Saddened by his passing, I recently watched Bill Paxton's Frailty, a reasonably well constructed slice of horror that failed to resonate with me. Paxton the director lets Paxton the actor do a full-on Jack Torrance, even running around with a bloody axe.

Frailty doesn't add up to much, but there are loads worse 90 minute horror films. (4/5/17)
