Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Stephen King raves about In a Violent Nature, a new slasher movie with an 86% Rotten Tomatoes score. Written and directed by Chris Nash, the Canadian slasher film follows a mute murderer who preys upon a group of teenagers in the Ontario wilderness, with most of the events unfolding from the killer's point of view.
King's full post reads, "IN A VIOLENT NATURE: If you need a slasher movie, this one will do the job. It's leisurely, almost languorous, but when the blood flows, it flows in buckets. The killer in his mask looks like the world's most terrifying Minion." What Are Critics And Audiences Saying About In A Violent Nature? Close In a Violent Nature, because of its unique perspective and excessive amount of gore, has been garnering a lot of attention for an indie horror film. It premiered at Sundance in January 2024 as part of the festival's "Midnight" program, which is reserved for highlighting more experimental titles.
Despite its divisive reactions from audiences, In a Violent Nature has performed well at the box office for a low-budget horror film. Following its premiere at Sundance, the original 2024 horror movie was released in theaters on May 31 and went on to gross $2.1 million at the box office in its opening weekend, the second-best opening ever for IFC Films behind Late Night with the Devil.
