Best review of the movie so far!
Thanks a ton!
Yeah man tell me about it. I'm 1000% born again Christian, former atheist/spiritualist of 34yrs and alot of condemned things in the bible Catholics do and catholicism is littered with paganism and occultism. Hopefully you can see that one day friend. Until then GOD bless you.
Movie was great though.
@@djirate052380 The Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ in AD 33. We have the largest database of sins. What is your point? Catholics are sinners? I'm 1000% born from above and life again. Life again? Never forget the words of Christ "he had life again" in the Prodigal Son. Any gospel that teaches that a person can go from death to life but not life to death is a false gospel. Do you have life again? Or do you presume that you have never committed a serious sin in our decadent world?
@@grega.4061 show me in the bible where it says that the catholic church was formed by Jesus lol. You can't. Emperor Constantine formed that paginsitic satanic church I believe around a.d. 430ish
Almost NOTHING the catholic church does is biblical. You people are being groomed for hell in that works based pagan cult.
Every sin is serious in the LORDs eyes btw.
@@KeithNester agreed, loved, and subbed!
One part that reality struck me was when Nefarious explained that one of his goals is to punish God by causing harm to the ones He loves. Made me more sensitive to my daily choices and how it disappoints and hurts my Savior.
Yes! I did a devotional on this part too. A totally different perspective on why we are hated; by the world, by the devil and demons too. We should realize how LOVED we really are!
@@MrFergusonLawn a
Lol. Are movies reality?
@@Fire_ov_Renewal this one was
This is so true
I cried towards the end when the guard didn't bring him his food. That tore me apart. His agony was palpable.
What he ordered sounded like something a child might order from Burger King. It made me think that Edward just wanted this one last simple pleasure from a more innocent, happier time of his life before he dies, and the demon didn't miss the chance to get this one extra bit of torment in on him.
Me too!
mee too It is so well done, And if we felt moved by this, for sure Jesus would when he died It shows the agony and suffering a possesed soul could have, after he repented
I honestly felt so much empathy and heart wrench during that scene. That broke my heart.
That was the roughest scene for me.
We are definitely in a spiritual war. I went on a Priest discernment retreat a few years ago and I opened myself up to the possibility God could be calling me to be a priest or anything really I just said God your will is what I will do whatever you want me to do I will do. Immediately after this demons started attacking me now sure I don't physically see them but I can definitely fell their presence especially when I am tempted to sin. Unfortunately as a result I have fallen into addiction but I have really started to take the scriptures more seriously and God has sent people in my life to get me out of this blackhole and eventually I will be out and I just want everyone to know that God is good he can change your life you just have to have faith. And to whoever reads this comment may God bless your soul and know this you are not alone.
Keep fighting Anthony. Pray the Rosary everyday!
Go to Mother Mary pray the rosary 💙
Go to St Joseph terror of demons 🙏
Speak the name of Jesus and the name of Mary out loud. Loudly. As often as you need. ✝️✝️✝️💥
Keep fighting the fight against the one who wants to stop you becoming a priest. You are in a battle but with God’s help you will win.
@@KeithNester Thank you for the advice I am going to do this fro now on.
That actor who played Edward was soooooooo good! That guy deserves an award for that! Prayers for him even for the aftermath!!!!!
He was the guy from boondocks saints, Sean Patrick Flanery, awesome actor
The movie was excellent!! Sean Patrick Flannery deserves an award for his acting!! Jumping between the two characters and he made you feel sorry for Edward! Amazing!! I also, do not do horror movies this was intense and just masterfully done!
It was so real I wouldn’t even consider it a horror movie. It was more like theology class with the devil
It seems impossible to find this movie. I would love to watch it. Can you give me any tips on where I can find it?
My heart broke for Edward - I had to leave for the execution scene (I was crying in the lobby & somebody asked me if I was ok, lol.) It inspired compassion for Edward in a *big* way. *"There but for the grace of God go I."* All the devil needs is to get a claw tip into us -any one of us can be taken down - *nobody* is immune. St Pope JP II knew this - and the saintly man went to confession WEEKLY. IMPORTANT: Every sacramental confession is a mini exorcism. Stay close to Jesus & the Sacraments 🙏
I saw this movie, it shows how Satan goes around seeking those he can destroy. In the Name of Jesus protect me from the evil one. I belong to the King of Kings...Jesus Christ! Amen!
