly”. Yeah, Brent, along with Paxton, McConaughey, and Booth all grew up in Texas where the idea of “personified evil” is very much a part of your childhood. Those raised in TX, in a church-going, lower-middle class home, truly get this film on a whole different level. 😜. The doctrine may have messed with your head, but it kept you on the ‘straight and narrow’, until you were old enough to truly develop your own inner philosophy. IMO - the children actors in this film were remarkable.
Still my favorite movie of all time
He wanted to show the demons secrets when he touched them... It was David Cameron who suggested leaving it till the end. Paxton was a hack
The children actors are so great in this movie.
It had always been a sore spot that this movie isn't more recognized/ appreciated
RIP Bill Paxton
Absolutely, this is one of my top 10s and not enough people talk about Frailty
just saw it loved it
Same, incredibly underrated. I guess I’m a bit biased since Matt O’Leary could have been my damn twin as a kid. We looked nearly identical,
This film is not underrated it's just not been seen by enough people, great film.
nah its also underrated. if u check its reviews on imdb and shit it got like 60 to 70 percent. i mean thats good but its more like a 90 to a 100 percent
@@prajwaldas1682 Most people didn't like it.. Because that's the way they are.. My wife & i loved it.
My dancer Prada Sister in-law thought it was stupid. lol
I like the FBI cop actor. he's always been fire.
It’s a low budget Canadian film (before it was cool). I think it was dismissed/never taken seriously…
That's literally the definition of underrated
@danielcurtis1434 it's not Canadian at all. The leads and director were from Texas and it was shot in California
I remember just buying this movie when I was in the Navy and I had no clue about the film. Played it on the ship with a bunch of my shipmates watching and everyone thought it was a really good movie. One of the best blind purchases I’ve ever done.
Must have been a good time
We did have a good time
@@Pupeyes Heck yeah man.
No one saw the film's twist ending! I certainly didn't see it coming, and thought, holy crap!;
This video did a great job I’m not spoiling it either. I hope everyone else who has seen this movie as you and I have keep silent about it. It is truly a must see.
Non,Player, Adeptus Nooo! That’s impossible.
I didn't see the twist coming either. In a way the film kinda had two twists at the end. I'm glad they took the material seriously and didn't make the movie exploitative.
I was wondering why there hair was different color grown up untill the twist
It actually doesn’t make sense when you think about it tho
I feel a spiritual connection when I meet someone who has seen this flick
This movie is a diamond of a find for first time viewers. Well put together, both story and cast. Bill Paxton's performance is as usual epic and everyone's favorite A/B lister from the 80s Powers Boothe has a great spot in this epic thriller.
Literally timeless with excellent replay value
Also: RIP Bill and Powers Boothe. The latter was a good underappreciated character actor, especially for villains.
Bill Paxton is still and will always be my favorite actor all time, RIP ✊🏻
Boothe is one of the only good aspects of the 6th season of 24.
Paxton and Boothe are awesome in Tombstone
I saw this in theaters when it came out. Thought it was quite good, and intriguing. Good film directed by and starring Bill Paxton. Thought McConaughey was good in it also. I was sad when I heard Paxton passed away not long ago, felt they didn't give his performances as much credit as they deserved when they wrote about him.
Very underrated indeed. I just watched this film and this film was just absolutely badass.
@@Mammothx 100%!! It's been a while since I've seen it, but remember it's a great picture, and overlooked gem. Look forward to watching it again soon.
@@Neil_McCauley_ It is man, my friend told me to watch it before but I just watched it now and the twist is just absolutely brilliant. I never expected Adam to be the narrator, and Fenton going insane and turning into an actual demon.
@@Mammothx That's cool your friend recommended it, it's one of those ones that isn't talked about much and gets lost in film history. Much respect to Paxton as director swinging for the fences on this one, and successfully doing so, as well as putting in a great performance in front of the camera. You're right, the ending was crazy, in a good way. I'll probably watch it again this week. If you haven't seen "A Simple Plan" also starring Bill Paxton, with Billy Bob Thornton and Bridget Fonda, directed by Sam Raimi, I highly recommend that one, think you would like it, came out in 1998, a few years before "Frailty."
Neil, same here. saw it at the theaters, too. Adam Meeks-approved message. for those going through the comments, I've got good news. God is good because He gives His blessings to everyone, whether they be good or bad. but everyone has at least, told a lie, or stolen something in their life. and that makes them sinners, and God will not allow sinners in heaven; in His presence, because He is holy. so, God has to punish the sinners in hell, because God is severe and just. but God is also love and He made a way for some to be saved from His wrath. here are the steps:
1. admit that you're a sinner and are lost.
