Frailty is a 2001 American psychological horror mystery film directed by and starring the late Bill Paxton in his directorial debut, and co-starring Matthew McConaughey and the late Powers Boothe.
One day, a widowed blue-collar worker has a revelation: he must destroy those revealed to him as demons. He then begins the serial killings of “God’s Hand Killer” across Texas, but he also has two sons, the younger of whom idolises him and believes in the cause, while his older brother is revolted but cannot bring himself to stop his father. Twenty years later, the elder son walks into a police station and confesses.
