Nefarious

Editor's Note

Nefarious will go down as one of the most unique and unconventional Christian films of all time. Although technically classified as a horror film by many critics, the "horror" elements don't consist of gore or jump scares, but instead of the mature subject material surround a death row inmate who claims to be possessed by a demon. When a psychiatrist comes in to evaluate the inmate, he is shocked by how much the inmate seems to know about him and his personal life, claiming to know this information through his demonic possession. This film is also not exceptionally flashy—most of the movie takes place in the psychiatrist seat as the main character evaluates the inmate. However, when I viewed it for the first time, I was impressed with how interesting the film was despite heavy dialog scenes. It is very dialog heavy, but in a manner that is deep, mentally stimulating, and thought provoking. If you are looking for an unconventional Christian movie, check out Nefarious!
