It’s been described as a ‘fascinating horror experiment’
A new horror film shot from the perspective of the killer has got an impressive score of 93 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes.
In a Violent Nature is an upcoming horror which centres on a mute killer who targets a group of teenagers in the Canadian wilderness.
Soon to be released on horror-focused streaming service Shudder, you can watch the trailer below.
Just like the best slashers, In A Violent Nature is full of guts, blood and gore, and took the Sundance Film Festival by storm earlier this year.
But along with having all the classic slasher tropes, the film looks set to stand out from the crowd thanks to its unique perspective.
Another unusual thing about the film is that it doesn’t feature a score or any music.
Explaining the decision to have no music in the film at Sundance, director Chris Nash said: “We don’t want to have a soundtrack, we don’t want to have a score. We just want to let the forest be itself and have that tone carry the audience through.”
After 28 reviews, In a Violent Nature has very impressive Rotten Tomatoes score of 93 per cent. You can check out some of its reviews below.
Bloody Disgusting – “A fascinating arthouse horror experiment that plays more like a minimalist slice-of-life feature with a grim, gory twist.”
Variety – “Its stripped-down approach to a familiar gist has a distinctiveness that is impressive, and is sure to please fans who are always up for a new slasher film — but wish most of them weren’t so interchangeable.”
IGN – “While it lacks in the story and character department, none of that meaningfully takes away from the overall experience. However, if you’re here for copious amounts of practical splatter, Johnny and his drag hooks really paint the forest red.”
Polygon – “For horror fans, it’s a rare treat and a fantastic exercise in taking a genre in the opposite direction that everyone else has tried.”
In a Violent Nature is released in cinemas in the US on May 31 and will land on Shudder later in the year.
