Nefarious

Could've been a good thriller even on a low budget but the remedial writing and poor editing just eradicated this movie!

I had to wait until the 53rd minute to realize that it actually was a horror movie. Overall quite a good script considering it was a low budget movie and the fact that the actors were unknown to most of us.

An utterly stupid movie with nothing to offer, no elements of anything interesting, intriguing, shocking, shaking, horror for rats and an ending that defies the worst low budget productions out there.

Even as a low bloody budget production, a movie should stick to basics and basics it does stick with something called filming with the help of a camera and lots of electricity and money wasted.

Starts good, ends like a pile of... Even the instruments, visual effects and fumes were wasted.

This British low budget home invasion thriller is one to stick with - the setup takes some time, but the payoff is worth the wait. Actor performances are pretty good across the board - script is well written and believable, but perhaps has one too many twists towards the end. Nicely shot and edited - the earlier scenes feel like something from a British social realism entry, and these, contrasted with the theatrically staged police interview scenes and hyper-real finale, it's an interesting way of telling the story. It's not like anything I've really seen before, so difficult to compare it with anything - but it requires concentration and a level of intelligence to piece together all the parts (by the audience). Not recommended for the casual horror fan, but it's well made and intriguing enough to warrant a watch if you like independent horror made by new voices.

Movie staff upvoting again.

Shut it off for the bad acting, garbage script, and terrible camera work.
