A Canadian horror film already caused a stir at the Sundance Festival in January. A trailer from the killer’s perspective is now available ahead of the film’s regular release.
Since the Sundance Film Festival in January 2024, the experimental horror film In a Violent Nature by Chris Nash has been the talk of the town. At least among those who appreciate innovative slashers and don’t find it too disturbing to wander through the plot looking over the killer’s shoulder for a change. Almost as if you were controlling him as a murdering character in a video game.

The bloodshed will presumably be correspondingly slow

This is what the horror thriller In a Violent Nature is about
In In a Violent Nature, a speechless, zombie-like killer in a disturbing mask stalks a group of teenagers through the Ontario woods.

This atmospheric and thoughtful approach doesn’t seem to be entirely wrong, however, because after almost 30 professional reviews, the film has an impressive 93 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The cast includes Lauren-Marie Taylor, known from Friday the 13th Part 2, as well as Ry Barrett, Charlotte Creaghan and Timothy Paul McCarthy.
