Good vs. Evil. Suspense & Irony

Warning: Spoilers
I really enjoyed the movie which contained some mystery about who was good and who was evil. There were a religious and cult elements that made the movie both interesting and creepy. In the end you are left with the sense that while there are some good church people out there...there are way more evil ones. There is definitely an undertone that there are just people out there that don't have a clue about what is actually good and what isn't and they are easily swayed by those who believe strongly one way or another. The idea that there are people willing to kill for what they believe - not defending what they believe but that advancing their agenda gives them license to kill - holds true in today's world which makes the movie relevant in that sense. The characters in the movie who are faced with that element struggle to find the line where they should stand. Mostly though, the movie is just about really creepy bad guys trying to take over a small town and the good guys trying not to die and give up.
