This channel is gold. Pure gold. Been subscribed for years. I watch every video. Quality analysis, editing, narration. You remind me all the time how much I love cinema. And make me truly believe in the future of movies.
Your writing here is the most peak IN/FRAME/OUT I've ever heard. The wild thing is - I can't even remember you saying "it's good" - till the end and even then you give a negative aspect too. But it's clear from the way you describe it so eloquently how much you admire it.
I am just glad we are at a point where I got to see an experimental art slasher at my local AMC. I don’t think the film is entirely successful but lots of it did work. Best gore ASMR i have seen.
Not much to say beyond the facts that this is a typically great video which articulates my feelings about the subject far better than I ever could, and that I loved this movie and am very happy to see it covered and championed here. Great work as always!
_In a Violent Nature_ would make a good companion piece to Michael Haneke's _Funny Games_ (either version). It is almost the definition of a "postmodern deconstruction" - to use the overused-to-the-point-trivial phrase. As for my favorite slasher, it's the OG - Hitchcock's _Psycho._ _Halloween_ is a close second. But I'm an old guy, so there's that.
What a liked the most of this movie is that Johnny is actually smart for a killer, he doesnt fall to the Classic plan that always happens in the clímax of this movies. Besides that, Johnny only wanted his watch, nothing more, nothing less, soo if the teens had give it back to him they would have survived.
I thoroughly enjoyed this film and what it does with traditional slasher tropes. I also reckon that Johnny is sort of the guardian of the woods protecting his home, not only was he after his mothers trinkets. I'm unsure how this will go in sequels-ville, as a stand alone piece I reckon it would've found it's audience over time. Great video btw, really enjoyed it!
I really enjoyed this movie. I can see how some people see it as slow or whatever, but I loved it. It's basically arthouse Friday the 13th, and I am here for it. I kinda want to write an arthouse Nightmare on Elm Street just to see what that would look like.
In a Violent Nature (like Freaky, The Final Girls, and Totally Killer) is another entry in the recent trend of “We really want to make another Friday the 13th movie, but the rights are a mess”
Hey it’s the 4th best Friday the 13th movie. Very interesting movie, I’m pretty excited for sequel, because I don’t know what they will do with it. I thought the movie was okay but interesting.
Always enjoy your analyses, and I really want to see the film you're describing (which is the film the trailer suggested). And for the first 30 minutes it was exactly that, and I was completely engaged. But from the first on-screen kill, it lost me. The slowness and elegiac cinematography grounded it in reality; the shonky practical effects, which prompted guffaws from the audience in the screening I saw, immediately bounced me out of the world. Just me perhaps (I'm not much of a slasher aficionado) but the first kill and the lake fit in exactly with the atmosphere the relentless, unstoppable, uncomfortably realistic plod of the film had been setting up. The others jerked me out of the moment, like a comedy moment in Schindler's List. A family urgency took me and my partner out of the film with about 20 minutes still to run, but with absolutely no regrets on either part.
I just watched this movie..... it had its moments, just really took a minute, then, it was over... I do t hate it, but just indifferent toward it. It's pretty to look at
It's not for everyone - there's almost no dialogue, no music and lots of a silent man walking in the woods - but if you can get on that deliberate, lurching wavelength you might find something to enjoy!
Oh I totally get the chalk and cheese response to it, and this is all just my dork opinion! Any horror movies you've seen from 2024 I should check out? I've only seen a few so far this year, but am always on the look out for spooky gory gold
@@inframeout Honestly, I haven't seen many that I would hype up but Stopmotion was good fun and I'll take any chance to suggest Coherence, a scifi/horror/creepy tale that doesn't get enough love.
@MoxieMcMurder @inframeout If I may interject, I highly recommend You'll Never Find Me. It's another ambient slow-burn and is my favourite of the year so far.
"Peripheral and spacial awareness" was a great statement as i always think these crazed mask wearing maniacs must have such a major reduced level of just that yet they are always apparently in acute tune with the surroundings and objective then the oblivious bad decision making victim to be - great effort by u !
I got about a third of the way through the film until a particularly brutal kill scene which made my stomach turn.. It was just brutality-porn… de-humanising. Not for me.
The true horror of your videos is when you use clips from The Simpsons in its prime. Cause it makes me dwell on the utter arse water its become. This flick looks interesting btw.
I/F/O, You've gone the long way around the abandoned barn to point out that this film lacks plot, characterization, motivation, character arcs, conflict, interesting action sequences, suspense, or even witty banter. In short, the film is terrible in every way. The mystery is, how do you not see that? Yes, yes, Johnny is a personification of Indifferent Death. So is Jason Vorhees. So is Hannibal Lecter. In fact, the Romantic poets dealt with this theme quite a bit. Indifferent Death is not the least bit novel or interesting, not even when you do the entire film in reverse shot.
I mean...all opinion is subjective friend. I like it and wanted to make a video about it. I don't know what else to say other than it's fine that you didn't and your opinion is as valid as anyone else's. Sorry if me making this video annoyed you for some reason
You're literally saying "this film is bad because it isn't like most other films" and "formula = good, not following formula = not good" and worst of all "my lack of imagination is your problem"
@@satyasyasatyasya5746 No, not at all. I am saying that the film is bad because it fails to utilize any of the elements and techniques that make a film good. For example, imagination. This film does absolutely nothing that Friday the 13th didn't do forty-five years ago, except turn the camera around. So now, instead of at least having the campers to watch as they related to one another (which was hardly riveting in the original Friday the 13th), we get to watch the back of Johnnie's head for long intervals. What's Johnnie going to do next? Disassemble another camper! What a twist! Yes, the film is an extended metaphor for the relentlessness of Indifferent Death. So is Friday the 13th. So is Halloween. A clunky, boring, dull and unoriginal metaphor. Here is a better version of that metaphor I just thought up in thirty seconds: a family epic where three generations of women die of breast cancer, each falling victim to an inherited vulnerability. That's how easy it is to write a better film than this one.
I'm going to politely ask for some de-escalation here, because this response to someone you don't know liking a film you don't like isn't constructive or respectful. Films make folks passionate - I get it - and your points are valid. I'm just asking if we can't voice those opinions without it becoming crass and unnecessarily hostile.

