In A Violent Nature is a 2024 Canadian horror film directed by Chris Nash that attempts a bold twist on the slasher genre by telling the story largely from the perspective of the killer, Johnny. After a group of teenagers accidentally resurrects him, he begins a methodical and brutal spree through the forests of Ontario. The concept is intriguing, but the execution often feels uneven, leaving some of the film's potential untapped.
Ry Barrett delivers a strong performance as Johnny, and the film does have moments that stick with you, like the unforgettable yoga girl kill on the cliff. The practical effects and atmosphere help build tension, but the pacing is slow and certain narrative choices feel underdeveloped. It's an immersive experience at times, but it doesn't quite hold together as a fully satisfying horror story.
While it has its highlights, including the chilling kills and eerie forest setting, In A Violent Nature ultimately struggles to balance concept and execution, making it more of a curiosity for hardcore slasher fans than a standout.
