'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 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.'
Written and directed by Chris Nash, it stars Ry Barrett, Andrea Pavlovic, Cameron Love, Liame Leone and Reece Presley.
In a Violent Nature is produced by Shudder and Samuel Zimmerman, Shudder’s vice president of programming, said of the movie:
“In a Violent Nature is a tremendous new slasher. We’re thrilled for you to meet Johnny, whose reign of terror honors the iconic subgenre while taking audiences on a singular and brutal new journey within it. Chris Nash’s bold perspective represents the best of Shudder, marrying the genre’s traditions with its exhilarating next steps.”
It premiered at the Sundance International Film Festival in January and received hugely positive reviews. Some of those critics' reviews are plastered all over the teaser, with perhaps the most intriguing coming from Chris Hutchinson of Collider:
"Explosive, takes familiar slasher elements and tears them to pieces. You've never seen a horror film like this."
