I Finally Watched In a Violent Nature... (REVIEW) 

Random thought: They should totally make a Solomon Grundy horror movie.

Jason and Michael Meyers walked so Johnny could walk and crunch on grass 🤣🤣

Are boy Johnny was getting his steps in

Kinda sad that the biggest Friday the 13th film we’ve gotten in 10 years or so is a movie that can’t even call itself that, even despite it most likely being based on a unused script for a Friday the 13th film with how much it gives off that vibe.

Loved this movie. Brilliant use of sound, tension. Wasn’t bored at all. Even a few off camera kills went decent. The only thing I wasn’t huge on was the ending.

It goes to show that everyone wants a new Jason movie. (I mean the last time we saw him was 15 YEARS AGO!) And because the rights have been so messed up, so many filmmakers have made homages, rip-off, parodies or just simply made fan films dedicated to the F13 themselves.

Had a really good time with this one. Had someone in my audience yell everyone to sue this film and most people hated it. I did like it a lot surprisingly

Hahaha I put boring or brilliant? In my thumbnail. It’s definitely divisive and I honestly felt both. In this, I thought there was more good than bad. The effects and kills are amazing, but dang those last 10 mins. Woof!

I loved this film. I feel like the director was very inspired by the story telling that is done in open world video games. 3rd person over the shoulder with the story being pieced together by overhearing people you come across or visual storytelling. There is a very cool sense of okay so the legend of Johnny is true in this world, but depending on the character you hear it from there may be some differences in what is believed about the story. Also loved the change of perspective at the end, as it did a lot to create the tension. Whereas when we are following Johnny as the audience you feel safe. You can watch the horror knowing that you are behind the brute, but when he’s no longer in our sight, I was staring at the woods thinking that he is somewhere in this frame, but I can’t see him and that is unsettling. This movie is definitely going in my Halloween rotation every year, but I am also the person who loves The Outwaters, Skinamarink, and every Cronenbergs and Lynch film I can get my hands on. So if you aren’t in to art house it may just not be for you and that’s fine. But we need people pushing the boundaries like this to get new experiences and stuff like this is why I love film.

They should have went full-blown Hardcore Henry. But make it more Halloween like in a suburb.

I’m surprised to see the divide bc my audience was intrigued to see what Johnny is gonna do next like I know the lack of music and scenery is limited but that’s what makes this stand out to show the tension between what it’s like when the killer is the main focus rather than have filler storylines with our teen characters who are there to die

Your reviews are always exactly how I feel, I think you’re the best filmtuber and honestly the most reliable I’ve found for these kinds of things on RU-vid

Honestly I really liked it! I would say the only thing I would hate about the film is that it’s not a lot of fun since I love slasher movies that has that fun gory moments! But I think in a violent nature works since it’s something very different, gives me Friday the 13th vibes and is doing its own thing, although it is very slow and I can see why some people may get bored by it, but I love that it is supposed to be serious. And the one kill scene really shocked me! And the only thing I really loved about the whole movie is you get to see the Killer Prospective throughout the entire movie and that’s what I really liked since now I can now see what Jason or Michael or any other slasher does after they kill their next victim!!! Overall I really liked it! I’ll only see the movie again on digital, and also really liked your opinion and videos!

Went and saw it last night. It was more Hatchet than Friday the 13th, but Holy cow! I don't have the attention span of a middle schooler. I loved this movie so much 🤩 I dug the follow the killer but I hope we get a part two where it's part POV and regular movie. Man I hope they make more soon. Like Hell House LLC is going regular movie instead of found footage. I can't wait to see that. I gave IAVN a 10 out of 10. MORE MORE MORE!

Outstanding review by the way. Nice to see intellegent content creators who can formulate interesting and well thought out ideas without relying on jump cuts. Bravo!

For me this movie was a 5/10 like damn was it pretty boring especially the ending. I was literally about to walk out bc I was expecting something to happen. I liked the kills especially the yoga kill, I liked the cinematography, I liked the design of the killer with a definitely interesting mask, the setting was nice. Other than that omg I was really bored like in some moments I was fine seeing him just walk by himself but other times I was like can y’all hurry up this is getting boring. The fact that was done on purpose to annoy audiences is so stupid to me.