@Klvyn. WAV never
Edward being so emotional is what made the movie pull at your heart strings. Him being to the point of torment that he can't keep it together and he sees death coming and all he wants is peace and safety at this point. He knows where he's going and he wants more time. His portrayal lingered with me for days and make me want to weep. People all over deal with this torment all the time. It fills you with compassion for those in torment. We battle not against flesh and blood.
I think you nailed it, Edward is a child lead easily into evil by a demon time and time again. His refusal to face the demon gave it absolute control.
But against the powers and principalities
Amen! The battle is real. Darkness's greatest deception is convincing humans it does not exist.
@@angiq1970 I'm not sure that's true, you don't do evil on that level and expect not to get attention. I mean "I will be like the most high." indicates he sure wants the attention.
@BoyKagome That's usually the demons downfall...their pride. What I meant was, as is going in prevelently all over the world, evil in its most sinister form creates avenues of destruction and harm, disguised as pleasure, power, prosperity, etc...then they just sit back entertained at where we humans take it... and never think we are actually battling the powers of darkness.... just the corrupted and disgusting nature of the "id" within every human... the seed of self that can only be removed by the blood and power and mercy and grace of God through Christ. Eventually through demons rear their ugly heads when they don't get enough attention.... or something scares them. My point was, try to convince the masses that they need to fight demons to end all wars, pedophilia, horrors and ateocities committed for greed, etc. Most just don't get it, or accept it, even when the truth is revealed... kind of like the dude doing the interviewing... how much did it take to convince him he was fighting Legion, and not just conversing with an overly mentally damaged man?
Having studied Theology for over 30 years, I couldn't have been more thrilled about the fidelity to Truth demonstrated in this film. Phenomenal. Can't wait for the sequel 🎉
where did you attend?
Sequel??? So it’s a cliffhanger… 😩
While I havent seen it yet because I live rural, I get vibes like "Fallen" with Denzel vibes, x 10. I loved the Screwtape Letters. Top 5 reads ever.
@@singularitywatch That was some movie!
@@glennlanham6309 I studied Mystical Theology for 22 years under a humble, holy professor who generously offered his classes free of charge in our parish. He was the spiritual director to over a hundred devotees & consecrated souls. I continued my studies after he passed away. I prayed for years for, "an insatiable desire to be holy" and God generously answered. 20 years later, I average four to six hours of study daily but admittedly, now I'm able to listen to talks by Traditional Priests and Saints as opposed to reading. Blessings 🙏
Looks like one of the better movies out there right now..... Hope it plays in more theaters.....
I agree! It also blew me away, and I haven't seen a movie in the theater in over 5 years! Pure genius in bringing out the message with such boldness. The more I ponder on this message after seeing the movie, the more I love this movie and highly acclaim the producers!
One of the theological consultors for Nefarious was a Catholic priest and exorcist.
INTENSE from start to finish!!! Excellent production. Much of it validated what I already knew, have read, and listened to about how demons operate and the state of the world it’s in currently and why, his desires, his pleasures, his dislikes, etc. If you aren’t exactly sure how demons truly think or operate, this movie will hit you at your core. Definitely not an “R” rated movie however, it has a couple of scenes that are disturbing (I was in tears). A must see film for all, no matter the religion. It’s a movie that is 100% spiritually factual, eye opening, and encouraging. Highly probable that the conversion of many souls who do not believe or who are indifferent, with Gods grace and mercy, will come to believe ♥️
Where can I watch it online?
@@MuhammadAmmarsheikh I don’t think it’s streaming yet...
It was 100% intense. Understanding the mindset and suffering Edward was going through made several scenes heartbreaking. It affirmed what I know to be true, but I still had to take a minutes before leaving.
I won't be able to see this movie but I know of a few people who've been driven to a belief in God because demons drove them to it.
Even him changing the book was in the devils agenda because after the lady at the end he said we are different from humans in that demons are very patient and could have gotten in from some back time when he invited him.
I'm a Bible thumping Baptist. We are in a never-ending, 24/7 excitential war with evil. Put your armor on
Pray pray pray. We know who conquers in the end. But so many lives will be lost.
Thank you for putting this review together Keith. It's great to hear straight talk, from a trusted source ❤️ .
Both hubby and I thought it was excellent! Great writing and acting. Thought provoking. A movie for our age !
That was a fantastic review. Thank you. And what a phenomenal saying "This movie was made by Christians for non-Christians" As Steve says......"That'll preach!"
Thanks Tyler
If you see this film and think it was well worth your time, please leave a positive review on the usual sites like Rotten Tomatoes etc.
Currently on RT, it has received a 33% score from reviewers but an audience score of 97%.
