NEFARIOUS, an incredible supernatural thriller, opens in Theaters on April 14th in select theaters. It's based on a novel by American talk show host, Steve Deace and written (and directed) for the screen by Chuck Konzelman and Cary Solomon.
On the day of his scheduled execution, a convicted serial killer (Sean Patrick Flanery) gets a psychiatric evaluation during which he claims he is a demon, and further claims that before their time is over, the psychiatrist (Jordan Belfi) will commit three murders of his own.
My REVIEW: This is a film I was prepared to pass on at first glance. The poster looked scary and I saw it was listed as Horror--- a genre I normally avoid! But, when I received an email from Rich Gerberding of Christian Movie Central highly recommending the film, even comparing it to The Screwtape Letters, I was intrigued.
Rich also provided a link for an upcoming online screening, so I signed up. Within minutes I was pulled into the story and it kept my attention. NEFARIOUS is one of the best films I have watched in a while (and I have seen some good ones) and a mesmerizing psychological/suspense thriller. Sean Patrick Flanery is phenomenal as the demon-possessed man! I also enjoyed Jordan Belfi as the attorney. Other familiar faces I was pleased to see includeStelio Savante, Cameron Arnett, Jarret LeMaster, and Tom Ohmer.
It's not for children, yet there is also none of the blood, gore, etc. often associated with horror; I don't think it should be R-rated either. I definitely think it's an incredible film and recommend you see this movie while it's in theaters! BUY TICKETS HERE!!
THE JOURNEY: A Music Special from Andrea Bocelli is an exploration of moments that define us, songs that inspire us, and relationships that connect us to what matters most in life. Bocelli’s hope is that the movie "offers an invitation to fully live and recognize our daily miracles."
"THE JOURNEY" combines
world-class musical performances with intimate conversations across the
awe-inspiring Italian country-side. In addition to Andrea Bocelli, "THE JOURNEY" features Michael W. Smith, Tori Kelly, Tauren Wells, TAYA, 2CELLOS (Luka Šulić and Stjepan Hauser) and many others in amazing musical performances across majestic locations.
My Review: My one word review is, "Magnificent!" The music, the musicians, and the gorgeous view are each fabulous on their own, but the combination is an event you don't want to miss. I was already a fan of many of the musicians listed so I expected to LIKE "The Journey" but it exceeded my expectations. The conversations with both family and friends along the way added to intimacy yet invited the viewer to be a part. This is a perfect worship experience to add to your Holy Week activities.

"We journeyed by horse for
over 300 km. along a path that was not always easy to travel, but
absolutely beautiful, made of meadows and forests; sacred places filled
with lasting testimonies of faith, full of art of incredible beauty, and
views in front of which one can’t but ponder about creation and the
miraculous work of our Heavenly Father.” ~ Andrea Bocelli
