Actor Bill Paxton makes his directorial debut with the psychological horror film Frailty.
The intimate small scale of the story is what makes the film all the more unsettling and impressionable. It's reminiscent of Stephen King's nostalgic horror stories and Sam Raimi's American Gothic films but never enough to make Paxton seem like a first-time director.
It doesn't necessarily scare or terrorize you but will leave you with a lingering sense of sadness and disturbing questions you'd rather not ask yourself.
