Overview
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 he 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. Long stretches of deliberate, methodical slowness punctuated with moments of brutality make In a Violent Nature one of the most bracing horror movies to come along in years.
“A once-in-generation slasher flick”
“Think of Chris Nash’s film as Béla Tarr doing an unholy doc-fiction hybrid about Crystal Lake”
“It’s rare for something this necrotic to feel this fresh”
Why You Should See This Film
There's been a lot of talk about "elevated" horror and what it means exactly (it's about trauma), so writer-director Chris Nash's debut feature is a welcome change of pace, melding a genuine love of the genre with an admiration for the meditative cinema of Gus Van Sant and Terrence Malick. His background as a special/creature effects supervisor shines through as Nash resists explaining lore or the interiority of the shambling killer that stalks the woods of In a Violent Nature, embarking instead on experimentations of how myth and icon are created through the aesthetic conventions of the form. It's also gnarly and gory, so there's something for everyone really.
