Nefarious

This movie is like if someone tried to make an adaptation of Screwtape Letters but made the story unintelligible and dumbed everything down for no reason. Seriously, why does the demon spend half the movie convincing an atheist of the Christian faith and how murder is bad?? If the demon wants the atheist to "write his story" or whatever, why does he try to make him kill himself at the end? The demon's motivations make no sense. On top of this, the characters overexplain EVERYTHING that happens, leaving nothing for the viewer to figure out at all. Even with the spoonfeeding, it still didn't make sense because the story is just that poorly written. I liked some of the acting and the ethical question of whether someone with dual personalities is responsible for things they did unwittingly. Besides that, this movie is useless. It's marketed as a "Christian horror/thriller," but who is it even for? Christians will see this and go, "Yep, that was theology," and I don't see any non-Christian viewer being convinced by this poor excuse for a Christian argument. Just read Screwtape Letters instead.
