In a Violent Nature movie storyline. When a locket is removed from a collapsed fire tower in the woods that entombs the rotting corpse of Johnny, a vengeful spirit spurred on by a horrific 60-year-old crime, his body is resurrected and becomes hellbent on retrieving it. The undead golem hones in on the group of vacationing teens responsible for the theft and proceeds to methodically slaughter them one by one in his mission to get it back — along with anyone in his way.
Filming initially took place in the Kawartha Lakes area of Central Ontario, Canada, in 2021, but Nash later recalled that the locale “just felt like it wasn’t hitting the right note for us”. The film was ultimately shot in Algoma District, Ontario, near Sault Ste. Marie.
In a Violent Nature is a 2024 Canadian slasher film written and directed by Chris Nash. Described as an “ambient slasher”, the film follows a mute killer who targets a group of teenagers in the Ontario wilderness, with the events observed largely from the killer’s perspective.
In a Violent Nature premiered on January 22, 2024, at the Sundance Film Festival, as part of the festival’s “Midnight” program. It was theatrically released in the United States by IFC Films on May 31, 2024, and then on the streaming service Shudder later that year.
