Can you say what you liked about it specifically? I have two friends who gleaned completely different messages from it. (One: We can't escape the effects of sin; Two: Fear is a better motivator than love.)
Hey Kate -- for me I would say the attraction was the incredible twisting story. i don't want to give anything away, but there are several moments in the movie where you have to stop and wonder where the heck it is going now.
as to the themes your friends mentioned. i would have to say i agree with the idea of the efects of sin although i would say it is probably more about the universality of evil and suffering (one of the characters talks about it a little) more than sin specifically. as for fear, i think it plays out in the film that love is actually the higher motivation based on the actions of the characters. i can see where it might be viewd the other way around though.
just my $.02
