It's not religion, it's bad people.

Rating: 5/10 (24 July 2010)

This movie was difficult to watch, due to the treatment of the children, and had an unsatisfactory ending. My fear is that too many people will view this movie as an indictment of religion rather than an indictment of misguided or evil people. It is NOT religion that leads people to evil acts, rather it is their own innate evilness that allows them to use religion as a shield. I fear my hope that people do not view this movie as a denouncement of religion is in vain. I did not care for the complete lack of resolution to the movie and felt the school teacher, by doing nothing, allowed more evil to grow among these people.
