I realized something while watching this film, and then watching the director's cut. It's not really about catholicism or religion. It's actually a story about evil, and how it corrupts. The use of a deacon as the antagonist just gave an interesting layer, kind of like how Dexter was. Once I saw it through that lens, I could see a lot of subtleties in the performances. I liked how nothing is in your face about what it was trying to be, and at the end of the day it was entertaining.
I prefer the DC because I feel like the score was more in line with the tone of the film, as much as I appreciate the classic score to the original. Both are unique and different, yet house the same principle about evil in modern society.
