Critics Consensus

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

Audience Says

A thought-provoking story, intense dialogue, and some incredible acting make Nefarious a psychological thriller that's well worth watching.

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

Rated: 2/5

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

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]

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]

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

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