2. realize that the penalty of sin is death (hell).
3. believe that Jesus (who is God) died on the cross, was buried, then rose from the grave, to pay the penalty for man's past, present, and future sins.
4. trust Christ alone as your Savior, and not on your own good deeds to get you to heaven (nor a combination of your faith and self-righteous works).
5. pray to God NOW that you're accepting Christ's free gift of salvation because if you die before making this decision, it's too late, and you'll 🔥🥵😈
6. and to be a disciple, tell people about Jesus, read the bible, go to church regularly to know God's will for your life.
Saw this in a sneak peak and i was 100% blown away. Been advertising it highly ever since whenever someone asked for a good thriller/horror
I saw this in theatres back in 2001. I term you, it was a long near 7 month wait until the DVD came into Blockbuster. I wanted to watch it again so damn bad.
I saw this great and underrated movie when it first came out in theatres. I tried to explain to friends
how phenomenal it was. It saddened me that it didn't do well at the box office. It's still one of the best movies I've ever seen.
Best movies? It would be if it didn't show you things that didn't really happen then later think it's clever showing what actually happened. Also if it didn't show scenes that Adam isn't in... How can he recall situations he wasn't a part of? He's making it up which makes his whole story unreliable! On the surface it's a great movie... But when you start thinking about it it's lazy and uses cheap movie tropes to make you think it's better than it really is
This movie is just awesome. The writing acting and directing are all top notch. The ending is just brilliant
Gods will have been served and the wife said praise GoD! ❤
Joy! Joy! Joy! Down in my heart! Where?
Every couple years we have to watch “Frailty”
Also “the gift”
Is the joy still down in your heart, to stay?
i knew Matthew McConaughey was adam but I did not expect that he actually sees the demons...its a nice twist
I was working at Hollywood Video when this came to home release and recommended it to every single person that was in the mood for a thriller movie.
Never had a disappointed customer.
Did you watch this flim yet?
@@Captainkirk88410without a doubt. Onlybthen would he give it to others
I saw FRAILTY in the theater! It's still in my TOP 10 All-Time Favorite Horror Movies List.
Should do a video on "Running Scared". Best Paul Walker movie you have never seen.
Or Gregory Hines ,and Billy Crystal
Running Scared!!!
I agree.
Same very good movie
I love Running Scared. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it.
Mike Hemphill Paul Walker was my mom’s favorite actor growing lol so we had a lot of movies with him in it and as a kid I watched this movie and have liked it ever since
Back in the day I was lucky to see this film in a special screening in the cinema - absolutely blew me away. It still is one of my favorites and I have seen it at least 5 or 6 times since then on DVD and later Bluray. I also recommend it to people saying they want to see a good (unknown) film.
This movie is amazing. Bill Paxton is an absolute legend and will always be a national treasure. Great video. Thanks guys.
I like how u didn't spoil the ending for those who still haven't seen it..its a great movie and something different from the normal boring cliche movies we are all use to
Brilliant film. Crazy how it still hasn't really found a wide audience, but when it does it's gonna be remembered as a classic. We need more Southern Gothic movies. The only ones there really were in that era were this one and The Gift.
I love this movie, and I recommend it any time I get a chance. This movie is a classic, and it is astounding to me that is virtually unknown. RIP Bill Paxton and Powers Boothe.
I remember watching this movie at 1AM on the USA Network on a Saturday night around the early 2000's. I was about 17 and thought it was fantastic.
I saw this way back when because I was a fan of Mr Paxton. Didn’t know he directed it and always felt it was under appreciated. Some of the imagery still sticks in my head.
My friend and I are huge horror fans. We watched this one the first time together and it’s always been one of our favourites.
I really liked this movie.
Fantastic twist!
I wish Bill Paxton had made more movies before his death. He had serious directing chops.
Hell yes! I've been trying to get *Let Me Explain* (Excellent channel btw. Go check him out) to review this movie for the past six months or so, and I wake up to see another one of my favorite channels covering it. Thank you, JoBlo! Frailty is the ultimate in gothic horror. Paxton did a damn good job both writing and directing it, and his movie deserves far more attention than it receives. I hope anyone who hasn't seen it will watch Frailty, spoiler-free, because it really benefits from the twist at the end.
