The first half is a pretty effective horror movie when it comes to a modern Jack the Ripper in the 2000s of Iran. There a lot of good scenes that help us go into a mental space. All behind the superficial facade of religion and decadence. The second half would have become even more scarier if it ended how it seemed it would. Good thing it ended the hollywood way...
This sociopath did how he was raised and how he interpreted his religion. It is not a action that everybody would do, even if they think of it and even if they would approve if anybody else would do it. The world, even theirs, ran by their religion, doesn't work like that. The second half was scarier because we were (for a moment) on a path of a revolution of moral values. Some even thought of the lesser evil, and there is a strong discussion here as well I will not go into...but in the end true fundamental morals won.
