    So boring it hurt!
    I went into this thinking that the concept was interesting. The premise of seeing the movie from the killer's point of view was interesting. With that said, I can't believe people enjoyed this. 90% of the movie was the killer walking around. There were long scenes of the killer walking through the woods with literally nothing else happening. The other 10% was spent on gratuitous gore. The only thing I can say was good about the movie were the special effects. They definitely didn't spend the budget finding good actors. I've seen better actors in high school productions. I would avoid this movie at all costs. It was literally one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

    Never finds first gear
    This was a secret screening at my local cinema.

    Now horror isnt normally my go-to, and this would be one of those I wouldn't probably bother with, in fact if it was streaming only, it would be ignored.

    For a horror film it lacked horror, tension and suspense. Character development, never heard of it, in fact it's only been under an hour since the film ended and I couldn't tell you a single character's name.

    Sorry to say this was 94 minutes of utter boredom, how it's rated 18 is beyond me, better and scary effects in many 15 films, its maybe because 30+ minutes of the film seemed to be someone following someone around the forest, with the same lousy effect to try and say time had passed.

    Not what I hoped for
    Had read some reviews on this so was really happy when it was out secret screening tonight . Started off quite slow and lots of forest shots and walking . Then a few kills in and more forest shots and more walking . More killings slowly getting more gory and yes more forest shots and walking . During the films lots of people walked out, some after a killing and some after more forest shots and walking. This is a short film and if they took out all the forest and walking would maybe be one hour long. I'm disappointed . I love horror and love gore but this was poor acting, poor storyline and too much forest shots and walking.

    Promising Style but Lazy Execution
    The slow, thoughtful shots gave the impression that the film would follow a more realistic approach to a slasher. Yet, each kill was genuinely underwhelming, either due to the complete lack of reactions from the victim; who couldn't have played any dumber (barely reacting to pain in many scenes) or the cheap practical effects (like distractingly bad).

    There's a part where the final girl is clearly seen running in place...

    The ending features an extremely long-winded exposition (nearly 10mins of a seemingly unrelated story where the woman says 'Bobby' about 43xs) that nearly had me walking out before the credits.

    Overall, I will not be watching anything else from this director - a genuine waste of time. There is 1 interesting kill and the location was a perfect choice... everything else needed a punch up.

    a really good foundation for sequels
    In a Violent Nature is a pun in the most fantastic way. We hear the sounds nature during long scenes of our lead character, that's right, the killer, walking in the woods. No one can talk about this movie without bringing this up. It's not completely original, but it does make itself stand out enough to get a theatrical release, and thankfully so. The more you can stay away from outside distractions, the more likely you'll be able to pay attention to the movie.

    I loved the mental involvement that you create while watching this. There's a fun suspense, not which characters will survive the killer, but the methodology of how the killer moves about and when he ultimately decides to go for a kill. Some will say the "gimmick" of the pov shots were overdone, but I appreciate that it stuck with it's method through the entire run time. It's like if The Blair Witch Project would've given up it's gimmick and changed to a more regular film halfway through. I will say that fans of 70's exploitation and 80's slashers will find this movie satisfying on both levels just as long as you have a good internal dialogue to talk your mind through all the scenes of the killer walking. You're in the mind of the killer, and each scene of him walking allows you to think something different about the characters and plot.

    There's some moments of stand out gore effects, but uncovering who backstory of the killer piece by piece is what helps this earn its rating. I could see how sequels could improve upon the shortcomings of this one. It does have some pacing issues and could've gotten a bit more schlocky. Overall, this was fun in the theatre and smartly stuck to it's style! The movie knows that most people won't like it, but it caters very well to the audience it shoots for.
