Here is My Movie Review of Nefarious

Now when it comes to this movie I never saw a single trailer. I didn't even know the film existed so I watched it twice and I was blown away by it and this is one of the most underrated films of 2023. 

So Basically what happens and that you have this guy named Edward Wayne Brady to get interrogated by this guy named Dr James Martin Who is task to interview him but Edward says that he thinks he is being possessed by the demon called Nefariamus/Nefarious and he's about to be brutally executed so Dr James Martin has to determine if he deserved to be executed or if he is telling the truth that he is getting taken over by another personality and that's basically what the story is for this film. The storyline in this movie is essentially if you took the scene of Batman and The Joker talking in the Dark Knight and made it into a full-length film by just having Christian Bale and Heath Ledger talking to each other for a whole hour and 30 minutes. I have to say the film executes the story brilliantly because you think that a film about two people just talking to each other in an interrogation room might sound really boring but somehow this film takes that concept and makes it perfect. 

Now the acting in this movie is magnificent because all the actors do a glorious job as their character and to be honest it only focuses around two people in the entire film. I think this is up there with Guardians the Galaxy Vol 3 as one of the best active films of 2023. 

However the absolute big standout of the entire film is Sean Patrick Flanery as Edward Wayne/Nefariamus Nefarious because Sean Patrick Flanery  is essentially playing three characters in the film. You have Edward Wayne who is this normal guy who said that he is possessed by a demon. But then you have Nefariamus and Nefarious who is his darker side and they torture and manipulate Dr Jason Martin in the film and Sean Patrick Flanery  does such a glorious job of playing all three of these characters. Now the character of Edward Wayne Is it really incredible and dark character because he believed that he is possessed by a demon and he wants to try to tell Dr Jason Martin what is going on but his two evil sides Nafariamus and Nefarious Enjoys playing mind games with Dr Jason Martin and want to break him as much as possible. The scene where Edward Wayne tells Dr Jason Martin that  he is possessed by a demon and not only is it really dark and disturbing but it shows how unstable and crazy Edward Wayne is as a person. The scene where his evil personnel in Nefarious comes out to try to attack Dr Jason Martin is a really dark and nail binding scene because It shows that Edward may not be that normal as he claims he is. It is probably the most shocking moment of the entire film.The scene where his other personality Nefariamus  takes over a starts crying and begging the police not to send them to the electric chair if they really dark and disturbing and creepy moment because this personality is the nervous and scared side of Edward because Edward has so much disturbing things about him that he can't control his personalities It is one of the creepiest moments of the entire film. The chemistry between him and Jordan Belfi Is terrific because both actors play off each other perfectly In the film because it's just them talking in a room together. 

Jordan Belfi  plays Dr Jason Martin in the film and his performance is tremendous. He does such a glorious and exquisite job of playing this guy who is very intelligent and doesn't take nonsense from anybody and takes his job extremely seriously.b now the character of Dr Jason Martin is they really tremendous and Incredible character because he wants to try to help Edward Wayne figure out if he's really possessed by a demon and try to get him to control all of his personalities before he gets brutally executed by the police. The scene where Dr John Martin first meets Edward wayne and he asked if he's really telling the truth if he's possessed by a demon it's not only really dark and really disturbing but it makes sense because he wants to figure out what is going through Edward's mind To believe if he's telling the truth or if he's just going crazy. It is probably the most disturbing and chilling moment of the entire film. The chemistry between him and Sean Patrick Flanery  Is magnificent because you can tell that both actors were having a lot of fun while making this film.

However the best thing about the film is the directing by Cuke Konzelman and Cary Solomon because you will think that a movie about just two people talking an interrogation room is really boring and not interesting but somehow these two managed to take that concept and make it both disturbing and Incredible at the same time because again this is a movie where you have just two people question one another if one of them is possessed by a demon or just going completely insane. I also like how they discuss the subject of multiple personality disorder because of the really scary and really disturbing mental illness because the person has so many voices in their heads that they take on different Personas and can leave them to do crazy or disturbing stuff and I'm super happy that they take the subject super seriously. I think it is really incredible how they did that.

So in conclusion I was really surprised by the film because of the really entertain storyline revolving around this police detective trying to help this guy Edward trying to balance all of his personalities which again you think a concept of just two guys talking to each other in interrogation room will be boring but somehow this movie makes it  scary and entertaining at the same time. Also Sean Patrick Flanery and Jordan Belfi  play off each other perfectly because they have such tremendous and spectacular chemistry. I have to say this movie is up there with Ant-Man the Wasp Quanta Mania as one of the most underrated films of 2023. I also like how it discussed multiple personality disorder and took it really seriously because it is really scary and a really sensitive subject. I also think that this movie is up there with The Electrical State Ke Huy Quan as one of the most underrated films of the 2020s. I highly recommend you watch the film especially if you like really suspenseful drama films like Killers of The Flower Moon with Robert De Niro. Then I'm sure you're going to like this film as well. I give this movie a 10/10.
