Combine Saw and Se7en with Religious Overtones?

I wasn't expecting alot out of this movie and I still got less than I expected. Some reviewers are commenting on it saying that has a subtle religious message. Let me make something clear, the religious message is not subtle. It is pretty preachy at the end saying "We must have God to win the battle over evil".
If that weren't enough, the twist ending sucks. It is nothing original and when you go back to think about it...it doesn't make sense! The most creative ways the "Riddle Killer" takes care of his victims is with bombs. Not dissing on bombs as a torture device (there is a sick scene in SAW III involving a bomb but it had more to it). Bombs may be scary in some movies but for a movie like this they are extremely tame!
The actors all did a horrible job and the actor who played the killer was very unconvincing.
Overall, this is a very preachy and unscary experience. If you like religious thrillers then you might like this but I guess I'm just not into those kind of movies. Not recommended.
