In A Violent Nature — because apparently we needed more movies where the killer is the protagonist and not, you know, the thing we’re supposed to be scared of.
Johnny’s back, baby, and he’s more undead than ever! Fresh off his first killing spree, he’s decided to grace a summer camp with his presence, probably because he heard the buffet was to die for. Meanwhile, an outcast camper gets roped into spending the night with his counselor sister and her crew at their annual end-of-season party. Nothing says “fun” like a bunch of hormonal teens and a walking corpse with anger issues.
Ry Barrett returns as Johnny, the undead serial killer who clearly didn’t get enough screen time in the first film. He’s joined by Lucas Nguyen, Olivia Scriven, Laurie Babin, Fionn Laird, Donald MacLean Jr., and Evan Marsh. We’re not sure what their characters’ names are, but we’re pretty sure they’re all just there to be creatively dismembered.
Thanks to IGN for the trailer, which we assume is just two minutes of Johnny slowly walking through the woods while ominous music plays. Because nothing says “thrilling” like watching someone take a leisurely stroll.
The film is directed by Nathaniel Wilson, who we’re guessing has never met a slasher trope he didn’t like. It’s written by Chris Nash, who also serves as a producer. We’re not sure if that means he wrote the script and then thought, “You know what this needs? More of me!”
So grab your popcorn, your favorite camp counselor, and your least favorite campers, because In A Violent Nature is coming to a theater near you. Just don’t forget to bring a change of clothes — you never know when you might need to outrun a serial killer.
Finn McFrame, celebrated satirical mastermind and self-proclaimed “Emperor of Irony,” started his illustrious career as a cinematographer, where his expertise in capturing every single frame of a squirrel stealing a baguette earned him accolades at obscure film festivals.
Born in the glamorous town of Boring, Oregon, Finn grew up with dreams of being a Hollywood director until he realized that satire, not cinema, was his true calling—or at least the one that let him sleep until noon.