The public is hungry for the message of the film but the establishment critics' view is that "it lacks subtlety, the expressed views of the demon are clearly a mouthpiece for the filmmakers". They even slam the casting which is ridiculous.
With their poison pens, they want as few people as possible to see this movie.
I'd say that it is the reviews themselves that lack subtlety. A couple more: "The film's heavy-handed and bogus message tells us that Hollywood is immoral because it acts to corrupt its viewer's minds." and "The only thing not covered in this Christo-fascist manifesto of a movie is “guns.” These are laughable reviews, their own extreme bias and agenda are screaming from the rooftops.
I enjoyed one positive review that says, " Nefarious is interesting enough to give it a watch. Just leave prejudice behind and enjoy the possession take they're going for."
The Wiki page is a slam piece, mentioning the negative critic reviews and parroting the establishment reviews. They make no mention of the general audience giving this film an overwhelmingly positive 97% approval and enjoyment rating.
So please do what you can to give this film its proper due and justice.
Great stuff! Thanks
As if filmmakers don’t use characters ALL THE TIME to push their agendas. Critics hate seeing these things brought to light.
I never read official critics for any movie anymore....usually disagree with them & often they are just arrogant prigs!
Well Said! Very Well Said! 👏 👏 👏
I've only seen the previews, and what they did in 🍅 was disrespectful, we should do that to every Disney movie, and rate it badly to see how they like it, you know the pedophiles wouldn't like it.
Sean Patrick Flannery was INCREDIBLE
The first and best trick of the Neferious is to convince you he isn't real. Lord Jesus Christ, Divine Mercy, have pity on us. +
I’m a Protestant & this movie confirmed all I’ve been thinking the last 6 yrs.
Confirmed what ? That god allows a human being to actually be possessed by a demon and then the human has no free will lol , it’s a movie!!
This movie is an outstanding portrayal of the Spiritual War for our souls, moreover, it's the best I've ever seen regarding an accurate picture of that War against Powers and Principalities! Absolutely riveting is an understatement! The lead actor, Flanery, deserves an Oscar for his performance. You wouldn't think that a movie with just two principals talking to each other throughout would be that gripping, but this one is unforgettable, and they complemented each other well! Nefarious is a morality play where you see the truth of the demonic at work endlessly for our souls! If this doesn't give you a wakeup call that the devil and hell exist, nothing will! I can't recommend it highly enough! You won't ever forget it, of that be assured, as it addresses the evil of our time in terms of the sins that cry out to Heaven for vengeance like no other movie I've ever seen! Its warning is "Don't ever let your guard down" as satan prowls the world for the ruin of our souls till we draw our last breath!
Where to watch it?
I saw that it is available for purchase on youtube.
The R rating resulted from what happened to a finger (not the middle finger, and it wasn't cut off), but they increased the rating based on that. In some sense, it helps the movie fit the rating that one would expect for non-religious audiences. But it was thought to have been given to keep Christians from wanting to watch it, since plenty of PG-13 films get by with at least as much as this film had in it. LifeSiteNews has a great video with the makers of the film. They point out many things that got in the way of producing the film, including things that clearly seemed like spiritually-caused things. [Added later, I tried to avoid spoilers, but comments made to my comment include spoilers.]]
the finger or maybe the execution scene.
I remember a pro life film about Abbey Johnston was rated R for propaganda yes they literally rated the movie as R because according to the rating board it was propaganda.
Ads are technically propaganda, as a company attempts to propagate their products and/or services. Thus, if MPAA wants to be consistent, they must make all movie previews so they are rated R. But since you can't have previews rated higher than the feature movie, then movies for children would get zero previews or ads. But they wouldn't want to be that consistent.
More of this! There are too many feel-good Christian movies.
@@TrueBagPipeRock It's kind of a dick move to spoil the movie. Did you do that on purpose to be a jerk?
I saw the movie twice. I believe Edward was portrayed wimpy to help us be more sad for the lost.
I think a little differently about the death penalty now. The first time I saw it I cried for the lost 4 times. The 2nd time I still cried, especially in the abortion description. I have always been prolife, so the description wasn't new to me, but the way nefarious describes the abortion is heartbreaking.
Love this movie. I'm still thinking about it and it's about a week from the last time I saw it. I hope they release a DVD so I can share it with more people.
Thanks for sharing your point of view
I’m so glad I went and saw this yesterday! I was scared to see it, but it wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be! Everyone needs to see this! My friend watched it and went home and got all her kids (12yrs and up) and brought them to the next viewing… it’s important people know evil exists!
