Nefarious is a "must see" movie!! Sean Patrick Flanery makes Anthony Hopkins acting in, Silence of the Lamb, look like child's work.
It shook me to the chore and left a lasting impression.
Provocative, Very well done. Epic performance by Sean Patrick Flannery. Some of the best acting you'll see. Sean should win and Oscar but will most likely be overlooked or ignored given the subject and the message. HIGHLY recommend!
Love Steve Deace’s book but this movie takes the story much further. Excellent acting and a great explanation of where our world is right now.
It's is something different. Something that u must watch to know for ur self.
This shows how the demons operate. The theatrics and tricks of Hollywood are not needed; no disgusting and vile scenes. They may be needed to sell a Hollywood movie but this film stands alone, and distances itself from the typical horror of the genre. The true horror is the fact that the demons operate in the open now, while our culture denies the existence of God and demons. This is sadly the truth of where we are. May God help us.
I’ve been waiting a while for Nefarious to hit theaters & it was Well Worth the wait! Absolutely a must see for 2023. Writing, acting, production all 5??! Will see it again!
Scary and real lookin exorcism. Incredible writing, acting and production.
Sean Patrick Flanery gave a superb performance! Great movie
wow a must see. It will make you think. Great acting, even better message.
Eye-opening psychological thriller that will keep you riveted while showing you the spiritual battle being waged on God and humanity by the enemy of our soul! Incredible acting performances by the actors in the main roles. This movie will touch your mind, heart, and soul. It unfortunately is rated R but should really be a PG-13. No language or sex, but has adult themes and one very violent scene.(not gratuitous). Tip: SKIP THE PREVIEWS. Plan to wait 20 minutes before taking your seat to avoid being subjected to the NASTY, vile, disgusting previews.
A great movie for the times we live in. It's a fantastic acting and has a message. A very important movie
Terrible Movie. Bad Acting. I prefer my horror movies with some actual blood and violence.
If this movie doesn’t provoke interest and thought you are asleep!
Finally some world class acting.
My parents and I just watched it. It was AMAZING! Every person needs to watch this. I'm taking my nieces and nephews soon.
This is a very, very intense movie, yet, it is not a horror film. Extremely well done. Jarring at times, a well-known US exorcist with 20 years of experience said it was the most realistic portrayal of possession he's ever seen on the screen. I highly recommend it before it disappears. My prediction is that most people will object to it. Pity. It's a great film.
Oscar level performances
A thought provoking thriller with no cursing blood or sex, HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE! This movie has pulled it off and pulled it off Very well! Bring friends I promise you will have great discussions afterward. The R rating is not warranted, I don't know why they rated it R, the cleanest horror thriller movie ever made.
This film makes you evaluate what you believe and asks what are you going to do about it. Masterful acting makes the characters pop and keep you engaged for the whole film. The end will surprise and keep you thinking. I think I will see it again.
Seeing it a 2nd time and got even more gems. Ready for #3. The writing is absolutely brilliant, acting award-worthy, message very timely, and for everyone. Atheist Psychologist dialoguing with a demon. Lots of schooling going on. Simply amazing, riveting. Just WOW!
This was an awesome movie. Sean Patrick Flanery and Jordan Belfi should both get an Oscar for their acting in this movie. I strongly recommend this movie.
I viewed Nefarious opening weekend, and it was not what I had expected. I'll be honest, I was very skeptical about a movie made by Christian filmmakers and writers. While they are normally filled wholesome with messaging, the production value leaves much to be desired, and can often be cringy. This one is different. Nefarious is a rated R horror/thriller film. After viewing it with my husband and my teen, we agreed it was suspenseful and sometimes emotional. The actors in this film were phenomenal - the movie is shot in a single room for the majority of filming. The set is legit gritty and institutional giving viewers a sense of authenticity, and the exchanges between the actors are captivating. There are times when you'll hope they'll break away to a flashback or some kind of respite, pulling back from the intensity of the scene. They won't - you are drawn into it yourself, and you feel the anxiety and discomfort with them. The experience of many of the scenes in this movie is similar to "Silence of the Lambs" when Jodie Foster is in the house with the killer. There are times when the humanity of the convicted is exposed, and you feel empathy for him. At the same time, you understand his struggle, the possibility that a demonic entity has overtaken him, and all it took to get there. Sean Patrick Flannery has the role of a lifetime in this movie and it's so unexpected, so believable, and at times, frightening. It’s not action-packed, and there’s not a bunch of CGI to scrutinize, but it is entertaining and leaves you with a lot to think about and discuss when it’s over. The story and writing itself are so well done, it carries the movie. You're dropped into the middle of a scenario, the most important part of one, and you have to find your way through it and all that is revealed along the way. It's a movie for thinkers and people who can understand that several things can be true at once. It connects a lot of dots if you ap
Superb acting & dialog. Critical thinkers will love this physiological thriller!
If you remove your opinion of the base material and the author of the novel that this was based on, this is a really good movie. Well written, well acted, and well directed. Polished and riveting. Would happily watch again in the future.
An Academy Award performance by Sean Patrick Flanery. Great job also by Jordan Belfi. Top notch writing and production values. Nothing about this looks or feels like an independent, low budget, "Christian" production. Unexpected events throughout keep you on edge and guessing. The in-your-face explanation of evil's plan for mankind is chilling. No one has any excuse for being uninformed as to what is really happening in the world after watching.
I thought the insight into the demonic realm was close to reality.
Kept me on the edge of my seat! Sean Patrick really made that character work!
Great story!
Amazing story, writing acting and message!!
Great acting and message! Conversation starter.
I don't usually do horror movies, but this one has brains and strong characters. Lots of food for thought. Worth the time and price of admission! I will be buying this one for my library as soon as it's available!
Ther is nothing I didn't like. Sean Patrick should get the Oscar. Superb acting, love a movie with intelligent dialogue. Wow, not preachy, bit promotes a Biblical world view, honestly. Grat after discussion film.
Great movie about good & evil. Closed my eyes for 3 minutes at end but rest of the movie was excellent. Both main actors did an amazing job.
This is a must see. Take your friends, children, anyone you can. Your soul depends on it.
This movie quickly captures your attention from the beginning and doesn't let go. The writing and acting are equally outstanding! It pulls no punches by forcing the audience to wrestle with the realities of this world, while reflecting on their own lives. A must see!!
The thing that makes this horror movie stand out from the rest is it’s themes are 100 percent real!
The movie was very thought provoking! Opened my eyes up to the reality of good vs evil. Not just that but the spiritual warfare going on around us! I have always been aware of this, but never really recognized that it truly is going on! This movie is a must see for Christians! The quality of the movie was great! The acting was great! It is something I would not take my children to though, just because of the heaviness of the subject...there was no sex, nudity, violence or profanity.
This is no hack and slash gore fest. Be ready to be provoked -- this movie delivers a rollercoaster of thought. Sean Patrick Flanery deserves an Oscar nomination for his performance. All the characters were played perfectly -- well done!
A movie for smart-thinking people. Present the reality of