I'm one of the many who really loved and got pretty messed up by Skinamarink, I know it isn't for everyone but watching that one gave me a sense of dread and anxiety. I really did enjoy this movie as well but I do see the points you're making, especially about the whole campfire scene. I would have loved to have seen Johnny go about and doing things while we still heard the conversation the others were having. Overall I still enjoyed this movie and would not mind seeing more with a bigger budget for them juicy kills. My theater let out hella gasp and screams of excitement during the yoga scene, some even hid their faces from what I seen LOL.

just watch this last night as well and i appreciate ya for reviewing this chris! no one else i watch has talked about this

Brother thank you for having a RU-vid Channel. 🇲🇽

new 3c video!!! hell yes!!!!

Awesome video 3c films 😊

Much appreciated POV once again bro. Compared to a few experimental concept flicks not too long ago this is a masterpiece lol. Totally got what they went for and can see their inspirations in the final product. Wouldn't mind a sequel but not sequel-itis 🤘🏼👀The Strangers needed to follow this concept, A DAY IN THE LIFE kinda thing would've made that one fresh

A lot of walking!? Basically like Planet of the Dinosaurs then...

In A Violent Nature feels just like Friday The 13th!

It felt like I’m in the middle. I enjoyed the movie, but nothing about it really stood out aside from the cinematography and killer. I never found it boring, but I never loved it either. One character cannot make a movie great. There’s only one thing that bothers me a lot is how the naturalistic cinematography really clashes with the dialogue which feels like generic movie dialogue. Also the ending was not great. I feel like it makes sense, but they needed to find a way for it to work better.

Great video . Just curious but have you seen the new slasher /horror movie founders day

It’s nice to see a movie trying something new and be different, but we can’t just give something a good review because it’s different. I strongly agree with Chris’s review. (Can’t wait to see a movie like this done better, not that this movie is that bad.)

hold up Chris im so sorry lol, ill watch the video but before i unpause i have a question, i was watching the live and u said u got another movie to talk Abt after the venom 3 trailer, i got a feeling that movie is sonic the hedgehog 3, yes or no?(if u wanna keep it a Suprise thats fine

I think that the movie was good, honestly wanted more from the overall ending and movie.

i didn’t like the film, but i appreciate that someone made it. to me its a failed experiment. it mainly lacked tension, when we followed Johnny there was no tension because we knew what was going to happen. but the couple times we shifted perspectives, there was immediate tension.

You crack me up Chris!!! definitely agree with all of the walking, they could have cut at least half of the walking in the movie. lmao

I can’t wait to eventually watch this movie just the pov setting of the slasher as a concept it’s not just a refreshing idea but a idea that gets me hype. Also sadly this is probably the closest thing we getting to a Friday the 13th movie in a while so here’s hoping the lawsuit is over because I don’t mind the Jason universe we just missing a movie.

The spinning in the circle was done in Quentin Tarantino's movie Deathproof at the diner. It was a great homage to that movie.

Is this releasing in Uk cinemas like Vue , cineworld , Savoy

so chris i had this idea .. if they added where the killer mimics voices like their friends or mom or dad that's a cool fkn idea man and scary ! hopefully u see this

woah the timing is crazy, im literally deciding which movie to watch in 5 mins and u posted this review 10 mins ago.

What’s up with the new set up/background?

I found this movie somewhat satisfying. It had some great kills, which I was hoping for. However, it did have pacing issues. There was a lot of slow walking, but I could understand why. It provided the perspective of a killer, such as Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers.

Funnily enough, this movie has me really intrigued. I’ve never been a big fan of horror and especially the slasher sub genre, I find most of them to be so generic and boring outside of Scream and the first Halloween. Apparently, this might just be the slasher for me just cause of the experiment that it is 😂

You hit the nail on the head man. Felt like it was an old slasher and was fun at times. Your perspective on what movies they got this character from are exactly what I was thinking after I saw it. Solid review.

I noticed the softer looking moments. I may be wrong but I think they changed the aperture within the lens to change the depth of field for different shots.

New to your channel and this great stuff! Vio-lence!

I wish his senses were highlighted more from his POV. Like the sharpness of his hearing. There were a couple of times when he would be far away from his victims and his hearing seem to put him right next to them especially with his last brutal kill, Jean Jacket Hero. Maybe that’s why the crunching of the grass was so prominent. And to add on to your point about the “teleportation.” That was a missed opportunity to chop down the “boring” parts. It would have been awesome seeing his knowledge of the woods and what shortcuts he would take to get ahead of his victims.

The wood chipper scene was lowkey unsettling. Def my vibe 😂

I really liked this movie. Kills were brutal.

