The Meiks family used to be a happy one. Father and two young sons, they had carved out an all American existence after the boys mother died. Until the father gets a visit from God, bestowing upon him a mission to rid the world of demons, complete with a list of human beings upon which the family is to wreak divine vengeance. Still firmly grounded in the real world, 12-year-old Fenton Meiks is convinced his father has gone mad, and struggles to find the courage to stop his insane killing spree. The films narrative is woven on the most delicate of threads, pulling its audience through a dark and disturbed trail of past and present, following the evolution of a serial killer. As a director, Bill Paxton is brilliant, deftly sewing together what could have been a confusing and horrifying vision into an intense and engrossing head-trip. (Joshua Tyler)
