On the day set for his impending execution, a convicted serial killer undergoes a critical psychiatric evaluation. To the astonishment of the evaluating psychiatrist, the killer asserts that he is no ordinary human but a malevolent entity—an embodiment of a demon. Even more chilling, he predicts that before their fateful encounter concludes, the psychiatrist will be driven to commit three heinous murders of his own.

"Nefarious" unfolds as a seemingly straightforward concept that quickly descends into a horrifying spectacle, though sadly, it falters in its execution on multiple fronts. Co-directed by Chuck Konzelman and Cary Solomon, the film struggles to gain momentum, akin to a feeble attempt at overtaking a massive truck on the highway with nothing more than a horse.
The central premise revolves around a serial killer who is revealed to be an actual demon. While the movie presents a series of grotesque and unsettling scenes, its intention to explore the experience of a non-believer confronted with the existence of angels and demons fails to strike the right chords. Instead, the narrative becomes a convoluted amalgamation of horror elements, lacking coherence and cohesion.
"Nefarious" may find an audience among die-hard horror enthusiasts who prioritize visceral gore over acting, script, and direction. For those seeking blood-soaked visuals splattered across their TV screens, this film might offer a temporary thrill.
However, for most viewers, Nefarious will be a disappointing and forgettable endeavor that fails to leave a lasting impression.
