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

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.
