NEFARIOUS is a supernatural thriller. A skeptical psychiatrist, Dr. James Martin, takes the place of another psychiatrist who committed suicide. Dr. Martin has to interview a convicted serial killer to see if he's sane enough to be executed. The prisoner tells the psychiatrist that he is a demon called Lord Nefarious. Martin asks Nefarious to prove that he is a demon, but he gets more than he bargained for by making such a foolish demand.
NEFARIOUS is an intense and hair-raising thriller with some good twists, dramatic dialogue, great acting, and fascinating direction. It has a strong Christian worldview that dramatically depicts the battle between God and Satan's world of demonic evil. God is clearly more powerful, however. For example, in one scene a character appeals to God and God performs a miracle. However, NEFARIOUS has a very strong execution scene that warrants extreme caution. The movie also has three relatively light obscenities and some scary conversations with a man who claims to be a demon. Eventually, the demon's plans in NEFARIOUS are thwarted, but in an unexpected way that involves an Act of God.

NEFARIOUS is a supernatural horror movie about a skeptical psychiatrist assigned to visit a convicted serial killer to see if he's sane enough to be executed, but the prisoner tells the psychiatrist he's a demon and the psychiatrist asks for proof. .
The film opens with a psychiatrist committing suicide by jumping out of a window. He cuts out another psychiatrist, Dr. James Martin, taking the place of the dead psychiatrist. Martin enters a prison to interview a convicted serial killer, Edward Wayne Brady, ahead of his scheduled 11 p.m. execution. m. The warden wants Martin to declare Brady sane so the execution can go ahead as scheduled. He gives Martin until 4 pm to decide.
However, when Martin begins to question Brady, Brady tells Martin that he is actually taking on a demon calling himself Nefarious. The demon claims that his possession of Brady took place in stages since he was a child, but says that Brady is now fully under his control. Martin asks Nefarious to talk to Brady, and Brady is a pitiful, whiny creature.
However, Martin remains skeptical. He asks Nefarious to give him proof that he really is a demon, but Martin gets more than he bargained for by making such a foolish demand.
NEFARIOUS is an intense and hair-raising thriller with a well-written script and some good twists. Sean Patrick Flanery and Jordan Belfi as Nefarious and the psychiatrist, Dr. Martin, have to stop the story as most of the movie engages their characters in a verbal battle. They do a great job, which also means the movie is well directed.
NEFARIOUS has a strong Christian worldview that dramatically depicts the ancient battle between God and Satan's world of demonic evil. God is clearly more powerful, however. For example, in one scene, a character asks God for help against a demonic power, and God performs a miracle, answering prayer.
NEFARIOUS contains a very strong and intense execution scene. Therefore, MOVIEGUIDE® recommends extreme caution. The movie also has three relatively light obscenities and some scary conversations with a man who claims to be a demon. Eventually, the demon's plans are thwarted, but in an unexpected way that involves an Act of God.
Tons of horror movie had pro Christian themes, starting with the Exorcist series. Though this one delves into current theocon thinking the most.
