Watched this last night...
Heath Ledger is a Catholic Priest having a crisis of faith, one of the last three of a little known order of demon/undead fighters.
Investigating the murder of one of them, he gets involved with a sin eater, and the 'dark pope'.
Kind of horror, kind of camp, kind of fun.
6/10

It was called The Order over here. I haven't seen it since it was relatively new, but I remember thinking it was ridiculous and that young pretty boy heart throb Heath Ledger was essentially impossible to buy as a priest.

Yes, it is ridiculous, for so many reasons. Bit of silly fun though, I thought... had an episode of Buffy feel. |

Most people wouldn't even have heard of sin eaters. I doubt many Catholics these days are aware of sin eaters anyway? |

I'm just saying it would have set the tone of a silly movie better. Not in terms of box office necessarily. |

I thought it had some interesting ideas, but as a whole it was rather a mess of throwing everything at you and seeing what sticks. At least I wasn’t bored.
I think i remember it being shelved for awhile before a release.
