In a Violent Nature

Someone should count how many steps are taken in this movie. Because that's what you're watching half of the time.

This feels like an artistically shot homage to Friday the 13th from the killer's perspective. There are definitely some creative shots & kills in-between the nature walks, although it doesn't justify the 90+ minute runtime.

Makeup and effects were good/great. It's visually compelling throughout.

There is essentially no character development. If anything, the kids mostly come off as unlikable, so there's really no compassion for any of the people getting mindlessly slaughtered.

Worth watching if you're really into slashers & nature documentaries.

Went in not expecting much and that's exactly what I got. Probably 70% of this movie is the same shot repeated over and over again, that shot being us watching the killer from behind walking through the woods at great length with the sound of leaves crunching underfoot.

I'm convinced the storyboard for this movie, on paper, goes something like this: Walk. Kill. Walk. Kill. Walk. Kill. Walk Kill...

Though the walking is about 5 times the length of a kill and save for maybe 2 kills offering a few seconds of goofy fun, the rest are boring.

Other than that the story is incredibly cheesy/lame/unoriginal, the dialogue and acting is entirely subpar, and there's many awkwardly executed scenes. A few long, not convincing, awkward pauses in dialogue or actions, as well as some weird almost confusing sound design at times made it clear pretty early that the story and acting aren't going to be where the movie shines, unfortunately though there was nowhere it shined.

I did my best to not fall asleep while watching but toward the end I really couldn't be bothered to care at all and found myself starting to drift. Can't try and pass off a low budget thriller as unique or original in this case, it's really just a bore.

Ever wonder what the killer in the woods is doing behind the scenes? In a Violent Nature answers that question. And it's a whole lot of walking around the woods.

This movie is a cool concept that sounds interesting on paper, but does not translate to screen. There is a complete lack of tension to the whole film. I think this is partially the way it's shot, but also because most (not all) of the time, we know where the killer is. The lack of music is also a detriment.

The killer is not interesting like a Jason or Freddy. And we don't get a chance to know the victims either because we are too busy watching the killer walk around in the forest. It makes for an experience I had nothing to attach myself to, and no one to root for.

The ADR is extremely distracting, and the performances and dialogue are not good. While I commend the movie for being excessively gory, and using all practical effects, I felt like I was watching aged effects. The dead bodies don't look real, and when thrown around they look very bad. I probably normally wouldn't care about this if I was locked into the movie, but I unfortunately was not.

I appreciate it for trying something new. But sometimes things are done a certain way for a reason. In this case, slashers should follow dumb teenagers, and not the silent killers. They are way more fun to watch.

This movie remembered me to Friday The 13th the videogame. I mean the camera work, the murders and filming locations are pretty close. Probably producers were inspired by Friday the 13th original movie but they've tried to give a new vision. The result is not as good, nor original and the overall product seems too simplistic (even a slasher).

First, the story is inexistent and it's the usual one if you have watched similar slashers.

Second, the overall result is a cheap copy of Friday the 13th (Even 2009 version is better than this one).

Last, the murders are the best here. It doesn't look cheap for a B movie.

So, overall a wasted opportunity with so much potential. I recommend this one only to slashers B-grade fans. Other than that skip. There are other several good classics from the 80's like Nightmare on Elm street, Christine, Halloween or Alien.

Decent concept that just turns out insanely boring. There's really not much you can say about an ogre spending almost the entire movie walking slowly through the woods - you feel like you're playing a video game instead of watching a movie. There's one really good kill, but it doesn't compensate for everything else. There's almost no chance anyone who isn't a fan of slashers will like this, and even if you are it's probably 50/50 which way you'll fall in how you view it.

"Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon" is a much better movie if you want to watch something from the killer's perspective.