And I hope that *LME* still reviews Frailty.
Holy hell, I didn’t realize it was directed by Bill Paxton! Some how that makes this movie even better. I caught it on HBO a few years ago doing some late night channel surfing and was completely blown away. I couldn’t believe I’d never heard of it before then. Super stellar flick that’s worth the watch for sure!
I absolutely love this movie. It’s got such a spooky atmosphere & great performances from the late Bill Paxton, the 2 kids, McConaughey & the late Powers Boothe
Saw this about 15-20 years ago and bought it on dvd 10-15 years ago. I probably shown this to many people.
One of my all-time favorites!
I actually saw this in the theater and really liked it eventually. It was strange. I didn't like it when I was leaving the theater but after two or three days, I loved it. It's a slow burn
this movie has lived in my head rent free ever since I watched it decades ago, but I never got to rewatch cause I forgot the title..when I finally did I was blown away at how accurate & even more probable it has since become, given well known cases like Lori Vallow & other religious nuts & modern times conspiracies..an amazing movie ,way ahead of its time👍🏽💥🔥💖❤️🖤
I loved this movie in high school. Friend and I rented it based on a recommendation from our film studies teacher.
I love how you titled this video. It’s true . Such a good movie not everyone has seen. I recently made my boyfriend watch it and he loved it.
I saw this movie years ago. I think I rented the DVD just because of McConaughey was in it. I had never heard of it. I absolutely loved it. It was amazing! I couldn’t believe it was such a secret!
I love this movie we used to have it on VHS when I was younger and them couple years ago bought it on DVD a great movie
I have it on DVD as well
Nostalgia goggles firmly attached 👌
The first time I saw it I was tranfixed. I have a DVD and going show it my 18 yr son, a film student and horror lover. Right now!!! An ABSOLUTELY GREAT SCARY MOVIE!!! GREAT JOB, BILL, GREAT JOB!!!
I have loved Frailty from day one... I remember actually making a very later-in-the-era rental of the film from Blockbuster as a matter of fact! Great movie!
I've totally seen Frailty! It was good!
I had also seen Strange Days, Arlington Road, Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, The Ghost and the Darkness and The Thirteenth Floor.
Did you cover the Thirteenth Floor, or did I imagine that?
I'd also recommend 'The Long Kiss Goodnight.' Totally passed me by at the time of its release, I got the DVD recently and its fantastic!
Thanks for this. I champion Frailty to everybody into psych/thrillers. So many have never even heard of it.
Another underrated gem is Breakdown (1996) starring Kurt Russell and the late great J.T. Walsh in his final film. RIP JTW.
The premise for this film had an interesting twist. Like most people watching the film, I thought the dad had lost his mind. I imagine if you could see a person's secret sins when you touched them, you'd look at the world differently. A scary thought. Bill Paxton was brilliant as both the father and director. RIP Bill.
I love this movie! Especially how they give you a twist that is easy to call and then the twist that just makes the movie so badass.
Haven't even watched the video yet. But I will say, this channel definitely features some of my favorite obscure movies of all time!
Did you watch this flim yet?
Another one in my DvD collection. Such a great film
Might want to upgrade to 2006 with HD formats
DVD is fine
Great movie! “Babies...he killed babies”😝
Perfume The Story of a Murderer is one of the most underrated film to ever be released. Not a single decent TH-cam video on the film says it all. AM I crazy?
I watched that years ago. I thought it was decent. Never been back to it though.
AmaZing movie. My favourite ever!!!
While I was watching it, I did not like it, and did not think highly of it. But by the end, I said, wow, this is a really GOOD movie. It should be a classic horror.
Saw this movie either on hbo or star movies when i was way younger! The twist ending was fuck yeah moment for me as I didn't want to belive that the dad was crazy! Loved every moment of it.
You realize your comment is a spoiler right? I’m glad I’ve already seen this flick
I've always thought this needed a sequel. One of my all time favorites.
This is literally one of my favourite movies of all time
Loved this film. It came out when I was a projection manager at the local theatre and I got to screen it alone. Phenominal.
Actually I’m watching it right now on Amazon prime for about the fifth time! Great movie, acting and producing outstanding!
Thank you for covering this movie AND for suggesting that folks watch it more than once to get the full impact. Please consider covering the 2002 movie "Crazy As Hell" starring Eriq LaSalle, Ronnie Cox and Michael Beach.
I was watching this vid going "Damn, I hope they don't spoil Frailty ffs!"
