I just watched Frailty, and it lived up to my every "But what if..." quite neatly.

Which surprised me. What if he's the other brother? Or he's really seeing wrongdoers? Maybe he's the sheriff? It would be so cool if he was receiving some sort of otherworldly protection, wouldn't it? Some of the what ifs got confusing -- I admit I thought he killed his father, it was just which "he" that actually was became tangled.

Did them all.

I don't remember it in theatres -- what sort of reception did it get?

I really enoyed Frailty. It kept me guessing, and I wasn't able to call the twists, but I really liked where the twists went.

I don't remember it in theatres -- what sort of reception did it get?

If I remember correctly, it was critically well received, and was released on a slower weekend, so, while it didn't quite clean up, it owned its weekend (I think), and did fairly admirably, with decent, though not terribly long-lived legs.

so, while it didn't quite clean up, it owned its weekend (I think)

IMDb's box office data puts it at about three. It was up against The Sweetest Thing, which made 17 million to its 4 million. I have yet to see Frailty, though I did hear good things.

We saw it in the theater and enjoyed it. It wasn't water-tight, but they actually put thought into it, which puts it way ahead of many movies.

Out of, I don't know..... sickness, morbid curiosity.... Thomash and I just sat through about three minutes of From Justin to Kelly.

There was a dialog exchange that, while supposedly spoken in English, contained not a single phrase I could understand or parse.

I think I need to go bash my brains out now.

It only has that effect on people who actually have brains.

The writer of Frailty just called me a liar!

Okay, I don't think I got all the twists -- I missed Fenton is a demon. But I got all of the rest, simply by watching the movie as if everyone was telling the truth, and seeing what felt most interesting.

I don't count it against the movie -- in fact, I really liked that.

Still, he's a meanie.

I think the only scarier "reality" of the movie than that they (son and dad) were just psychotic was finding out that the son was telling the truth.

I had it in a couple layers -- what if the victims were guilty. But then, what if the dad was really getting visions? And what if Adam was really seeing them too? And, dude, if they were from God, for true?

Not to mention the creepiness of the wrong brother sitting there, and it wasn't going to be just a narrated tale, but that the peril was continuing. And since they seemed to have been clear that he was the only surviving member of the family, how does he become a threat?

And such a great ending. It all worked for me, too.
