2018 Frailty (2001)

Man starts receiving heavenly visions that show him the identity of wrong-doers in his community.

As in murderers, child molesters and suchlike, not people who return a library book too late and stuff.

If you're under 20, libraries were places that let you borrow books for a few weeks at a time, funded by the state before the state decided such an amazing tool of civic education and betterment was a wasteful folly.

Books were the tree version of whatever you're reading this on.

Anyway, after identifying the local evil types, the dad decides to do the lords work by murdering the bad folk with the divine weapon: the rusting wood axe in his shed. He also decides that his noodle-limbed, pre-teen sons should assist him in his crusade of righteous murder and help him cut up their bodies and whatnot.

Great parenting if you ask me.

Anyway, it's a genuinely good, obscure little film that's well worth a look if you ain't seen it.