🙏 good work! This channel rocks!
Powers Boothe was terrific in it.
I did see this in the theaters and I also have the DVD of it. It's a great movie! And even though I've seen it, I'm glad this video was made about it so other people who haven't seen or heard about it can know about it and possibly decide to watch it. So I'm cool with that.
Had the pleasure of watching this gem a few years after it came out. Was blown away by it. Won't spoil it but it's a must watch, if you have children it can be uncomfortable in parts to watch, but it's worth it!
A truly amazing film and one I have loved to watch over and over.
If you're looking for hidden gems of films that never got the recognition they deserved:
Fail Safe (1964)
Other People's Money (1991)
Fallen (1998)
In 2011 when I was 6 years old I saw this on DVD 📀 at my dads house when I did my usually weekend visits and I fell in love with this movie and I just watched it for the first time in like 8 years just about 4 days ago and it still holds up super underrated movie 8.5/10
Do "Running Scared" Starring Paul Walker. Top notch movie with just enough suspense
This is one of the great films that you wish you could go back and see for the first time again.
Saw it back in the day, but totally forgot about it! Great film, definitely going to rewatch!
Man I gotta watch this now, I can remember watching it on tv when I was younger and having now idea wtf was happening.
Bill Paxton did us all a solid by directing this movie. It could've been a complete bomb, but it became something otherworldly that lives in our heads, popping up when we least expect it to. Its legitemately slept on, and deserves proper praise
The amount of suspense this movie has doesn't compare to new movies, this movie is just perfect.
Just watched this for the first time a couple nights ago and I loved it
I saw this once on late night TV. I was mesmerised. Amazing film.
This should be a film more well known. It's quite brilliant.
This movie and A Simple Plan were two Bill Paxton classics
Masterpiece. I'll miss Bill forever.
This is such a good movie. Thanks for covering it.
Every time I see a movie list video about the most shocking movie twists I get very frustrated when this movie doesn't make the list. One of the greatest plot twists in movie history!
The frailty is so good! So underrated
Densel Washington's 'Fallen' 1998. For some reason that and this movie always seem connected in my head. Must have seen them around the same time
This along with "Fallen" with Danzel Washington is just simply amazing..
Funny thing, in Poland this movie was known as God's Hand :D and it got very good reviews here :) I lreaned about this movie from a polish iconic sci-fi magazine. I rented it on VHS some years later and enjoyed it a lot! RIP Bill Paxton, a pity we couldn't see more of your movies
this film was such a pleasant surprise upon first viewing. to this day, it is one of my favourites and i recommend it to absolutely everyone.
I went and watched this after watching your intro to this video. Great film!
I love this movie, I didn't know bill directed it...makes me love it more.
Saw this in the theater and have owned it on every type of physical copy made available. Haven't watched it for a few years, but definitely a good one.
So glad i remembered the name of this great film, great bio of the film, cant wait to watch again
My favorite movie of all time! So sadly underappreciated. I'm proud that I was the few that originally saw it in the theaters.
Frailty is in my top 20 all time, so good
I saw this movie by myself and left the theater satisfied and disturbed. It was 2 in the afternoon.
I've seen Frailty, okay? It's fukking AWESOME!!!
And no, I'm not religious.
I actually saw this in the theatre with my gf. We didn't know much about but decided to check it out and it was an instant favorite. Had no idea it was going to be that good.
I remember at the time, people saying that after 9/11 no one wanted to see a movie like this. I love this movie.
One of fave Bill paxton and McConahaughy preformances...
My love for this classic and "Behind the Mask the Rise of Leslie Vernon" honestly depresses the shit out of me that they will never be seen by enough people. Not on the level of the other two "come back to me" was super twisted, but hey you did cover "cold in july".
R.I.P. Bill Paxton
Frailty is definitely one of B.P s best, also Near Dark, which I hope you can do a video on
super underrated and a movie with an actual great twist
I can't tell you how many times I've seen this movie. I wasn't able to see it in theaters but enjoyed watching it at home three times the week i got it.
Such a great film. Nice period piece and excellent twists
Paxson made Fish Heads? Loved that stupid song when I was a kid. And Frailty is awesome. Seen it at least 10 times
You need to feature the 1989 film “Millennium” as The Best Movie You Never Saw. It has time travel, a post-apocalyptic future, great makeup effects, a smoking hot babe, a trippy concept, robots...
This movie & 'MYSTIC RIVER' are similar & both in my top movies of all time..
