...reductionist, Frailty is a horror flick of the Stephen King pulp fiction ilk. A man claiming to be Fenton Meiks (Matthew McConaughey) emerges at a Texas FBI bureau from out of nowhere claiming that he knows the identity of the God’s Hand murderer, a serial killer who has slain a slew of victims all over Texas.

All the principal characters acquit themselves well with a good dose of self-awareness and ample humour, but the real star of the show is firstyear Kathleen Stetson. As the unwillingly betrothed Josephine...
