Blu-ray Review - In a Violent Nature
March 15, 2025
If one squints hard enough, there's kinda, sorta a "Friday the 13th" sequel happening in "In a Violent Nature." Writer/director Chris Nash (who contributed to 2014's "ABCs of Death 2") certainly isn't pursuing a fan film with the project, which follows, quite simply, a masked killer made of unstoppable magic looking to seek revenge on a collection of young people who've dared to spoil the lasting memory of his mother. Sounds pretty Jason Voorhees-y, but Nash hopes to put his own stamp on slasher cinema with the picture, which isn't a slam-bang offering of suspense, but something very stripped down and hostile…when it wants to be. "In a Violent Nature" is not for the impatient, as Nash presents a slow-burn study of a Movie Maniac's menace, delivering a feature that takes its time with nearly everything it offers. It's almost a test of endurance during travel sequences, as the helmer looks to subvert the subgenre and also deliver hugely with acts of barbarity. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