Thank you for speaking the truth! For a few years now I have been telling any Christian who will listen that we have been deceived. We have confused being “nice” with being “good”. I’m more guilty of this sin than most. I hate how weak I’ve been, when I’ve known the truth for so long. Real love is taking the chance of telling people you love they are headed in the wrong direction even though they may hate you for it. Pray without ceasing my friends.
My nonCatholic neighbor friend and I watched this movie together. At the end, she was very disturbed. I focused not on what satan can do, but on what God can do, so I was at peace. People need to see this movie with their family.
Yeah, if there was one shortcoming of the movie, is it painted a picture that Edward was simply lost with 0 hope(even with the barber mentioning he could still ask for forgiveness but then writing him off as the demon was still in control), but that feels more like a limitation of being a movie where as the book to expand more into how Edward opened himself to the demon.
In the movie, when we get to see Edward, we feel sorry for him and can't imagine him opening himself up to a demon, but he obviously did.
@@mattm7798 listen, we all make mistakes, i once open a door too, the only hope i have is that God can forgive me for my sins, because i do regret them, so yeah, i hope, that where there's life, there's salvation, and i don't want to see God get hurt, either.
Yeah, as a christian the devil didn't scare me, and by the away, the movie is aware of this too, there's that part where Martin calls the priest and Nefarious start to get nervous, untill he meet the priest and he was like: Oh... i didn't realize that we were playing on the same team ( a low key criticism of the church itself for surrender) as a catholic, i dare to say that we got a really bad Pope in horrible times.
Your review is stunning! I agree with everything you say. I am a Lutheran but have great respect for your position.
Thank you so much!
Highly appreciated to you Mr.Keith..God be with all of us inh this spiritual battle
I don't do horror and sure as heck not demonic horror. Though I do agree the Catholic church needs to speak more of the horror of hell for those wishing the secular over the eternal God.
Okay, okay, this is the 3rd review I've randomly seen by Catholics I trust. I guess we'll be going to see it!
Update: We saw it. It's a little much for preteens. Really good content delivered in a powerful way. Hopefully, it makes a positive impact on the lives of non-believers & those who are "cafeteria" believers!!
Did anyone pick up on the fact that he calls himself “WE” kinda reminds no of these lost kids that refer to themselves as they/them…
Yes sir Kieth we don't need to bother about bashing Catholic,the movie is very like he has a spiritual battle it's a good movie for everybody to have more strengthen our faith to Jesus Christ❤
Some Catholics are Christians. Confused Christians. But Catholicism is NOT Christianity.
Catholic priests are false mediators. Bishops and popes are fale apostles. The Catholic mass is blasphemous. And the Catholic gospel is NOT the gospel of Jesus Christ, it is a false gospel through and through.
About time that satanic genres got some Christian attention.
The horror junkies and obsessives will HATE any Christian content, any gospel insights that reveal demonic activity.
Clearly the makers of the film are aware of the powers and principalities that run the entertainment industry . So this film will be hated and trashed by all the right people.
The evil appeasers and suppliers will hate all this. So we followers of Jesus must support the creators of this film.
Looking forward to it coming to the UK....my God, we need its message.
@Keith Nester 😮 I'm floored. That was an AMAZING video. You were so bold. So direct. So impactful. Big thumbs up to you for speaking your piece and offering up your opinions. They were excellent. And compelling. I think we would all be happy to get more like this from you if you are moved to give a review of other movies. Old movies. Movies many of us may have missed. Movies that have been around that have something to say to us. That said something to you that stayed with you afterwards like this movie did. Thank you. Bravo. 💥✝️💥
NOT a horror movie. Excellent film and the acting was amazing! You gotta see it.
I just watched it now alone in my room. Halfway through the film I paused it and went to get my bible to hold, that is how powerful and heartbreaking this film is. It is no wonder the critics hate this film, it shines a light on their hedonistic self serving emptiness.
Good point about the role of Edward. I also would have liked to have learned his backstory. Excellent review!
First time viewer of your podcast and really enjoyed your review. I saw this a few days ago with some Christian friends and we all loved it. I felt convicted when I saw Edward in his right mind being tormented, I thought of all the people on the streets dealing with supposed mental issues, people struggling with homosexuality and gender dysphoria when they may just need delivered. Let's take back our nation by running the real enemy out! In Jesus' name! 🙏🤗
Waiting for it to come to my area… I am anxiously awaiting..
