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.
