Nefarious

• Horror
• Drama

A chilling psychological horror unfolds as a psychiatrist, tasked with evaluating a death row inmate for execution, finds his clinical detachment eroding amidst the prisoner's unsettling claims of being a demonic entity. The narrative thrives not on jump scares, but a deeply unsettling exploration of faith, culpability, and the potential for evil to manipulate the rational mind. What distinguishes this film is its deliberate subversion of demonic possession tropes, framing the encounter as a disturbing intellectual and spiritual battle where the psychiatrist’s own convictions are relentlessly questioned – and potentially corrupted. The film generates a tense, contemplative atmosphere, building not towards exorcism, but toward the agonizing possibility that the true horror lies not in supernatural forces, but in the darkness within human nature.
