IFWT #90 - In A Violent Nature (2024)

Considering the 2 of us live in a rural area, it seems appropriate that the next film we’re covering takes place deep in the forest. And what woodland area could possibly be spookier than that of Ontario, Canada? That’s right, this week we’re taking a look at not just a new horror film, but a new horror sensation. In A Violent Nature comes from first time feature length director Chris Nash, and it follows, quite literally, a killer brought back from the dead and seeking bloody vengeance on, what else, an unsuspecting group of campers. Its pacing and central conceit have deeply polarised audiences, with some calling it fresh and innovative while others have deemed it slow, artsy and pretentious. What do we think of it? Light up the campfire and we’ll tell you all about it.
