In A Violent Nature (Chris Nash, 2024) • Page 4

Also thought a lot about Mickey Rouke in The Wrestler. Was the one movie I could think of that used those lumbering third person shots like this.

I also thought the Malick stuff was in reference to style….i found it to be more thematically. Man and nature etc. Other than taking place in the woods I don’t think I would have thought of Malick as a direct influence on the way this looks.

 

Liked this a lot, and honestly wouldn’t have minded if it were even a little slower, like there were a couple pretty small cuts in some of the walking sequences that I think they could have just let play out.

otherwise the kills were gnarly and I loved the way they doled out bits of lore.

The only other people in the showing left for a while like halfway through (missing the fatality kill) and then came back and fucked around and talked the rest of the time. Safe to say they weren’t digging it

 

Movie starts soon and it’s just us, another couple and an older lady who I wouldn’t have guessed to be a horror fan.


This is gonna rule

 

What a great film and THAT kill was not what I expected but loved it either way!

 

Me during the yoga kill

 

I think my wife is a little concerned with how much I loved that scene.

 

I want the OST to have a track dedicated to the sound effects from that kill

 

Or a track of 57 wet whacks to bloody neck stump.

 

The track name absolutely has to be 57 Wet Whacks

 

Sounds like me in the shower last night, amirite?

 

Yes, loved when he was just listening to them talk and it was so bad.

 

Yeah…I mean that kill was insane lmao.

 

Finally caught this. Honestly didn’t find it to be even half as slow as I thought it’d be based on what I’ve heard. Like most slashers, once it sets the stage in the first act it pretty much takes off

 

I won't lie, my coworkers were kinda yapping through the final monologue and I don't think I really understood the connection. Anyone care to entertain me?

 

The driver told a story of someone(can’t remember the name)saw a bunch of animal carcasses that weren’t eaten but torn to shreds. He’s then attack by a “bear” and left for dead. She then talks about a disease where you basically kill to kill(I think)

 

If I fucked that up, y’all feel free to correct me.

 

I’m guessing a misdirect was the point, but I really thought her monologue was setting up Johnny to hunt down Kris regardless of the fact that he got the necklace back, simply because some animals just kill to kill

 

Her rescuer is unwittingly drawing the connection between man and beast and the thin line between them. Hence the title of the film, a double entendre of sorts, “…Violent Nature”.

 

Thanks all, that makes sense.

 

Digital on 6/28

 

so close

 

thank you for the reminder btw

 

Really liked this. Tough break for a fellow Troy though.

 

Gonna have to watch this bad boy tonight

 

Lmfao pretty sure I just got to that kill
