A good movie

Since I kept hearing good things about this flick, I was really eager to watch it.

My Top 35 Halloween Favorites: Demons & Devils (35 movies items)

"A widowed father swears that he's been touched by the hand of God and enlists his two boys in helping him to wipe out "demons" who walk the Earth in human form.

Frailty is a movie that proves that the only thing better than a high quality serial killer flick is a high quality serial killer flick with a twist ending. "

" It is creepy. It's also extremely predictable, simplistic and dumb. And the ending is just terrible., possibly the worst ending they could end the movie on, very anticlimactic."
