On the day of his scheduled execution, a convicted serial killer gets a last minute court-ordered psychiatric evaluation. The killer surprises the psychiatrist with his claim that instead of trying to avoid his fate, he is in fact a demon who wants the execution to go forward… and further claims that before their brief time together is over, the doctor will commit three murders of his own.

A decent psychological drama with a slight thriller edge (it is not horror!). I have to admit that for being a low-key and unknown venture that sailed under the radar, Nefarious certainly won't offend, especially those who like conversational films. The entire film takes place in a room where a convicted murderer sits awaiting his execution, visited by a psychiatrist who is there to assess whether or not he is ill. The killer claims to be possessed by a demon and also predicts that the psychiatrist himself will commit three murders today. It has both a 90's thriller vibe and a minor Mindhunter vibe. Sean Patrick Flanery (for me his best film is The Boondock Saints) gives a very good performance. His facial expressions, tics and dialogue are very convincing, but he speaks so fast and there is so much reasoning and philosophising that I even got a bit tired, it takes a lot of concentration and the English is also more demanding, but others may not mind. If you like stuff about serial killers, especially exploring their psychology, this might interest you. A decent little atmospheric conversational film whose greatest qualities are the actors and the script. Add some of the murders and gore and I'd be thrilled too.. :D 6/10.

As is often the case with me, my expectations were quite high :) Based on the trailer, it seemed like a decent psychological horror film, but due to its execution (casting, locations, escalation), it falls behind in the end. The concept is original and entertaining - a demon inside a death row inmate and his psychologist who must determine if he is sane enough to be executed or declare him mentally ill to avoid the electric chair. Perhaps I'm a demanding viewer, but I was expecting much more. I was disappointed with the choice of actors for the main characters, and a plot set in a single room must be gripping, or the viewer will inevitably get bored after 10 minutes. Even the ending, which was supposed to be somewhat shocking, did not impressed me at all. So, for me, it was a disappointment, but not a complete failure :)
