This is not Boondock Saints - not a the horror version of it that is. Also some might even feel that this isn't the type of horror they expect. This is a more sublime and subtle horror, that really creeps up on you. A movie about an individual that has issues ... a lot of issues, that she thinks are resolved or at least will not surface, because of her love to God and His acceptance of her (she hears and feels him).
Having said all that, the (alleged?) Saint in question is played so convincingly, so powerful, that the movie reaches a new height and level of obsession. And while as I said it is a slow paced movie, it still has quite the scares thrown in for good measure. Not just the final moment, that might really creep you out and give you quite the shock moment, that is able to stick with you.
I personally like horror movies like this. You have to think about it, the filmmaker is challenging you to have your own experience and own thoughts of what you see and what it means ... very well made and while you may disagree with descriptions like "masterpiece", remember that it isn't the filmmaker who said it - it is the critics. You can have a different opinion on that and still really like the movie.
