Some people take this movie to seriously.

WOW... I am shocked by some of the negative reviews I have read on this movie. Some people take it way to seriously. Bill Paxton wasn't out to make a movie that encourages murder or says that atheist are evil demons that christians should kill. You people are stupid and lame.
The movie is meant to psych you out and give you a bit of a twist at the end. It acts as if it is telling the story from the older brother's point of view, and makes you think that this boy is growing up in a crazy home with a crazy father, and the result of it is that his younger brother has become a serial killer. The movie has some twist that make it more interesting.
Im sorry some of you people are too lame to see the greatness of the movie.

FIRST OF ALL THE MOVIE WAS GREAT, BUT THE LAST TEN OR SO MINUTES SUCKED...HOW IS IT THAT A COP THAT HAS A PICTURE OF HIS MOTHER

I believe that this is the directorial debut of Bill Paxton, and if it is, wow. This is one of those films that did not get a wide Theatrical release that may have slipped through the cracks. It is the story of a father and his two sons, and the fathers revelation that God has tapped them to kill demons that walk among us, to be God's hand. While one son assumes that his father has gone crazy, the other believes in him without question. After the kids have grown up, one of them decides to follow in their fathers footsteps and kill demons (who look like normal people) while the other eventually decides to turn in his brother for being the God's hand killer. The movie is told in a narrative by Fenton Meiks (Matt McConaughey) as he is convincing an FBI agent that his brother is the murderer. This is a well written, suspenseful film that tears at you, and is wonderfully crafted.
About the DVD: This one is chock full of extras, including the trailer, the making of, scenes, a documentary from the Sundance channel, and three different commentaries. An absolute goldmine of information. Even without these features, the film would still rate a five.

GREAT MOVIE! Wow
Added 8/27/2009
I saw a brief portion of this movie one Saturday afternoon I believe on USA, but I could not watch it all. It held my interest enough for me to look for it; and since I was placing a order with amazon I through it is to qualify for the free shipping.
It took a while for my order to arrive, so when it did arrive I was not able to watch right away...in fact I had lost interest. Anyway, I finally had some to watch and WOW am I happy I ordered this film...incredible! Better without commericals great script for a sort of horror flick (I hate horror films always stupid scripts)happliy this was more of a mystery about a serial killer...anyway well worth it...I will watch this one again SOON!

I first saw this movie on USA and was great (and you know that they edit movies on regular cable) so I knew that when I saw it on dvd that it was going to be great, and it was!!! Its about a family (father and 2 sons) whose world is turned upside down when the father starts to have visions about devils and demons. He says that he has a gift from god that allows him to see these demons and with the help of his sons he's able to kill the demons. This movie is great and if you are into horror/mystery/suspence* movies I recommend* you get this one.
