Hey what's up guys
Today I'll show you a Horror-Slasher film: "Frayed"
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
The movie begins with a video recording of Sara's fifth birthday, and the sheriff as a party clown
Sara's big brother smashes the pinata to pieces in the video
He also takes Sara's music box, blows away all of Sara's birthday candles,
and even maniacally laughs
Due to this, their mother asks her son to go to his room
Their mother walks into the son's room, and sees him watching the music box
After a minute, he approaches their mother
Soon after, the recording shows their mother being brutally beaten by a bat in the face
After the murder, Sara calls the police to report their dead mother
Sara tells the police that her sheriff father is not home, only her brother
When the police arrive, the police take away the brother, and bring him to a psychiatric hospital
The psychiatrist informs the sheriff about his son's mental situation
She reports that the son severely suppresses his memories
to cope with displeasing events like killing his mother
She adds that the son suffers from dissociative identity disorder,
where he profoundly buries disturbing memories to the point that he doesn't remember any of them,
and his perception of reality has distorted
Years pass, and the son is still in the psychiatric hospital
The sheriff visits his son to hear about any updates
Unfortunately, none of the treatments they offer work,
so the psychiatrist offers the sheriff to transfer his son
into a more trustworthy psychiatric hospital
The sheriff leaves the hospital disheartened by the news,
and drives on the main road on his way home
Meanwhile, outside the hospital is the guard, who's surveying the hospital's area
Suddenly, he sees a clown in the forest, who attacks him in the head
He falls on the hillside, and hits his head
The guard tries to ask for help, but it shows no one coming to rescue him
As for the sheriff, who recently arrived home,
the new wife welcomes him, and asks about the son's situation
He informs her that he has scheduled a transfer for the son
The sheriff looks for Sara, preparing with her friend in the upstairs bathroom
Sara and her friend doll themselves to look presentable for their secret camp
with their boyfriends in the bathroom
But to leave the house, her friend convinces her to lie to her father
The sheriff in his bedroom stares outside the window,
reminiscing when his son and his late wife used to be happily playing in the backyard
Suddenly, his wife's beaten face flashes in his mind, interrupting him;
and to his surprise, the new wife is calling him
Meanwhile, the Samaritan finds the guard on the road, and when he sees the Samaritan, he passes out
The guard then sees a flash of a young son,
staring at a softball team photograph hanging outside his hospital bedroom
Players in the photo oddly resemble Sara, her friend, the sheriff, and other people in the town
In the sheriff's house, Sara's friend snoops around the brother's medical files,
and learns about the misfortune of their mother and the brother
Suddenly, Sara's unexpected appearance startles her friend,
who even comments how terrible the happenings are to their mother
Afterward, the sheriff and the new wife catch Sara and her friend snooping in the brother's file
The new wife tries to call out Sara's friend for meddling, but the sheriff stops her
So, the girls quickly lie that they'll go to the movies, and head upstairs to get their stuff
Once outside, Sara carries the camping kit to the truck bed floor,
when suddenly the sheriff appears with a serious face
The girls assume that the sheriff is mad,
but he smiles only to lend his flashlight and bids safety to the girls
So The girls leave the house happily
The sheriff returns home and washes the dishes
The new wife brings up the sheriff's lenient treatment to Sara,
despite her disrespect to the new wife
Their talk leads to a fight
Meanwhile, the guard recollects seeing the clown in the woods
The Samaritan explains that the guard needs to go to a hospital,
because he had found him almost lifeless on the road
Upon saying this, the Samaritan feels an eerie atmosphere around the guard
The guard then says, "I thought I was dead, and someone almost got me
Because I was only looking until it pushed me"
But the Samaritan says the guard's alone when he had seen him
Either way, the guard wishes to be taken home, and the Samaritan who trembles on his seat, obliges
Unexpectedly, the clown that the guard talks about appears from the backseat,
and stabs the Samaritan to death
Blood oozes from the Samaritan, and the car flips upside down
The guard is stuck in the seatbelt; and outside, he sees the clown picking up its weapon
He wriggles the seatbelt to free himself, but the clown spots him alive and starts approaching him
The guard fumbles and finally unlocks the seatbelt
After freeing himself, he dashes to the woods to escape the clown
He hides for a moment until he hears an upcoming truck
So he asks for help, but it ignores him
The guard returns to the woods,
and the night and darkness swallow him while hearing murmuring voices
Meanwhile, the girls meet up with their latecomer boyfriends
After their arrival, the two couples enjoy themselves
The Deputies and medics arrive to retrieve a murdered guard in the psychiatric hospital
The psychiatrist explains to the deputy that the sheriff's son had escaped
