What Was the Point?

Rating: 6/10 (20 July 2019)

I simply wasn't able to connect with this film. Yes, it had style, bloody deaths and human sacrifice but they were more disgusting than frightening.
But at the end, all I could do was ask "what was the point of this religion/cult/secret society? Did they worship some ancient god? Kill for for pleasure? As the film progressed, I waited form some kind of purpose to be revealed. The members took their beliefs very seriously. It was was a lifestyle with deeply rooted traditions and laws. When not meeting did they blend back into Swedish society with normal jobs and families?
Too many questions and no answers.
Two observations:
If this film was rated R, what does it take to get an X rating?
I enjoyed Stranger Things 3 more.
