If you liked movies like Black Swan, Session 9, The Mechinist, or Jacob's Ladder, then you will love this movie. It's a very thoughtful story of how badly a young mind can be hurt through religious brainwashing. A lot of people here say this movie doesn't make any sense and stuff like that. I think they just can't read the symbols beneath the surface. A lot of the things we see in this movie are the visions of a disturbed mind,they can't be taken literally. A lot of people think a movie has no story when this story is not told in the classical form they teach you in school when you're a kid, but if you're just a little bit smarter you will appreciate this movie as a masterpiece of narrative and psychological terror. And if you ever had a psychotic breakdown you will recognize yourself in the main character, because he is brilliantly constructed. And anyone who is studying professional psychology will find in this movie a very good example of how a child who's being forced to think in a certain way by using terror and fright to convince him, can reach to a level of fear that will cause him a psychotic breakdown and completely melt down. This movie may have a lot of elements that may seem to be supernatural, but that's only in a superficial level, behind those visions you will see this movie as one of the most realistic movies you'll ever see. This happens all the time to young people.