Always appreciate your reviews man! I have not seen this movie yet, but with all the hype and "Non-Spoiler" reviews I am watching it this Tuesday and can't wait to see it. This is a totally different "slasher-style" film, so honestly I expect to lose a few things with this movie. Such as great dialogue and what to do during the "boring moments" of him walking through the woods until he gets to his next victim. I feel you can't compare this movie to the other slasher films, but just enjoy it for what it delivers....and hopefully learn from your mistakes when "In a MORE Violent Nature" premieres... 🙃HAHAHAHAHAHA

Are we ever getting a trick R trick 2?

Great point in saying Johnny could have been setting up things while the story was being told. That would’ve been a good way to show how he sets up the kills and thinks them out.

Been waiting for this

Solid review by a dude who gets it. I liked the film. Wasn't a 10/10 (probably a 5-7/10) but there were many analogyish, tranquil, experimental, and POV aspects (besides the great kills and sfx by Kostanski) that I'd like to see implemented in the future.

While I believe Friday the 13th works best in the 80s, this movie proves it could still work in modern times. This movie was deffo made for us Friday fans!

I really enjoyed how unique it was. Very slow but didnt bore me at all. Need more creative horror movies like this. Just pushes the genre forward in my opinion

“It was perfect, everything down to the last minute detail!”

Just saw this last night. I thought it was a very genius way to view the perception of the killer. One thing they did so well was the atmosphere and scenery is beautiful! Something I wish was better was the dialogue from the characters. (the teens more specifically) I think the kills and the vulnerability of Johnny really made this movie stand out to me. One of my favorites this year.

I just saw this today and I'm mixed on this as well. I liked how from Johnny's perspective the nature surroundings and sounds were eerily relaxing. While the sounds from the victims perspective were haunting and unsettling, especially in the third act.

this has been in my watchlist for a while, I cant wait to see it

I think a sequel will be a wonderful upgrade of what this was. Fingers crossed we get more!

Man i have a good day ahead, this and Godzilla Minus One.

Johnny has finishers like in a video game

I think one thing that could have enhanced it would have been the audio/sound of the kills. It would have made the kills more impact full. Instead, they seemed dull because the sfx on them were almost muted

It's really slow and deliberate, but the excellent kills definitely reward the viewer and I found the ending monologue sequence extremely tense and interesting.

I enjoyed this 100% because of Behind the Mask! I was completely on board. The fact that they decided to keep it more in a serious tone could definitely make people try to dissect it, too much. There were definitely choices that could have enhanced the experience and kept my interest a bit more. Overall, I was entertained and hope to get a move polished version of something like this in the future. Thanks for another great review, Chris! #GeeSawThat 🤘🏿😁👍🏿

Well, I definitely was not expecting to see THAT kind of a video title😳

You gonna review the F13 movies anytime soon?

DAMMIT, SOMEBODY STOLE THE GROUNDBREAKING IDEA FOR A MOVIE BEFORE I DID😡😡😡

The people Johnny killing do not have the gold locket.😢

Movie isn’t in my cinema and idk if it will even release here but I hope it does

It's a shame it doesn't have even a release date in my country, I'd love to see this in theaters

MORE Movies Should do this. its basically a WHAT IF movie. its a film about a killer you get to see the entire time. We need more cinematography like this. Most definitely gonna be a cult favorite movie. Its simple. Probably gonna inspire more new killers and new story's.

I wanted to like this movie so badly...but for many of the reasons you talked about, I just walked out of the theater feeling really disappointed. I could get past the acting and dialogue, I wasn't expecting perfection, but the nature shots and extensive walking were just too much for me. I was fighting sleep at certain points because some of the sequences just overstayed their welcome. The yoga kill was top notch! It unfortunately was not enough for me to redeem the movie, but I respect what they were trying to do. I would like to see another attempt at this type of movie, I think they're on to something here even if, in my personal opinion, it didn't hit the mark.

I’m seeing it Tuesday afternoon and I’m way more hyped now 🔥🔥🔥

I think I will check this out in theater, just watched a review from WWAM also

The only thing I really hated was the 10-15 minute bear story we could of been fine with out it , I enjoyed the movie but it is boring lol , the kills are really good in my opinion, if you only watch horror movies for kills then you shouldn’t be disappointed.

I’ve been looking forward to this one!! Thanks for delivering as always for us!!

