‘Demonic Takeover of America’: Horror-Thriller ‘Nefarious’ About Possessed Serial Killer
As faith and family-friendly films continue to grow and develop, unique sub-genres are emerging, with the new film, “Nefarious” exemplifying one such evolution. The horror film is a rated-R thriller but with a spiritual aim: helping the viewer understand real-life evil exists, and that the battles described in Scripture are very real and palpable.
“On the day of his scheduled execution, a convicted serial killer gets a psychiatric evaluation during which he claims he is a demon, and further claims that before their time is over, the psychiatrist will commit three murders of his own,” the synopsis reads. Author and radio host Steve Deace, whose books are the basis for the film and who executive produced the project, told CBN’s Billy Hallowell he came up with the idea of novelizing stories of evil while in Washington, D.C., doing a publicity tour.
“Instead of just the temptation of individuals,” Deace said he ended up exploring a plotline about the “takedown of an entire culture.” “I realized that I came to Washington, D.C., to get inspired to write a book about a demonic takeover of America, because, literally, where else in America is there a better place to get inspired about a demonic takeover of America than Washington, D.C.?” Deace quipped.
While “Nefarious” is a fictional story, Deace said it’s very much based on the real-life spiritual battles unfolding today and throughout human history. “I married off my oldest daughter last fall. My youngest daughter’s gonna graduate from high school here in a couple of months,” he said. “I’m gonna have grandkids [eventually].” Deace continued, “Cultures that are in the tailspin that we’re in right now don’t have long-term futures. And so I’m worried about that.”
Deace is hoping “Nefarious” does something most Christian films haven’t ventured to try: create an exciting thriller the culture loves — but one that comes from a Christian worldview.
