Nefarious poster

Why people love it

Nefarious (2023) stuck because it commits to its horror premise without apologizing—viewers remember set pieces and momentum as much as plot. Cary Solomon's control of tone keeps the ride coherent. The horror and drama blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