I've already zeroed out from seeing movies for 2 years now, as Hollywood is now unapologetic and shameless with their satanism; but with how you and Gabi have reviewed this, I look forward to seeing this movie. I saw Gabi's review yesterday, yours is the second.
Thanks for the review! I was watching US Grace Force and found out that this movie was directed by Cary Solomon & Chuck Konzelman who are Catholics. They said that they had so many obstacles making this movie. The Devil really didn't want them to make this one.
This movie looks awesome. Kinda like CS Lewis screw tape letters. People should read the screw tape letters...the devil is real and wants your soul for all eternity. Hope this brings people from all walks of life to examine their life, and come to the faith.
You've got a great delivery. I was so impressed watching you talk and express as well as explain the movie (which I watched as well). Just like watching the movie and being drawned into the dialogue... Watching you discuss the things you did draws into the conversation. Phenomenal review!
Thank you so much
Exactly, people need to become very aware of the reality of the ongoing battle being waged in the Heavenly realms and in the earth. Between Heaven and Hell. And it being over mankind. Also, to understand that mankind is not without hope or help but that the crown of glory does rest on their heads and turn to Jesus and the Catholic Church, which is and has been the universal church with an unbroken lineage back to St.Peter. The Church where not even the gates of Hell shall not prevail. Lucifer, knowing the end is near is has his legions full force , just look around. As they say, " It's getting real."
We don't know when , but the pressure is building, and it's going to explode, and that'll be it. I will continuously pray it will be on the right side we find ourselves when it does.
Steve has been at various Des Moines Evangelical churches. He's one of those Protestants that leave and find another Church when stuff comes up that he doesn't agree with. Before I came back to the Catholic Faith, I actually visited some of the Churches he attended with some friends of mine. But I think he has become very open to and tolerate of Catholics.
Cool! I'm sure eventually he'll run out of Protestant Churches and when he does, he'll show up in a Catholic parish!!!
You know, Catholics are not the only Christians.
@@jancook8451 true, but Catholics and Orthodox are the only Christians who have all the Sacraments, especially Jesus in the Eucharist.
I encourage all non-Catholic Christians to come fully into the Church Jesus established on St. Peter.
@Catholic Housewife I respect everyone's beliefs but I I am a Christian on faith alone and on studying the Bible but I know that there is only one Mediator to God and that is Jesus Christ. I couldn't follow the church's teaches of rosary, mass and church law. But I truly respect your right to see things done differently. I love everyone in Christ.
After Jesse Romero and you brought this up, I knew I had to see it. Can't wait for the weekend.
I was blown away by your review of the movie, Keith, and its message to everyone that the devil and his demons do exist and we are in a spiritual battle every day with them. That is a fact that we keep doubting.
I was blown away too. Keith was so powerfully convicted. It was awesome. Compelling.
Thank you!
Thanks Andrea
This was an excellent film! I saw it last night with a loved one in the theatre! I’ll be attending a second time for viewing! This is a must see for everyone! Im so glad I watched your review before watching because I’m terrified of horror films, and this was definitely more of a psychological thriller - PG-13 at its worst. A 12 year old could easily watch this. I appreciate you clarifying this! Also, I arrived 15 minutes late into the film and managed to miss all the secular movie previews and the actual film started perfectly at the time I arrived. I so much appreciate you mentioning this! God bless you, brother in Christ! 🙏🏼✝️🕊️
I've long ago seen and felt this Evil that was mostly covered in the movie. Our society's Evil manifested itself much starting in the 60's. I was in my twenties and saw and felt the many sorrows of it as I tried my best to live as a devote Catholic. The devil's worse weapon is to conquer by division in all areas of our life.....family, politics, faith, etc. The results are painful to the point of death if one does not know God's Love, Joy and Peace. May Jesus be merciful to all who read this.😇🙏🏻
Awesome share!!! Those who are led to see it will be New warriors for the spiritual battle 👍
Oh Keith! Steve’s MY FAVORITE podcast as well! I subscribe to The Blaze for him! Met him once at my son’s former church long ago!
Thank you, Keith makes me curious!
Right now angel studios are putting out tons of movies and they are crowd funded.
They are of course Christian like you said, but not typical.
I feel like these people and Angel studios might want to confer since they’re both in the same business.
I don’t know what you think about that?
Is this in theaters right now? I am not a fan of violence and I might not see it because of what you said it was R rated for.
But it sounds interesting for sure. Thank you.
Ephesians 6 verses 10 to 18 : "For we battle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against spiritual forces of wickedness in High Places. So put on the full Armor of GOD . . . . "
This is a battle against GOD which comes from the Dark Side. We must believe this. Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, Help us!
