Horror fans delight as In A Violent Nature sequel confirmed
- The horror film In a Violent Nature, which premiered at Sundance in January 2024, is set to receive a "meaner" sequel in 2026.
- The original movie gained a cult fanbase for its unique approach to the slasher genre, telling the story from the perspective of the killer, Johnny.
- Despite mixed critical reviews, the Canadian film was noted for its "slow cinema" style, featuring longer takes and no musical score.
- Filmmaker Chris Nash will return to write and direct the sequel, with production scheduled to begin in September.
- Producers aim for the sequel to make Johnny "bigger, meaner, and his kills... more impressive", continuing to experiment within the genre.
