...a solid thriller from a promising first-time director.

A resoundingly old-fashioned and well crafted study of evil infecting an American family, "Frailty" moves from strength to strength on its deceptive narrative course.

I love the way that it took chances and really asks you to take these great leaps of faith and pays off.

Violent and ultimately uneven and unsatisfying.

... marvelously off-balance and under-the-skin creepy from the first few minutes.

Paxton steals the show. And O'Leary more than holds his own again here. Too bad it's in a movie that fails to live up to its potential.

Paxton's first movie as director is better than you might expect. It has a first rate cast, and Bill Butler's camerawork and some deft editing help to crank up the tension.

Frailty is disturbing, all right, but then so is sticking needles in your eyes. And I wouldn't recommend either.

Frailty marks a fine directorial debut for Bill Paxton. He judges the material expertly and brings it to the boil effectively ...

Paxton wins quiet victories here as both star and helmer.

One of the best horror mysteries ever conceived and yet one constantly over looked.
September 16, 2002
With an admirably dark first script by Brent Hanley, Paxton, making his directorial feature debut, does strong, measured work.
