In A Violent Nature
Directed by Chris Nash
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.
When a locket is removed from a collapsed fire tower, an undead killer is unleashed in this year's must-see slasher.

A compelling premise served poorly by its execution. The idea of "slow killer pov horror" has a lot of juice. I went in hoping shades of Terrence Malick's work. (Imagine "Bandlands" but as a piece of genre horror! It would work!) Alas, there's something missing from this. The slow tv/killer pov bits are pretty and creative, but they don't add much emotion or feel particularly scary. The acting quality breaks the immersion. Most importantly, there's something off with the pacing. Others mention a slow build, which may be true for some, but I thought it was all slow with no build.
This is exactly what I wanted. A slasher that follows the killer instead of survivors. It's exactly what I expected. Long drawn out walks with some killer practical effect kills. Solid film.
Becomes utterly boring and plodding after the first act, the effects are obvious and have the kills lose their steam before they finish, and the ending is another drag that brings no closure. Waste of time.
boring.
If you like watching someone walk through the woods this is the film for you.
