What the heck?

Rating: Null/10 (15 November 2014)

This movie is filled with ridiculous references to Catholicism. I remember watching it as a teenager and I completely did not notice it at the time. This is a sick movie (on so many levels) and I am not just talking about the gore.
Gwyneth Paltrow's character wants to abort her unborn baby. She doesn't like the violent city (New York) she and her husband have moved to; and is worried about raising their child in that city. What a good reason to have an abortion! Morgan Freeman's character talks her out of it. Apparently, Morgan's character convinced his wife to have an abortion and "later regretted it".
The decision by Paltrow's character ends up being a mistake, because she (and her baby) are gruesomely murdered at the end of the movie. But this is only the beginning of the Catholic-related absurdity...
The killer in this movie is a crazed Catholic, who decides to gruesomely kill and torture seven people after reading a book by St. Thomas Aquinas; one of the most gentle and brilliant men who ever lived. This includes - ironically - the unborn baby mentioned previously.
This is a sick movie made by a director who - for some reason - felt the need to insult the Catholic Church. He must have been schooled by Scorsese.
