This is a good, fun film. The action sequences are entertaining, the acting is okay, the plot is a bit derivative but that's okay for a Sunday afternoon relaxing couple of hours. The connections to Oliver Twist are pretty tenuous, but I think you can enjoy this on its merits. Nice to see some new talent mixed in with some solid big names.
Nefarious serves up enough suspense and gore to satisfy the fans of the genre without going over the top and spoiling the film for the broader audience. The film has good pace and some strong performances from the leads and supporting cast. The final twist is well hidden and yet sufficiently foreshadowed (in hindsight) that you don't feel cheated.
An excellent blend of horror with subtle humour and a few laugh out loud moments for good measure. A team of new and experienced actors bring depth and freshness to a clever plot that moves forward with pace. The heart of the film is a clever inversion where the supposed victims seem at times more powerful than the presumed villains leaving the viewer constantly guessing what the outcome will be. The production quality belies the small budget and one can only wonder at what the team could have done with more money to play with. Recommended.
