In a Violent Nature (2024)

This movie was based on a simple idea. What if an undead slasher was told through the perspective of the villain? So that's our movie. We follow some wronged "slow" person who revives when his bling is taken from his grave site. So, he pulls himself out of hell or wherever and goes on a search for his good luck charm.

The curiosity keeps it interesting for a while. I like seeing what he does and where he goes and how he kills. I had read reviews calling it shallow, but it is what it is. A halfwit brute walking through a series of victims.

It doesn't need to be any deeper than that, and I think it works very well as a Jason clone, and the side characters don't matter. They never matter, because they'll get pwned either way. One girl had one of the most wacky & fucked kills I've ever seen. The girl at the cliff.

What I didn't like was the ending. Or lack thereof. We're all waiting for something on that long road... and nothing happens. I guess Johnny Voorhees doesn't teleport. The climax was hidden in there somewhere, I guess. Then again, that whole epilogue might make it brilliant.

Someone had to make a movie based on that simple aforementioned idea, and it was actually pretty great. A little boring at times, but that keeps it real.

Also, his mask was kinda dumb. He should have kept his peripherals open and skipped the mask, but he is retarded, after all. Retarded killers are my favorite kind of retard.