Thank you! I'm going to go and see it...The offer if taken would be the scene of the world today!! They lay in waiting.. God bless you! Pray pray pray!!
Nobody that has made a decision to abort, female or male, should watch this movie due to the inevitable trauma it creates. "All hell rejoices." That knocked me right out of my chair. This is no doubt a great movie but it hits hard and it does so relentlessly.
The abortion part of the movie was simply amazing filmmaking, taking the message and weaving it so well into the plot.
When the demon asked what his girlfriend was doing today...right now....goosebumps.
The worst part of all this, is that WE KNOW is wrong... heck, i start to tremble just to remember that once i suggest an abortion for an ex gf of mine, i was young and dumb, but that was wrong, and i did suggest, the worst part is that i wasn't even against the children, when she told me i actaully got happy, but she was scared and i just try to confort her and be "logical" (it was a false alarm in the end), but it doesn't change the fact that i suggested that...
Thanks Keith. I was looking for a good review because our friends invited us to go see the movie next Monday and I didn’t know that their was such a movie. The title of the movie aroused my curiosity. I am glad and 15:33 thankful for your review. We are going to go see it Monday. We have to keep fighting the spiritual warfare. Amen!
not a planet this is a realm
Great Keith. Now I want to watch this movie more than anything else.
The doctor’s name is James Martin? Coincidence? 🤔
LOL
@@KeithNesterLet’s hope all the James Martins of the world repent and believe in the true Gospel. Thanks for sharing! My husband and I are planning to take our teenage boys to see Nefarious this weekend, thanks to your review.
No
Im in South Africa and hopefully they will release it here. I appreciate your raw honesty when reviewing this movie. Cant wait to see it.
Where can this be watched?? I have been looking for ways to watch this (other than the theater) anybody know?
Thanks @keithnester for the review! I was a bit nervous to see as the description is “horror”. I’m a total wimp at scary movies and do not enjoy them, but want to always support Christian content/artists in any way I can.
This is not an ordinary horror film. This is what is actually taking place, not the story here per se , but the truth of the battle between Heaven and Hell over the souls of mankind definitely is. Since the beginning, when man was presented to be his favored above all his creations and Lucifer, in his pride, rejected the idea vehemently, leading to his rebellion and enlisting other angels to his side ,found themselves cast out of heaven. He seeks vengeance against God by trying to destroy mankind. If people only knew the reality of the battle and the final end of evil in eternal damnation and with those flagrantly dismissed God's warning time and again throughout human history, I would certainly encourage people to watch it. You don't need to understand electricity for it to kill you. Likewise evil, you don't need to understand it ,but know it's present and it will seek ,devour, and destroy. A simple story can or will take the blinders off.
I consider this a psychological thriller, not a horror film. There are no shock/gross-out scenes.
I never go to horror films but this was not horror , it was so real. Amazing acting and I got so engrossed in it . Wow
Fantastic review - you grasped the essence of the movie and the intention behind it.
Just saw the movie and thought it was so GOOD! I think every Christian adult needs to watch this movie. People need to have the spiritual eyes to see our reality. And this movie helps that! This movie really does punch you in the face with truth!
Great job, explaining this movie! I want to see it soon!✝️🙏🏻
The reason the ending had to be what it was is because of Steve's book. It would be interesting to see an alternate ending with your idea and Nefarious' book along side.
Is the author Steve ok? I heard he was in 3:34 hospital and in a bad way.🙏
WOW! Keith, What a Great review! Splendid job! Fantastic! 👏 👏 👏
You covered alot of ground, with this review! It sounds like you have a shot at a movie yourself! 🎖 🏅 🎖
Excellent job reviewing this movie! Another thing that I liked about the movie is that Dr. Martin's possession by the demon only happened because Dr. Martin actually invited the demon to inhabit him. A wonderful moment in the film. I loved the interview segment at the end of the picture and thought the performance was great. However, I thought the Cameo appearance somewhat takes the audience out of film. I think another established actor might have maintained the fourth wall a little better. This is not a criticism of the performance. I thought he did a great job. It's funny, it's often said that we shouldn't discuss religion or politics. In my opinion, those are the two things that may be most important to discuss.
Thank you! Hope itll be in the Philippines too
God be with us!
I thought this was going to be another ‘horror’ film but it was not at all. It was so well written. Utter brilliance. Everyone should watch this film.
So how come it isn't being shown in theaters in Canada?
