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.

Critics Consensus

As single-mindedly focused on mayhem as its demonic monster, In a Violent Nature serves up a deliciously disgusting feast for gore aficionados.

Stephen Romei

The Australian

It is so ruthlessly, mercilessly, casually, relentlessly, violent that it will deter lots of viewers, which is understandable but unfortunate for the director because I think he is making a point about the slasher movie genre.

Rated: 3.5/5

Empire Magazine

It is beautifully shot and deeply considered. But it’s an approach that won’t work for everyone.

Rated: 3/5

Times (UK)

The hook, this time, is that debut feature director Chris Nash uses some formal arthouse devices to reframe the horror movie antics we’ve repeatedly witnessed...

Rated: 1/5

I feel very strongly about the movie, in that I think it's cool but has a bunch of unfortunate implications for future slasher movies...

Film Stories

In A Violent Nature may well be the best horror film of 2024. It won’t work for everyone, but this writer found it extremely interesting and invigorating.

Rated: 4/5

Ian Bunting

Daily Record (UK)

In a Violent Nature is a fierce-but-flawed attempt at a brave concept that would’ve worked better as a shorter film shot completely using its killer’s point-of-view.

A refreshing take on horror. Very campy with the effects. Loved the idea of seeing horror from the villains perspective.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

This slasher has some of the best scenery and kills I’ve ever seen in a horror film, but lacks heavily in both the storyline and acting. Still a great slasher

Geramie S

With a little editing and few changes in dialogue, this could have easily been Friday the 13th part 15 or whatever. It was enjoyable though. Seemed to rub just a little longer than it needed to and the start was also just a little too slow. The kills were fantastic and really inventive however. I would recommend to any fan of the slasher genre.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

The premise is absolutely gold. First person POV is something unique in this genre and was executed well. Slow at times with little dialog but hits when it needs to.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Ohhhh I loved this film. Slashers are my fav subgenre of horror and the kills in this were so gross and traumatizing, especially that one. Go see this strictly for the kills if you're a slasher hater.
