Summary

  • In a Violent Nature is getting a sequel, and the horror follow-up begins filming this fall.
  • The slasher film impressed critics with its innovative gimmick that flipped the point of view.
  • In a Violent Nature 2 will continue to impress with its unique style and gory kills.

In 2024, one of the year’s most original horror films is set to receive a sequel, with filming beginning in just a few short weeks. The slasher genre, known for its killers systematically eliminating individuals, has seen enduring success with classics like “Halloween” and “Scream”. However, 2024 brought a new twist to the genre by showcasing the perspective of the killer instead of the victims. Instead of following the hapless people being stalked and slain, the movie “In a Violent Nature” focused on a silent, relentless predator, delivering gruesome violence against his targets.

Titled “In a Violent Nature“, this movie was crafted by Chris Nash, who had previously worked on gory films such as Psycho Goreman. Leveraging his passion for horror, he brought his own brand of grisly cinema to life. In the storyline, a locket is pilfered from Johnny’s resting place, causing him to rise from the dead. As he wanders through tranquil, sun-kissed landscapes, he systematically eliminates several individuals. The movie then delivers gruesome kills that shatter the peace for the audience. Critics were impressed by its innovative take on the slasher genre, awarding it a 79% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite modest earnings of $4 million at the box office, it found a dedicated fanbase when it became available for streaming.

According to Variety’s report, preparations are underway for the start of production of “In a Violent Nature 2” in September this year. The horror sequel was initially announced last year and is now moving into production in Canada. The storyline will follow Johnny as he continues his violent spree, with the anticipation of the gruesome killings from the original film remaining intact.

In A Violent Nature 2 Can Continue To Impress By Expanding On Its Gimmick

In a conversation, Peter Kuplowsky pointed out that the movie “In a Violent Nature” was initially designed as a metasequel within an imaginary slasher franchise, making it ideal for a sequel film. This slasher film introduced Johnny as an indomitable killer, similar to Jason Voorhees in the “Friday the 13th” series or Michael Myers in “Halloween”, enabling him to carry on in novel ways, despite any setbacks that could have claimed the life of an ordinary individual.

A challenge for the movie “In a Violent Nature” is that it didn’t resonate as strongly with general audiences as it did with horror aficionados, evidenced by its 45% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. This low score may be attributed to the film’s leisurely pace and a climax that some viewers find underwhelming in contrast to typical genre standards. Nonetheless, despite the possibility of missing out on mainstream audiences, the relatively affordable production costs of “In a Violent Nature” mean that even if it doesn’t reach a wide audience, the sequel could still be profitable due to its potential for franchising.
