A mysterious young man, Fenton Meiks (Matthew McConaughey) walks into a Texas FBI building and reveals to Agent Doyle (Powers Boothe) that he knows the identity of a local serial killer known as “God’s Hand.” Fenton tells of his father (Bill Paxton), a loving man of deep faith who awakens his sons one night with the news that he has had a vision: God has called on them to serve as slayers of demons. Of course, upon hearing that these demons are “disguised” as human beings, Fenton understandably begins to question his father’s sanity.

Fool's Views (12/3 – 12/16)

Criminey, where is the year going? Oh, thataway. Right.

Spent a few nights catching up on the civilian flicks I’d piled up way back in January to take with me to Milwaukee. (True story: of the 72 originally pulled, I’ve only made it about halfway through the stack. Yes, I get distracted easily.) Meanwhile, the horror views were largely comprised of selections dictated by the able roster of HIDDEN HORROR 101, sparking interest in revisiting and/or sampling firsthand choice offerings from the frightful fringe.

As always, feel free to leave your two cents worth – we’ll make sure you get some change back.

Enjoy!
