Its a good film, not brilliant, just good.

Just watched it and I pretty much agree with you, except I didn't like it at all. The whole message and purpose of the cult pretty much killed it for me. Seemed a bit pretentious as a way to justify the violence. The two lead actresses were amazing though. Reminded me very much of The Nameless (another movie I didn't care much for either).
