Critics Consensus

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

Subtlety is not the film’s strong point. Neither is casting.

Perhaps its worst mistake is categorizing it as a horror film. It has nothing to do with the genre... [Full review in Spanish]

1/5

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]

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]

4/4

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.

This movie portrayed the devil and how he works perfectly. It should be enough to convince people the devil is real.
