Nefarious

First off, this is obviously a low-budget movie, and although that presents some flaws due to budget constraints, overall the film is quite solid. The story is intriguing enough to draw you in from the outset, add some developed characters, the use of flash forward, and an anxiety-inducing score, you get a tight, tense horror with great practical effects. And I only watched for the biscuits.

It is very bad story and make me sick 👎...... Zzzz

First of all, it's very clear that this film is low-budget, roughly $22k according the the director at a recent festival screening I attended. I only bring this up to highlight how impressive this film is for a budget of that size. The look is gritty, the lighting/color grade a bit too colorful and some of the acting is weak, but the strongpoints are so incredibly strong that this film is worth sitting through the lighting-fast runtime.

The dialogue is pretty amazing, Guy Ritchie levels of snappiness and snark, and I'm not just using that comparison Because of the UK connection, this truly feels like a low-rent Ritchie Film.

The plot isn't exactly fresh, but the pacing is great and the film rarely seems to meander and the twist, while also not exactly original, is fun and makes for a brutal and nihilistic final act.

The final aspect of this film that makes it worth watching is the score. There are a few original songs that may just be the best original songs ever created for a no-budget indie film. They are so good, you're going to spend hours looking for them online.

If you have the chance to see this film, I think you'll come to the same conclusion that I did, it is lacking in production value, because duh, it has a non-existent budget, but what they created with what they had, I can confidently say that this film is exceptional. If you are into true, no-budget cinema or filmmaking, this film should be on your radar and it should serve as a reminder that your ambition doesn't need to be a roadblock if you're willing to get creative.

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.