To be honest I liked this movie a lot. Going into it, I already assumed the movie was going to be exactly what it presented, though it was corny at times. Was it boring? To some, sure. That felt like the entire point for this movie. A lot of people hoped for more tension in this movie but we are watching from the killer’s (Johnny) perspective, what tension *really* exists for him? Or any killer for that matter? What else could he be doing? I considered so many aspects from movies this one takes reference from because they’d be doing the exact same thing. The final girl and other supporting characters were typical and added little depth much like many other characters in Friday the 13th , the kills were sick (people even laughed in my theatre), but it was a fun watch. I like how they didn't focus on whether he would do anything (cutting phone lines, popping tires, etc.) and stuck with him just catching up to them and simply *searching for a necklace.* Also, I love that it ended with the unknown for him because we think he's going to reappear but..he doesn’t. The story definitely needed work but with the budget they had, I thought it was a great experimental film and felt like it was making fun of the tropes we’re used to.

4 people left the theater during the yoga girls death xD

A friend of mine really wanna see this movie but we've been extremely busy for the past 2 weeks now hearing this I assume the movie might be pretty bad a**. But now I feel like my expectations are a little bit lower now

Haven’t seen the movie yet but I definitely watch it when I can I really dig the idea …. Just kinda scared with how much walking I have to bare through

Is that aggressive beginning gpnna be a thing now?

I find it hella funny you mentioned Behind The Mask. Because when me & my friend got out for the theater, I was explaining to him how Behind The Mask did a better job at this idea than In a Violent Nature. I respect the film for being the way it is, but maybe in another universe it could’ve been better

*Experiments are so important, even a failure leads to success later on for someone else!* 🤙🏽🤟🏽🤙🏽 We need more risks bein taken in movie-makin again like they used to. Some hit, some miss but the best stuff comes from tryin stuff.

Liked it a lot and would like the killer POV concept to be used more

Saw this movie yesterday. Was pretty impressed by it. It's not too often we get a horror movie that focuses mainly on the perspective of the killer. Most horror films center themselves on a final girl or a couple of individuals but this film took a different approach that I think a lot of slasher fans really appreciate. Also the use of sound, the camera positioning/movements and the lack of a score give an ominous realness that gave me shivers. Sure, at the end of the day, it's mainly just kids getting killed in the woods but it's a fresh take on kids getting killed in the woods.

A ambitious movie it was a imersive experience for the most part but as a slasher fan this movie bored me all the walking without the kills I wouldn't of made it through I liked it props to the director for what he accomplished with the budget he had this movie would of way better with a bigger budget an could of had the killer so more than walking 7/10 creative,imersive,dull, yoga

I was able to see it at a film festival months ago, I loved it! It has my favorite kill of all time!

7.5 don't get me wrong they did something different it was cool to see killer's point of view but the pacing was too slow then the ending was medicore.

BRO THE VENOM LAST DANCE TRAILER JUST CAME OUTTT WHEN IS THE REACTION

This movie is just wants me to watch this doing spook ya mama season instead of rn doing the summer I’ll give it a chance in October

I get it. Trying to be different but you have to make the audience interested in those slow moments.

This was a perfectly fine movie, but I do find the last third really drag quite a bit and I agree an overabundance of walking scenes. Looking forward to them tweaking this formula and making something really great.

How do you watch it?

Man the ending with the lady explaining the story about the bear…. Almost walked out (should’ve)

I saw this last night! Yes lots of walking in the woods, that didn’t bother me, maybe they could have done more with it. Yes, the dialogue is an all time bad and so are the actors. Some of the props looked bad. Yes, that yoga scene is legendary! I would like to see a sequel, definitely with a better budget. I also enjoy the cinematography.

i think what would have complimented the walking scenes would have been if the scenery was vaugely recognizable subtly implying he deeply knows the woods, i do like the backstory tho, its very parallel. i think if they removed the characters as tropes and have them be normal people who just want to have fun in the cabins would have really grounded the story

I actually can’t wait to see this one 😀 sad it’s not playing close enough by me to go to a theater…

I really liked it a lot minus the last 10 minutes!!

Just walked out of the theater. I thinnnnk I liked it? Probably?

Saw it today… interesting experience however it’s a one and done. I don’t see me watching it again but was intrigued while watching it

The audience I watched it with was very into it, laughed constantly and the yoga scene got a one minute applause while erupting into utter disbelief at what they were seeing. Liked it more the second time I watched it

I love the movie it was the best horror movie I have ever seen I would love to see horror movies do this on the killer's perspective I really can't wait for this to come out on DVD
