Nefarious (Movie Review)
MSMB ^ | October 31, 2023 | Rob W. Case

Following the suicide of a serial killer’s psychiatrist, Dr. James Martin (Jordan Belfi) takes over where his predecessor left off. Not realizing what he is in for, Dr. Martin arrives at a state penitentiary in Oklahoma, where the serial killer, Edward Wayne Brady (Sean Patrick Flanery) awaits a final psychiatric evaluation, ordered by a judge, to determine whether or not Edward Wayne Brady is insane (which will expunge his doomed fate, because he would fall under the category of “mentally ill”) or if he is rational enough to grasp the reality of what he did, which would mean that he must be held accountable for the 11 murders he committed. The penitentiary’s Warden, Tom Moss (Tom Ohmer) warns Dr. Martin that Brady is a “master manipulator. An absolute genius.” He adds, “[if] you listen to him, by the time he’s done with you, he’ll have your head so twisted around, you’ll think you’re the killer.” Since his predecessor was ready to declare Brady insane, Moss hopes that Martin will evaluate the matter to the contrary. If Edward is officially declared not insane, he will be executed via the electric chair by 11pm that night.

When Dr. Martin comes to sit down with Brady, what he sees is a man who is of two minds....

If you encountered another person who is demon possessed, how would you handle it? Would you believe them? What would it take for you to consider taking their identity seriously? What signs would you look for? What kind of questions would you ask? Such matters are what makes the film "Nefarious" so compelling, intriguing, thought-provoking, and interesting.

Nefarious has a 96% Audience and a 35% "critic" score.

In todays world, that means that the movie is good, based, and liberals dont like it. They should not like it, it shows that a dishonest and evil liberal lifestyle is demonic; that being euthanasia, infidelity, lying, and abortion.

I thought it was good.

At first glance, I had the same impression. When my Dad and sister saw it, they thought it was really good, and they do not have cheesy taste in movies. When someone else I recently met recommended it to me, it bumped it up in my queue in terms of priority. Now that I saw it, I really liked it, and I put it in the family of meaningful movies about fallen angels like “Devil”, and “The Screwtape Letters”. What makes it good is that its truth is meaningful and compelling. What we rationalize and justify today desensitizes us to the magnitude of the evil that surrounds us, that we are overly accustomed to. That dynamic alone triggered an array of thoughts.

I think it’s not Biblical and fetishization of occultism.

Matthew 15:19 ESV / 339 helpful votes

For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander.

Bring some holy water with you, and wait for the demon-possessed person to get thirsty. Their reaction will tell you what you want to know.

I’ve had a couple times in life where I felt like I was in the actual presence of evil. I think you know it when you see it. Even if you don’t see it, you feel it.

I see in some of those people screaming about Trump, them losing abortion, riots, BLM, LGBT+, beating up people, destroying property, taking whatever they want, etc, you see the evil. You just see it. I don’t even think they know what they are doing or saying, I believe part of what has a hold over many of these young people is an evil possession. Look at who their leaders are, many of them are into many evil things. Reminds me of the scene in The Passion when Jesus is being scourged and those scourging are just being incited by evil to keep escalating the scourge and all the while satan and that baby walk in the background enjoying it. I’m sorry, but I think many of those in the worldly progressive leadership (and even some so called conservatives) or leaders of their causes are evil. They too walk in the background inciting that ramped up evil and smile at what they’ve done.

As far as the movie goes, the scene at the exact moment of the abortion is basically the way I had pictured it to be in real life. If only those who believed abortion is ok would understand the evil. One day they will and will be horrified.

I’ve heard Exorcists will do that with the holy water when the person isn’t paying attention and would never know he’s doing it.

Most people won't get it and for good reason.

Most people no REAL concept of anything beyond the physical world.

IE: satan is a red guy with horns and a tail. There is no such thing as hell, My mom died and now has wings in heaven, My dog is in heaven, and I'm a good person - Im going to heaven.

I saw it last May when it was still in the theaters. I recommend it. A lot might depend on one’s perspective going in. It reminded me immediately of The Screwtape Letters; it is a dramatization of a statement of position, and it is well done for that purpose.

Stick to football and Fox News. They’re easier to understand.
