Just re-watched this for the first time in 15 plus years.(It's on Amazon Prime).

I forgot how good this was. This is a movie I wouldn't mind seeing Blumhouse or someone update/reboot.

Love this movie. Haven’t seen it in years but I went into it kinda blind and it surprised me so much with how awesome it was.

Mr. Paxton died way too soon. Aliens: "That's great just fricking great man. What are we gonna do? Game over man game over."

Around 2003, I don’t remember why we watched it other than it was randomly on HBO or something. I didn’t know what it was about beforehand.

But when it ended, my roommate and I were both like “damn that was pretty good , I did not see that coming”.

Would have made a good hbo style limited series too. Just a one-off, about 6 esomeone. If still 2001.. Keep McConaughey, Paxton..get Ethan Hawke to play the brother.

Frailty is one of the better movies that hardly anyone has seen. Love it.

Powers Boothe and Bill Paxton both died within a month or two of each other

Great movie. Do not reboot it. This mindset that everything needs to be redone is stupid. If something is great then let it be great.

Wonderful movie that I love to recommend to people, because not many have seen it. It's been a decade at least since I watched it last. Might be time to dust off the DVD...

I'm honestly surprised more people haven't seen it. I suppose it's classified as a horror movie, and that may be the reason it's not as popular as it should be. Really good movie, now I want to rewatch it too

No reason to reboot perfection.

Paxton wrote, directed AND starred in this gem.

A legit great ending that I did not see coming.

Anytime I am using an axe, I mention to whomever I’m with that we should name it Otis, and they never understand.

I agree but I don't think Paxton wrote it. Still impressive achievements. The fact that it never really was popular means most people (like me) walked into this with no idea what it was about. Great Matthew McConaughey performance too.

This is film is one of my 3 favorite "not many have seen it" films.

The other two are Miracle Mile with Anthony Edwards and House of Games with Joe Mantegna.

A movie that earns the “haunting” descriptor.

Like a lot of people, it was a movie I watched with no idea what it was about or any expectations. Fantastic movie. It's a shame Bill is gone. Son of a son of a bitch.
