In a Violent Nature is a 2024 horror slasher film written and directed by Chris Nash. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 24th, 2024 as part of the festivals “Midnight” program. The film is said to emphasize static long take shots and does not have a musical score.
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.
The cast includes Ry Barrett, Charlotte Creaghan, Liam Leone, Andrea Pavlovic, Cameron Love, and Reece Presley.
