In a Violent Nature: a slasher like no other
While the slasher genre seems to have been explored from all angles, there are still filmmakers who decide to take the genre and take it to new places. This is the case of In a violent nature directed by Chris Nash, the new horror film that caused a sensation at the Sundance Film Festival this year and which stood out for its audacity and originality. The concept of the film? Adopt the perspective of the serial killer to deliver an immersive and haunting cinematic experience, as shown in the film’s trailer recently released online:
The film tells the terrifying story of Johnny, a vengeful spirit whose peace is disturbed when vacationing teenagers discover and steal a mystical medallion hidden in the ruins of a watchtower deep in the woods. This medallion, deeply linked to Johnny’s soul and to a terrible crime committed 60 years ago, is the key to his resurrection.
Brought back to life, Johnny transforms into a supernatural creature thirsty for revenge. Armed with unwavering determination, he pursues the young men responsible for the theft of the medallion, hunting them mercilessly in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Every teenager who stands in his way is a potential target, with Johnny willing to do anything to take back what belongs to her and make those who woke him pay.
When night falls and the forest is filled with the screams of its victims, the film immerses the viewer a breathtaking race against time. The boys must not only survive Johnny’s relentless assaults, but also understand the source of his anger in order to try to end his reign of terror.
