“Stay out of the park…”
In a Violent Nature released in limited theaters on May 31st 2024. The slasher horror film (directed by Chris Nash) stars Andrea Pavlovic, Charlotte Creaghan, Ryan Barrett, and Reece Presley. It runs for approximately an hour and thirty-four minutes.
When a group of teens take a locket from an old fire tower in the woods, they unleash an undead killer who slaughters anyone he comes across.
Here is the trailer:
In a Violent Nature attempts to accomplish something different by presenting everything from the killer’s perspective. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…
The Pros:
Tries something different…
This was an inventive concept. I really liked the idea of having everything shot from the killer’s perspective (although this wasn’t always consistent).
There was one extra gory kill in particular that grabbed my attention. This one is worth nothing, but the way it happened made me scratch my head. If they were going for shock value, they succeeded with this one scene.
The pros stop here though…
The Cons:
So boring!!!!
There was so much slow walking in this movie. It drove me absolutely bonkers and not in a good way. I would have much preferred for the killer to run around and just kill everyone. That would have been a lot more interesting. I get that this set the tone of the film, but it was painful to sit through. I was bored out of my mind!
Horrendous dialogue.
When we got up to characters actually speaking I was relieved, but then I changed my mind really quickly. This was some of the worst dialogue I have ever heard and the acting was atrocious. I was anxiously waiting for the killer to just break up the party and kill them all, but instead I had to sit through all of this fluff and wait until we got more walking…
At one point a character yelled out, “what are you waiting for?” (very IKWYDLS-esque) and I said: “for this movie to end!”
So am I in or out?
I’m out on this one…
This film is already getting a lot of hype and glowing reviews. I’m all for supporting lower budget slasher films and if you enjoyed this, then I support that. I’m glad you got something out of the movie. This just wasn’t for me…at all.
In a Violent Nature is dull, boring, and painfully slow. It put me to sleep. I’d rank it right there with Skinamarink, which is another movie that got way too much attention.
I did like that one kill though so kudos on that…