when he was assigned for transfer
Upon hearing this, the deputy sighs in frustration
The psychiatrist continues, saying that two guards were watching the son,
but now one of the guards is dead and the other's missing
The deputy reports to the sheriff about his son being the possible murderer,
who's on his way to the psychiatric hospital
The nurse then informs the psychiatrist that the guard's wife is looking for him
The deputy commands his crew to sweep the grounds to know if things are in place
Afterward, the psychiatrist shows the son's hospital room to the deputy,
when suddenly the sheriff arrives too
They survey the room, seeing clown masks, a man's face, and silhouettes drawings on the wall
The sheriff asks to be alone in the room, and the psychiatrist and the deputy obliges
The sheriff finds a charcoal drawing of a boy cornered in a room,
with a big man's shadow on the door
Upon investigating, the sheriff discovers a hole behind the table
He enters inside and finds "Daddy" written over the wall,
as well as a giant creepy clown chalk portrait on the wall
It's The similar clown who's chasing the brother in the woods
He stares at it until he receives a radio brief about a car incident,
reporting they had found a name tag "Gary", which is exactly his son's name
The sheriff sighs, thinking it must be his son who had caused the incident
On the other hand, the guard reaches an empty house
He enters inside, asking if someone's home, but no one answers
The guard continues to move forward and stumbles upon a room
He finds a television, recently used cigarettes on the ashtray, and a telephone
He tries to call for help when suddenly, the door's hanging bell chimes,
so he grabs and equips himself with a hammer from the room
The guard quickly checks the windows, and catches the clown killing the house owner
So, he hides in the house; but the clown spots him and follows him inside
The guard returns to the room, attempting to barricade the door with a table;
but the clown inserts its hand into the room, preventing the guard from closing the door
The guard tries to hammer the clown's hand; but it's too strong that it manages to hold his wrist
There is no choice left
The guard escapes through the room's small window, where the clown nearly catches him
Once again, he runs back to the forest for life
The new wife calls the sheriff to check on him
The sheriff updates her that the son has escaped
The new wife instantly locks their house; and afterward, she equips herself with a pistol
The police arrive at the car crash site,
and the sheriff learns the car driver is dead before the crash has happened
Then, the sheriff commands the deputy to guard his house on the driveway to keep the new wife safe
Afterward, the sheriff tries to call Sara,
who's in a busy hormone game with her boyfriend on the campsite
He only wants to warn Sara about her brother's escape
While they investigate, the sheriff receives another call about a murder in the house,
where the guard had been earlier
Meanwhile, the guard still hides from the clown
He climbs a tree and waits for the clown to leave him
However, the guard spots a campfire from afar
It's the same fire where the girls and their boyfriends are camping
So, he goes to the campfire and warns the campers
At the campsite, Sara finally answers the call from her dad;
but when she answers it, her boyfriend takes her phone and throws it away
Unaware of what Sara's been doing,
the sheriff still informs her to leave the forest immediately and ends the call
But Sara doesn't hear this, who instead invites her boyfriend to continue their game
On the other hand, the police arrive at the reported house, and find the dead owner outside his home
The sheriff then checks the room's back window,
and discovers a piece of fabric from a guard uniform
Sara and her boyfriend are still busy with their game when they suddenly hear the guard shout
Her boyfriend exits the tent, and meets her friend's boyfriend outside to check out the guard
Sara and her friend hear the guard warning their boyfriends to leave and call the police
Suddenly, the guard shouts, "Behind you " and the girls hear a stabbing noise outside
The girls scream while the tent's door opens, only to see the guard telling them he's there to help
The girls and the guard rush to Sara's car
Sara's friend sits beside Sara, who's driving the car, while the guard is on the truck bed floor
Unfortunately, Sara swiftly moves the vehicle to the point they crash into a tree
The car's tire gets stuck, while the guard sees the clown approaching them from afar
While Sara repeatedly rocks the car back and forth,
the clown reaches the back of the truck, so the guard kicks the clown away
Luckily, Sara frees the tires, and finally heads towards her house
The girls arrive at the sheriff's house and meet the deputy outside
They cryingly inform him of what had happened at the campsite
The deputy catches the guard on the back, thinking he's a threat;
but Sara explains that the guard had saved them from the camp
Afterward, the deputy radios the sheriff,
updating that the girls' boyfriends are dead and the guard is alive
Sara then asks the deputy if it's about her brother;
but he only commands the girls to enter the house
The new wife picks up the girls and enters the house together
Upon entering, the new wife receives a call from the sheriff, calming them down,