Your review was just excellent and very fair ~ just found your channel ~ ❤️🙏🏻🌹
Thank you so much! Welcome aboard.
The fact that you wanted to know more about Edward sounds like they maybe did their job.
I’ve always been afraid of horror movies but I used to just watch it for the thrill but after being saved I don’t anymore. But nefarious I had to watch it with my husband. A lot of it seemed all too familiar. I used to struggle with demonization. I used to have overwhelming tormenting thoughts that were too much to handle. The demons always overwhelmed my mind with pain, sexual perversion, hatred, suicide, self harm and a lot more. I became a born again Christian and got baptized by the Holy Spirit. But I still struggled with demons still in my head. It was when I started seeking God that the Lord started giving me spiritual warfare dreams. It would start small from praying over a house to literally seeing a demon and to delivering people. What’s crazy is that I didn’t know about deliverance and that Jesus did it. I watched Derek prince and come to know more and more. And then I was led to Isaiah Saldivar’s TH-cam channel. At this point the more I knew the more it started to make sense of what I was going through. I knew I wasn’t crazy! I was demonized. My husband eventually started to understand deliverance and stepped out of faith to do deliverance on me. He started praying over me and demons started manifesting. They hated it and yes they mentioned their name, Legion. There were many that came out of me. The feeling I can only describe is as if something was being ripped out my soul/body. I remember toward the end, i was very exhausted almost like I was going to die but I was able to catch my breathe. Oh boy, do I praise God! He delivered me! I was able to speak what was on my mind! My mind was CLEAR! I felt lighter! From that day on I wish everyone would go through deliverance bc it’s real! The spiritual warfare is real. But so few Christian’s believe in it! God is Spirit! We have the authority to crush the devil! Jesus paid for it all and stole the keys back from Hell! Jesus is the Victory!
I think my ex-fiancé was tormented in the same way you were, just from how you describe your thoughts. I tried to get him help, but it became too dangerous. He was acting irrational, and lashing out in anger and strong mood swings. He had a secret drug problem and porn addiction… but he would dream he was in a spiritual battle and that evil was trying to get him, and he was trying to close a portal to hell that was opened with witchcraft. He said something about a lot of black birds, one that would talk… it was creepy.
He went away to a monastery for a few days, and was given some Holy water. When he got home, he sprinkled it around the room. His cat started acting funny, so he sprinkled a little on the cat, and the cat went nuts! Started running frantic around the room, got the door open, ran downstairs, through the living room, and jumped out the open window!!! It had never done that before, never went through the window!
Something must have been associated/affixed to the cat!
I had to break ties with him. I didn’t feel safe. I pray for him, but when someone has bad anger issues, it can be dangerous. There is more, but I don’t want to share it. Please pray for all those afflicted, oppressed, and even possessed! 😭
@Jen N I'm so sorry! I'm glad you got yourself safe first. I was an ex catholic and became a born again christian. My mom's side was into catholicism but also witchcraft. The cat might have been cursed. But to be truly set free you have to be born again and be willing to go through deliverance. Spiritual warfare is real. I watch isaiah saldivar and mike signorelli on deliverance. You can watch them and learn more about it. Hope it helps.
@JJ France amen! Hallelujah!
What you experienced sounds like diabolic obsession. This is NOT possession, nor vexation (where demons take over your body, or where demons either attack you externally-physically, your finances, your home, family members, etc). Interior obsession comes from persistent thoughts and temptations that are more severe than ordinary temptations. They come as periodic episodes and are not explained by mental disorders (for instance, OCD). You can find out if you are being targeted for diabolic obsession by 1) asking the Holy Spirit to revealing it to you, or 2) see a Catholic exorcist, or 3) praying specifically to target the demon by Father Rippenger’s Latin Binding Prayer and naming the demon (depression, lust, suicide, etc.) and if you experience relief from it, you will know that yes, you are being attacked internally by a demon. Father Rippenger’s Deliverence book is so, so helpful for this.
How i can i access the movie for i have tried to find it but failed
Terrific review! Steve my favorite podcaster as well. We can disagree about Edward's personality. The cheeseburger scene broke me...
Keith, amazing review. Because of your endorsement, I took three of my buds to see the movie today... Wow, it left a mark.
Everything Keith said is accurate about the movie. Highly, highly recommend it!
Thanks James
Amen!!! I love this review! Meanwhile, Pints with Aquinas is praising the Pope's Hulu movie (a branch of Disney...need I say more).
