In a Violent Nature
In a Violent Nature
When a locket is removed from a collapsed fire tower in the woods that entombs the rotting corpse of Johnny, a vengeful spirit spurred on by a horrific 70-year old crime, his body is resurrected and becomes hellbent on retrieving it.

There is a lot to like about In A Violent Nature. If you’re a slasher fan, this has some brutal and unique kills that are worthy of the early festival buzz this has garnered. [Read My Full Review]
Cinematography and sound are really wonderfully looking. Shot like a 3rd person video game, the camera follows closely behind our undead killer, pushing in as something comes into his focus and panning left or right as he looks to follow his new target. It’s different and unique and makes for really fun watch to see a slasher from this new perspective. Where this film disn’t quite live up to the buzz is the finale (if you could even call it that). Having spend the entire runtime methodically plodding behind this killer, we inexplicably shift perspective to our final girl and the end really fizzles. I would have loved one more exclamation point kill to close out this film. No such luck. Plenty of fun to be had, but enjoy those kills while they’re happening because beyond a certain point, they dry up. Still an easy recommend.
