Chances are that if you’re reading this article, you’re pretty familiar with the slasher. You’ve seen a fair amount, you have a favorite final girl, and you definitely have opinions about which entry in Friday the 13th is best. You’ve seen it all, which is why you should be excited for Chris Nash’s feature film debut In A Violent Nature. It’s a different kind of slasher, but don’t worry, there’s still plenty of gore to go around.
In case you need a reminder about the plot of 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 60-year-old crime, his body is resurrected, and becomes hellbent on retrieving it. The undead golem hones in on the group of vacationing teens responsible for the theft and proceeds to methodically slaughter them one by one in his mission to get it back—along with anyone in his way.

In his review of the film from the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, Dread Central’s Bill Bria wrote,
“Nash’s film is brutal, melancholy, contemplative, eerie, and— yes—innovative, staying well within the slasher margins when it comes to tropes, structure, and narrative. However, he’s coloring inside those lines in thrillingly new ways.”
Ry Barrett, Andrea Pavlovic, Cameron Love, Reece Presley, Liam Leone, Charlotte Creaghan, Lea Rose Sebastianis, Sam Roulston, Alexander Oliver, and Lauren Taylor star in the film. Peter Kuplowsky and Shannon Hanmer serve as producers.
In A Violent Nature comes exclusively to theaters on May 31, 2024.
