Review of Frayed (2007) by John B — 13 Aug 2011
A couple pieces of advice, when correcting your mentally unstable child, never take a camcorder with you. When you live in the vicinity of mentally derranged killers, make sure your cell phones work. And if you're gong to make a movie with a twist ending, don't telegraph it from twenty minutes in.
I probably found "Frayed" to be more annoying than I should have just because it was so obvious. So much so, I have to wonder if it wasn't done on purpose, but of course that brings along a whole new set of problems. This is just bad story telling as its finest.
In the end of the end, the filmakers try to add on a layer or two of sophistication "Usual Suspects" style, but that actually pays a disservice to all the stupid that comes before it. And when you can pay disservice to stupid you know something has just gone horribly wrong.
