In a Violent Nature | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Stephen Romei The Australian It is so ruthlessly, mercilessly, casually, relentlessly, violent that it will deter lots of viewers, which is understandable but unfortunate for the director because I think he is making a point about the slasher movie genre. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 14, 2024 Full Review In a Violent Nature | Rotten Tomatoes (2) John Nugent Empire Magazine It is beautifully shot and deeply considered. But it’s an approach that won’t work for everyone. Rated: 3/5 Jul 15, 2024 Full Review In a Violent Nature | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Kevin Maher Times (UK) The hook, this time, is that debut feature director Chris Nash uses some formal arthouse devices to reframe the horror movie antics we’ve repeatedly witnessed... Rated: 1/5 Jul 12, 2024 Full Review In a Violent Nature | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Lalo Ortega Cine Premiere Form without substance is pure gimmickry, and while Nash plants some ideas about the unflinching amorality of nature, he fails to dig deep enough to make them germinate. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Oct 15, 2024 Full Review In a Violent Nature | Rotten Tomatoes (5) John Serba Decider Sickos, take heed: In a Violent Nature is some fairly innovative wickedness. It defies enough of the conventional rules of the genre, it might be the final nail in the slasher-movie coffin. Sep 14, 2024 Full Review In a Violent Nature | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Sebastian Zavala Kahn Me gusta el cine It's not a traditional slasher, but a film that turns the WAY the genre has been treated on its head, changing quick cuts and talkative characters for a mute killer, victims we learn very little of, and a calm directing style.

Marq Great scenery and amazing creative kills…but there is long travel time between each kill Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review Ketti A refreshing take on horror. Very campy with the effects. Loved the idea of seeing horror from the villains perspective. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/31/24 Full Review David J Walked out of the film in first 30minMovie is TrashI wish I could leave ZERO STARS Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/14/24 Full Review Jon This slasher has some of the best scenery and kills I’ve ever seen in a horror film, but lacks heavily in both the storyline and acting. Still a great slasher Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/03/24 Full Review Geramie S With a little editing and few changes in dialogue, this could have easily been Friday the 13th part 15 or whatever. It was enjoyable though. Seemed to rub just a little longer than it needed to and the start was also just a little too slow. The kills were fantastic and really inventive however. I would recommend to any fan of the slasher genre. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/15/24 Full Review Aaron Bacchus The premise is absolutely gold. First person POV is something unique in this genre and was executed well. Slow at times with little dialog but hits when it needs to. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