but their contact suddenly ends due to poor service
Sara asks her mom if it's about the brother, and the mom agrees
Sara then blames her dad for letting her brother escape, which upsets the mom
The conversation leads to loud shouting,
because the new wife is concerned about the girls endangering themselves in the woods,
Suddenly, someone knocks on the door, and the new wife withdraws her pistol before opening the door
The new wife opens the door, only to see the guard weakened
Sara and the new wife then assist the guard sitting on the chair
Afterward, the new wife brings a towel and water for Sara to clean the guard's wound
While Sara cleans the guard's scrapes, he intently listens to Sara sharing about her brother
She tells him how she used to hear news about her psychotic brother,
where people eventually forget about him
She also wishes to never see her brother again
The guard suddenly sits silent, staring outside the window,
and outside, he catches a glimpse of the clown
The guard warns them, and panic overrides the people in the house
The new wife tries to shoot the clown behind the window, but she misses
Then, the new wife kills the light switch, waiting for the clown killer
The new wife follows the stepping sound outside,
and starts firing when the sound stops at the front door
She opens the door, and finds the deputy dead from shots
So, the new wife and the guard quickly push the deputy's corpse away to close the door
The guard then surveys the outside, and finds the clown gone
Then, the guard tells the girls to hide in the bathroom upstairs
Upon reaching the bathroom, Sara's friend panics, thinking they will die, and Sara calms her down
Meanwhile, the police arrive at the campsite, finding the boyfriends' corpses
Suddenly, the sheriff receives an update from the psychiatric hospital
The deputy tells him that another guard is found dead outside the hospital
The sheriff ponders the news, and suddenly, it strikes him
He realizes the guard whom the deputy had reported, is not the guard but his son
The sheriff immediately calls his wife, but she barely understands his warning due to poor service
The new wife turns to her back; and suddenly, the clown is already inside the house and kills her
The girls hiding in the bathroom hear a gunshot from downstairs
Sara cries,
She then leaves the bathroom to inspect
Sara tries to enter the bathroom again, but her friend has locked it already
So, she bolts to her bedroom and hides underneath the bed
The guard downstairs wakes up
He holds his head; and upon standing, he finds the new wife dead and the clown lying unconscious
however, when he climbs upstairs, the clown comes back to life, and chases after him
Sara trembly cries in fear; and outside her room,
she hears her friend scream while the clown attacks her to death
Sara then hears the clown's footsteps approaching,
so she equips herself with a pair of scissors, and hides behind her cabinet
The clown enters Sara's bedroom and searches for her
Sara peeks through the gap of the cabinet doors
And suddenly, the clown grabs her, beating her up
Afterward, it strangles her, but Sara says, "Gary "
The clown faces the mirror, revealing the brother is the clown all along
Upon hearing Sara call him, the brother falls to his knees
Memories flash in his mind when he murders all the dead people that the police are investigating,
including the new wife and Sara's friend
Suddenly he sees the clown again, attempting to stab it with Sara's scissors,
but Sara can only see her brother
So, Sara brings out her music box to calm down the brother
The brother approaches Sara upon hearing the sound, smiles at her, and apologizes
Sara tells him it's not his fault, and that she knows what happened
however, upon hearing this, the brother's face turns serious, shouting at Sara to shut up
He then raises the scissors and stabs himself
So, Sara quickly leaves the room, but the brother stands again to attack Sara;
but the sheriff, standing in the corridor, shoots the brother
The movie ends by revealing medics resuscitating the brother on the main road
It turns out the sheriff did find his son on the side of the road
The son tries to converse with the sheriff, but he only wants his son dead
So, the brother shouts, "You did this to me," and attacks
The sheriff fears his son will remember his unjustifiable actions, so he kills him
But the brother does remember, especially the time his sick sheriff father in clown make-up,
molesting him at Sara's birthday party, and the sheriff killing the son's coming mother with a bat,
and blames it all on the son to cover up his sickening sin
Since the son is dead after falling from the hillside, everything that's happened,
from riding the Samaritan's car to meeting his sister Sara,
is only the son's elaborate fantasy before dying completely
He had created the scenarios solely based on the softball team photograph outside his room,
imagining them as his family's faces,
because, in the first place, he had never seen his sister's nor his stepmother since his childhood
This proves the psychiatrist's diagnosis about the son's severe mental disorder caused by the father
Later on, the sheriff goes home to his family with the true face of Sara and the new wife;
and upstairs is his new son, who's pretending to sleep
A visible horror in his son's eyes, showing how the sheriff still continues molesting his new son
