"In A Violent Nature" is a genuinely beautiful movie that left a lasting impression. Similarly to one of my favorite horror films, "Midsommar," this movie masterfully juxtaposes violence with the serene beauty of nature, creating a captivating and haunting atmosphere. Let's dive into this latest horror flick:
From the very first scene, the film immerses you in its world, making you feel almost as if you are the main character. I loved how the movie followed the antagonist instead of the victims, much like the point of view of many horror films. This level of engagement is one of the movie's strongest points, as it pulls you into its narrative and keeps you emotionally invested throughout.
One of the most striking aspects of "In A Violent Nature" is how it almost evokes empathy for its antagonist at certain points. This complexity adds depth to the story, prompting viewers to reflect on the ideas of human nature and the dichotomy of inherent good versus evil. It's a thought-provoking experience that lingers long after the credits roll.
Initially, given the description of the movie, I expected the film to follow the more traditional slasher route to "Friday the 13th." However, it pleasantly surprised me by taking its unique direction. This unpredictability kept the story fresh and engaging, and I loved the film all the more for it.
A couple of reviews I have seen complain about the over-the-top gore, comparing it to something along the lines of "Terrifier." My opinion on this? It is literally a slasher movie. You would be complaining if there wasn't enough gore.
As a slasher, "In A Violent Nature" truly delivers. The kills are extremely violent and outstandingly executed, providing the thrills and gore that fans of the genre crave. It also transcends typical horror tropes by skillfully incorporating people of color and LGBTQ+ characters in a way that feels authentic and not like token inclusions.
Ultimately, "In A Violent Nature" is a film that I had a lot of fun with. It is a beautiful and violent journey that makes it the best horror film I've seen this year. Its unique direction, empathetic character portrayals, and representation make it a must-watch for horror enthusiasts.
