What to Know

Critics Consensus

Nefarious is well-mounted and boasts some solid performances, but it's hard to look past the story's heavy-handed proselytizing.

Bill Goodykoontz Arizona Republic Subtlety is not the film’s strong point. Neither is casting. Rated: 2/5 Apr 13, 2023 Full Review Miguel Calabria EscribiendoCine Perhaps its worst mistake is categorizing it as a horror film. It has nothing to do with the genre... [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 7/10 Nov 30, 2023 Full Review Paula Vázquez Prieto La Nación (Argentina) A prefabricated plot with a predictable conclusion, cardboard characters, and an aesthetic devoid of that imagery with which Bergman dressed his stories about the dark contours of belief. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 1/5 Nov 30, 2023 Full Review Juan Jose Cruz Cine Premiere Although it has a strong beginning and a great premise, the truly terrifying part is watching this movie go off the rails. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2.5/5 Nov 10, 2023 Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage A psychological thriller that gets bogged down in its own game. [Full review in Spanish] Nov 9, 2023 Full Review Mark Jackson Epoch Times A theological, philosophical, and metaphysical debate couched in the psychological thriller genre. The world currently needs this debate of atheism vs. a creation featuring a rock-solid moral underpinning that never changes due to human whims. Rated: 4/4 Jun 27, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
