![Frailty (2001) - Making of [Featurette]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/5GFc0tRSAjo/mqdefault.jpg)
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.
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…
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.
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,
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
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
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 knew Matthew McConaughey was adam but I did not expect that he actually sees the demons...its a nice twist
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 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 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 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 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
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.
This movie is amazing. Bill Paxton is an absolute legend and will always be a national treasure. Great video. Thanks guys.
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.
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 saw FRAILTY in the theater! It's still in my TOP 10 All-Time Favorite Horror Movies List.
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.
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.
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.
I really liked this movie.
Fantastic twist!
I wish Bill Paxton had made more movies before his death. He had serious directing chops.
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?
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.
Great movie! “Babies...he killed babies”😝
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.
I saw this when I was in high school and have wanted to watch it again but couldn't remember the name of it. Thank you.
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!
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 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
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
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.
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
Another one in my DvD collection. Such a great film
Might want to upgrade to 2006 with HD formats
DVD is fine
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 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 my all-time favorites!
Saw this about 15-20 years ago and bought it on dvd 10-15 years ago. I probably shown this to many people.
Actually I’m watching it right now on Amazon prime for about the fifth time! Great movie, acting and producing outstanding!
This is literally one of my favourite movies of all time
This is one of the great films that you wish you could go back and see for the first time again.
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.
Perfume The Story of a Murderer is one of the most underrated film to ever be released. Not a single decent RUclips 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.
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 👌
I loved this movie in high school. Friend and I rented it based on a recommendation from our film studies teacher.
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!!!
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
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!
Too bad that this isn't more well received. Really underrated movie.
Total sleeper hit. I like how the film makes straddles the line between religious fervor and mental illness.
This movie and A Simple Plan were two Bill Paxton classics
Powers Boothe was terrific in it.
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 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!
This along with "Fallen" with Danzel Washington is just simply amazing..
I was watching this vid going "Damn, I hope they don't spoil Frailty ffs!"
🙏 good work! This channel rocks!
Do "Running Scared" Starring Paul Walker. Top notch movie with just enough suspense
Matt O Leary literally slayed this role.
Masterpiece. I'll miss Bill forever.
I tagged along with my sister to the theater. They wanted to see the Tobey Maguire upside-down kiss, I wanted to see the movie Bill Paxton made. I think I got the better deal.
Frailty is one of the most criminally underrated movies ever made!
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)
I've seen Frailty, okay? It's fukking AWESOME!!!
And no, I'm not religious.
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.
R.I.P. Bill Paxton
I saw this movie by myself and left the theater satisfied and disturbed. It was 2 in the afternoon.
This is such a good movie. Thanks for covering it.
Paxton was in several best movies you never saw. Pass the Ammo is hilarious. Near Dark is stylish horror. And of course, Frailty is like no other. From the moment I first saw Paxton behind the bar in Streets of Fire, I knew he was someone to watch for. When I next saw him, the Terminator was taking his clothes. He made every role much bigger simply by occupying the space with his inimitable charm. Here's to you, Hudson.
Ugh, forgot to mention Chet from Weird Science.
And One False Move. Paxton was underappreciated in his time.
This movie & 'MYSTIC RIVER' are similar & both in my top movies of all time..
The frailty is so good! So underrated
I LOVED this movie when it first came out!! It scared the hell out of me (in a spiritual sense)! It hit a LOT deeper than just your regular "slasher flick" or your average horror movie filled with monsters, ghost, and/or gore... For those who actually believe in the spiritual realm, it strikes a nerve that most common "horror films" just don't touch! It would be GREAT to get to see a sequel with McConaughey raising up the next generation of "demon slayer"! It'd need to be JUST AS well done, of course. Otherwise there'd be no point,, but (in the right circumstances) I'd love to see "Adam Meek's" child grow up to take up the mantle of "demon slayer"!!👍
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.
The amount of suspense this movie has doesn't compare to new movies, this movie is just perfect.
This should be a film more well known. It's quite brilliant.
super underrated and a movie with an actual great twist
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
Another underrated Bill Paxton movie that is a total hidden gem is Traveller 1997 it also has a young Marky mark walberg in it definitely worth a watch
Coworker told me about this movie, plot and all. Jaw dropped when he told me about the ending.
So glad i remembered the name of this great film, great bio of the film, cant wait to watch again
I saw this once on late night TV. I was mesmerised. Amazing film.
I've always thought this needed a sequel. One of my all time favorites.
Hidden gem more people need to see this movie.
I miss him. Best movie quote EVER? Bill Paxton, Aliens!
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.
Second - also this channel has my exact taste in movies! Frailty is a classic RIP Bill Paxton!
Man I gotta watch this now, I can remember watching it on tv when I was younger and having now idea wtf was happening.
Loved this film. It came out when I was a projection manager at the local theatre and I got to screen it alone. Phenominal.
One of Bill Paxton’s Best Movies!!!
This would of been a perfect Simpsons Treehouse of Horror segment with Ned, Rod and Todd
Yeah this movie was intense. I just remembered it years later and have been recommending this movie to people. It's a must see
Just watched this for the first time a couple nights ago and I loved it
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!
