Director: Chris Nash
Deep in the Canadian woods, a decades-old grudge refuses to stay buried in "In a Violent Nature," the 2024 horror-thriller from writer-director Chris Nash.
What is In a Violent Nature about?
The story opens with a locket taken from the wreckage of a collapsed fire tower, an object that unknowingly holds a corpse in place for sixty years. Once it's removed, the body it belonged to stirs back to life, driven by a violent history that never resolved. What follows is a slow, patient pursuit through the forest as the reanimated figure tracks down whoever took the locket, drawing a group of campers into a nightmare rooted in a crime committed generations earlier. The film leans into its woodland setting, using long takes and an unhurried pace to build a sense of inevitability rather than relying on constant jump scares. Nash's approach favors atmosphere and dread over spectacle, letting the forest itself feel complicit in the unfolding violence.
Cast & crew
Ry Barrett leads the cast in the central role, joined by Andrea Pavlovic, Cameron Love, Reece Presley, Liam Leone, Charlotte Creaghan, Lea Rose Sebastianis, and Sam Roulston as the group caught up in the pursuit.
