The fun exit The Movie Updates posted on it official X account (formerly Twitter).sharing an audience member’s reaction to a particularly intense scene from the upcoming film In a violent nature during its screening at the Chicago Critics Film Festival. According to the outlet:
You feel like every time you blink, a upcoming horror movie hit it off Film schedule 2024with the promise to make your grocery list cringe. The First Omen he just let us fans check under their beds and allegedly provoked some audience to exorcise their dinner. Now, it’s coming In a violent nature — the difference is that the new slasher moves a lot 95% on Rotten Tomatoes. Judging by the vomit-inducing early previews — er, I mean, critical response — the buzz doesn’t appear to be just hot air. This is the real deal, folks, and you can check it out in the trailer below:
Prepare yourself because In a violent naturee introduces a new flagship horror villain with somewhat understandable motivations: Johnny, a menacing figure who makes Jason Voorhees seem almost tame. Johnny is brought back to life when a group of teenagers grabs a locket from the charred ruins of the fire tower where he met his end. Driven by instincts more like a wild beast than a man, the killer is haunted by a crime that happened more than sixty years ago, a dark story hinted at by the suspenseful trailer.
As Johnny makes his way through the forest, armed with an array of improvised weapons, from traps to axes, the atmosphere thickens. An eerie off-screen voice warns to avoid the forest, suggesting the presence of an “animal” that can easily dispel any trap. At the same time, another voice reveals the chilling details of the White Pine Massacre – the brutal incident that transformed Johnny into the vengeful spirit he is now. This movie is a must-see, and after checking out the critics’ responses, I’m even more looking forward to its debut in theaters, even if it means I’ll play the wet laugh when I finally get to see it.
