While I won't say this is great cinema or even historically correct, it wasn't awful as the previous person who posted said it was. Yes there was a cult in a night club (Actually not pagan, it was an offshoot of the Catholic Church)and yes, the "hero" did bring it down, but that wasn't the point of the movie.
The point of the movie was The Sin Eater was tired of doing his job and wanted the "hero" to do take over. Add that to the "hero's" struggle with his faith, his wants and desires and ultimately if he would like to take the place of the Sin Eater.
According to the movie, if you are Catholic and not allowed to go to heaven,(Excommunicated, suicide or any of the other reasons the church could keep you out of heaven) the Sin Eater (for a price) would come and take away your sins and you would then be allowed to go to heaven.
So, yes, it is a religious horror flick (though not really what I call Horror (like Freddy or Jason)) and yes, it is not great, but it is thought provoking if you like that kind of thing.
