The new Scorcese !!! - In a Violent Nature review by SL

Like no slasher movie youve ever seen. Yes! Let this be the only movie like this coz it is dire.the director thinks if he holds the shot for ages his film will be the next Goodfellas , that scene in the bar done in one shot was all in one shot AND visually captivating ,In this movie the shots are dull dull dull and held way too long then the director puts the cocked hat on it in a camp fire scene shot carousel style that goes round and round and bloody round .At which point wed had enough and turned it off.Unfortunately our other movie turned out to be Sasquatch Sunset which went off after the scene where bigfoot uses a tortoise as a mobile phone and its meant to be funny !! Dire.

An Ambitious Failure. - In a Violent Nature review by sw

'In a Violent Nature' is in the end an ambitious failure.

While I admire the film makers attempt to deconstruct the slasher genre the finished result is somewhat of a disappointment. The decision to follow the 'action' from the point of view of the killer (an amalgam of the likes of Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers) is a bold but undermining one.

The viewer ends up looking at the back of the killers head while he ambles through the woods, for what seems like eternity, looking to off some teens for unwittingly releasing him from his slumber. While at least some of the resulting slaughter is inventively gruesome, because of the overall format, you are in no way invested in the victims, rendering the entire venture pretty much pointless.

Still, some credit must be given for trying to refresh a somewhat stale sub-genre. 6/10.
