Christy Lemire
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.
Robert Koehler
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.
Geoff Andrew
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.
Chuck Wilson
With an admirably dark first script by Brent Hanley, Paxton, making his directorial feature debut, does strong, measured work.
Michael Wilmington
Paxton wins quiet victories here as both star and helmer.
Richard Roeper
I love the way that it took chances and really asks you to take these great leaps of faith and pays off.

Peter Rainer
A terrifying low-budget thriller that packs a greater wallop than most of the high-priced studio scarefests.

There she reconnects with Sheriff Dewey (David Arquette of NEVER BEEN KISSED) and Gale (Courtney Cox of TV's FRIENDS), who are now married, as well as her cousin Jill (Emma Roberts of VALENTINE'S DAY) and her Aunt Kate. Unfortunately Sidney's appearance also brings about the return of Ghostface, putting Sidney, Gale, and Dewey, along with Jill, her friends (including Hayden Panettiere of TV's HEROES), and the whole town of Woodsboro in danger. Legendary director Wes Craven (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET) "guides us expertly down a series of blind, bloody alleys" (Slate Magazine).