It's not logically impossible for them to produce something good, and in the case of the pope movie, they accidentally created something good, because the Pope represented the teaching of the Church to Disney viewers who would never otherwise hear it. It's good.
I have seen the battle we are in for quite some time. I am conforted seeing just how many people are around the country. You couldn't be more rightabout the church and our lack of action. So glad they made this movie!! Thank you for a great review.
Hi can you tell me when I will be able to see this in the UK please?
I liked the movie, but agree with the point about accepting the offer. I would have liked to feel more temptation about that offer, be a top global author, fame, fortune, legacy and have the psychologist realize that he could be the next JK Rowling or Stephen King if he accepts. I love the movie though and don't have the bona fides to give feedback, but the offer should have been more illustrative in temptation.
The Devil at the Crossroads, about the blues singer/guitarist, Robert Johnson is that kind of story....excellent movie, remastered version 2019. Not the same kind of movie as this, but this man takes the devil's offer & becomes a legend!
His arrogance and pride led him to accept, he didn’t even have to be bribed.
Saw this movie today and it was excellent!! I was the ONLY one in the theatre which was a little creepy at first but I had my rosary with me.
Oh yeah that would be freaky
The Rosary is an instrument used to hypnotize via repetition. Also, we are not supposed to praying to Mary or any of the other saints they do. So much hidden witchcraft in the Catholic church
would love to watch this, but based in UK, when will it be streaming
When the psychologist asked him about his childhood, I think it was a very good opportunity for us to get to know each other. Who was Edward but the devil himself gives us clues that he was an unbaptized child, that his grandmother gave him a ouija board and he started making bad decisions because the devil had more and more control over him, so I think we do know him better but by the words of the devil.
I bought it for my Dad’s birthday and after he read it he let me borrow it, it was very scary…I think I might only watch it with him
I think the book has more details. The movie does not show any scenes of what he is saying. I was disappointed with that.
What up Keith!!!
This movie did not reach theaters in UAE. Any help where to watch online?
Excellent analysis, Keith.
I felt like this movie had vibes similar to The Outfit. Both movies are mystery thrillers that take place in one location. In The Outfit, the whole movie takes place in the tailor’s shop and in Nefarious the whole movie takes place in the prison, specifically the interrogation room. Both movies focus on a mystery. In The Outfit the mystery is what was on that recording and in Nefarious the whole mystery is trying to figure out if the man is really possessed of just crazy or simply trying to appear crazy to get out of execution.
Another thing I liked about the movie Nefarious, is that despite the heavy themes, not a single character ever curses, not once did I hear a single curse word.
Never seen The Outfit. I may have to check it out. Thanks!
I can’t watch horror movies but I watched this alone in an empty theater and I was ok. I closed my eyes through all the previews. Maybe skip those.
I’ve liked Sean Patrick Flanery ever since he played the antagonist in the underrated The Dead Zone tv series, he’s a phenomenal actor!
I can’t wait to see this and have indifferent hubby see this! A very good friend saw it and said every child 13 and older should be required to see this movie. I’m grateful to the producers and actors and all involved, including you, Keith, for the review. 🙏🏼
Keith, I will watch this. Thanks
Ooo sounds interesting! Thanks for sharing.
I cannot find anywhere to watch Nefarious in Australia. I wonder why even streaming is not available? I hope I will find a way to watch it. Any suggestion will be appreciated!
Where can u stream this movie or watch it outside theatre’s
As a person that was raised Catholic and has drifted but still been interested in the subject matter from a distance, I really liked this movie. I went into it expecting some garbage because it's been painted as a horror movie, and basically, every single horror movie I've seen in the last few years has been absolute woke garbage (along with most media). So I was completely caught off guard by the movie's willingness to tell it like it is. The only gripe I had was the demon seemingly taking control of Willian at points where, imo, it would've been crueler to let William be in control, but that's about it.
I wish folks would just stop usng, resuing that word... woke. It is tearing our Country apart, pitting them against one another. I know that is not what Jesus wants for us.
Excellent review man. Glad it’s not cheesy, Truth needs to be told. ✝️
Is that Mark Snow music in the background? Sounds like old school X Files.
Just discovered your channel. Awesome.
What’s sad is not only is the Church standing by while the fire burns, some churches are singing campfire songs and making s’mores, thinking the fire will just burn itself out 😢
You are so correct
Singing campfire songs & making smores....I would LOL if it were not such a spot-on description of what is happening in Protestant and some Catholic churches today. I have found the Orthodox church to be a solid truth-speaking home for worship and salvation.
