In A Violent Nature

description

This Sundance-selected ambient slasher from Canadian filmmaker Chris Nash (Z IS FOR ZYGOTE) methodically depicts the enigmatic resurrection, rampage, and retribution of an undead monster in the remote wilderness.

When a locket is removed from a collapsed fire tower in the woods that entombs the rotting corpse of Johnny, a vengeful spirit who was the victim of a horrific 60-year-old crime, his body is resurrected, and he's hell-bent on retrieving what's his. The undead golem hones in on the group of vacationing teens responsible for the theft, and in his mission to get the locket back proceeds to methodically slaughter them one by one, along with anyone in his way. One of the few slasher films to be shot from the killer's POV, IN A VIOLENT NATURE is a modern Canadian horror classic in the making.

DIRECTOR'S BIO
Chris Nash is a writer, director, and prosthetics effects artist from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. His journey into filmmaking was influenced by a steady diet of 7/7/7 video rentals (seven movies, seven days, seven dollars – excluding new releases) and incredibly curated and unedited late-night movies airing Monday to Saturday on CBC television at 1:00am. His short films and music videos have screened internationally, and in 2014 his short Z IS FOR ZYGOTE was selected to close off the horror anthology, THE ABCS OF DEATH 2. IN A VIOLENT NATURE is his first feature film.
