Nefarious(2023)

Sean Patrick Flanery did a really good job in this. Oscar Worthy performance.

If you actually believe in Christian theology, then what the "demon" says in this will probably have you pondering. Do demons actually exist? Do demons really influence human behavior? Alot of questions, a lot of introspection. 

I understand what the movie tries to explain and what people believe. There is a war going on between good and evil, whether you're a willing participant or not. 

If you follow the movie, demons already know they can't beat God. Apparently, that's not what they're trying to do. The goal isn't to beat god but to separate as many "souls" as possible from God through sinful(rebellious) behavior. Demons believe this causes God to suffer. It definitely causes human to suffer.

Imagine the reason why you're here is to enjoy as much as this experience as you can before death takes it away from you. Demons make it their obligation to keep you from doing that, while separating you from God in the process. Lose-lose situation. 

This is the problem. Why would an all-knowing, all-powerful God create a space where this happens? We're not talking about God saving your soul, we're talking about God saving your humanity. Why do demons, who are allegedly fallen angels exist in the first place? Because apparently, there is a war going on between God and the Devil, and human beings are simply caught up in the middle. The best way to save a person from danger, is for danger to not exist in the first place. This is obviously impossible.

This movie was actually really good, but this is also a serious issue amongst us.

Is any of this real beyond just believing it? Or is this real because our mind simply believes it to be real? Our minds may never truly know but be sure to appreciate this movie!
