A teaser trailer has been released for an upcoming horror movie that promises to be deeply unsettling.
The market is flooded with horror movies these days, featuring everything from a homicidal Winnie the Pooh to sinister animatronic bears, but many of them fail to truly impress despite their financial success.
However, there’s one upcoming horror film that aims to shake things up with its premise and unique perspective.
But be warned, this film isn’t for the faint of heart, and even seasoned horror fans might find it challenging.
The movie, titled “In a Violent Nature,” made its debut at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival and is scheduled for release later this year on the streaming platform Shudder (which you might not have heard of either).
Shudder is a subscription-based video service in the U.S. that specializes in horror, thriller, and supernatural fiction content.
What sets “In a Violent Nature” apart is its decision to tell the story from the perspective of the killer rather than the victims.
The recently released trailer, posted on the Rotten Tomatoes Trailers YouTube channel on January 30th, is subtle but effectively disturbing. Proceed with caution if you decide to watch it:
The trailer begins with tranquil scenes of a pier and a lake, accompanied by quotes from reviews. However, the serenity is shattered when a lifeless body surfaces in the lake, followed by a quick cut to black. The trailer then depicts a figure handling a chain and hook, interspersed with more reviews praising the film.
Many social media users are intrigued by the concept and curious to see how director and writer Chris Nash executes it.
One user expressed enthusiasm for the departure from typical horror tropes: “It’s refreshing to see a slow-paced horror film that focuses on the killer’s perspective rather than the usual teenagers. I’m intrigued.”
Others who attended Sundance shared their excitement: “I saw it at Sundance, and the audience was captivated by the intense kills. I can’t wait to see it again.”
Opinions vary on whether the film will be a success or a disappointment: “This could either become a modern horror classic or flop entirely.”
Some viewers praised the realism and brutality of the kill scenes: “I had the privilege of seeing this early. The kills are incredibly realistic, making it the most violent film I’ve ever seen. Nash is a mastermind; this film won’t let you down.”
Overall, the reception seems positive, with one horror enthusiast concluding, “The reviews are promising. While it’s not reinventing the genre, it offers a solid slasher experience with impressive gore effects. That’s good enough for me.”
