If You Believe Demons Exist and Evil Can't Be Solved by a 12-Step Program, 'Nefarious' Is the Movie for You

Thanks for the review, and for mentioning the writers are Catholic!

For a while, i saw a lot of ads for Pureflix, but recently none. Thanks for reminding me about this channel, as I have been thinking of joining up and watching the movies.

Flanery is just unbelievable as Edward/Nefarious. He effortlessly segues between a broken, possibly mentally ill Edward and a, well, diabolical Nefarious.

Go watch some of the YouTube videos of Fr. Chad Ripperger, a Catholic Exorcist. Abrupt personality changes are common. That being said, Catholic exorcists are trained to consider psychiatric / chemical imbalances *first*.

You’d have to be pretty much out of public entertainment to not know who Edward Norton is, as he’s done pretty much everything.

[Manic_Episode]

True, but Edward Norton is not in the movie nor mentioned in the review.

Must be getting late =)

[KC_Conspirator]

Rotten Tomatoes Audience score is a 97%...and critics score a 29%. That usually indicates that there is a wide gap between elites and normies.

[Dr. Sivana]

To some of us Edward Norton is Ralph Kramden’s pal. Yes, I watch a lot more old stuff than new stuff.

We don’t need a catholic priest to cast out demons. All Christians are able to rebuke demons

[grey_whiskers]

That wasn’t my point; it was alleged sudden changes in personality were unrealistic.

I gave the suggestion to listen to someone with firsthand knowledge; and backstopped the inevitable counter-question “hows do you know they’re not just mentally ill, and the symptoms made up to play up to the exorcist” with the other point.

[Glad2bnuts]

True, but I wouldn’t try it without a very strong faith, and ability to keep calm under pressure.

This Baptist went along with two other Baptists to see the movie. It was intense, but with no profanity (a raretity these days...not even 1 mof***er). Definitely not boring.

[desertsolitaire]

Your post reminded me of ‘Sorcerer’ 1977 with music by Tangerine Dream.

[TauntedTiger]

I’m looking forward to watching it again. Epic

[Jemian]

That is one of my very favorite movies. The last scene:

Califf: Great Rasuli, we have lost everything. All is drifting on the wind, just as you said. We have lost everything.
The Rasuli laughs.
Rasuli: Califf, is there not one thing in your life that is worth losing everything for?

I keep that in mind as I go through my life.

The author’s curated movie list was oddly ostentatious. The remainder of the review was no less uninformative.

That’s who I first thought of too. Amazing he is still around and now in the movies! ;)

Thanks. I hadn’t heard a whisper about this one. I see it just opened on the 14th. I’m always looking to improve my early warning system. Where did you hear about this?

I see it’s at a scattering of local theaters so I will make a point of seeing it. I appreciate the tip.

[Candor7]

Agreed. And we have had a lot of opportunities lately.