Wow, that's so incredibly lovely of you to say! Thank you for reaching out and making me smile on this otherwise very grey Scottish afternoon
Johnny destroying campers in 'In a Violent Nature' like Rooney Mara destroying a pie in 'A Ghost Story'
Rooney Mara jump scared that pie

Did you not listen to The Other Stories from people that survived his encounters randomly??
I love slashers that let you see things from the other perspective. Leslie Vernon & You Might Be The Killer both do it in really fun & humorous ways
I thoroughly enjoyed this film and what it does with traditional slasher tropes. I also reckon that Johnny is sort of the guardian of the woods protecting his home, not only was he after his mothers trinkets.

Great video btw, really enjoyed it!
In an age that is completely dominated by instant virtual gratification - this film took a massive risk with its slow pace.
I loved it.
Gotta say, I love A Ghost Story, and Im glad someone else is talking about it, if even for a minute.
The distraction guy...what was he thinking?! Lol. Not that close!
Maybe the hardest I've laughed at a film all year. Straight up reminded me of something from "Hatchet"

It’s funny that they haven’t remade Madman or The Burning considering the demand for both remakes and Friday the 13th movies (or rip offs)
You're a great writer man.
You're very kind
@@inframeout (It also helps that you're a fellow Scot)
your passion and knowledge of film is always a joy to observe in action

Kudos on the Nada Surf reference!!!!
I gotta go check this movie out! Thanks for the tip

I've never heard of this movie, but after this video, I might check it out. Looks interesting.
It's not for everyone - there's almost no dialogue, no music and lots of a silent man walking in the woods - but if you can get on that deliberate, lurching wavelength you might find something to enjoy!
I just want someone to upload a video of all the walking scenes in this movie on UA-cam
This is a good movie to wind down with, not something you should be hyped over
It’s rewarding in the right headspace
In A Violent Nature did very little for me but I appreciate your take on it.

@@SteveBlais5791 Ah yes, I forgot about that one!
Who is the woman who picks up the survivor at the end of the film. Do a video on the movie The Iron Claw.
It sucks this had no distribution whatsoever here in Mexico
That's a darn shame. If you have Shudder, apparently it's coming there soon
@@inframeout I'll be on the look out!
Watched this just last night, it was alright 👍
Glad you got something out of it! That cliff side kill tho 🤮
Just watched this movie
What did you think?
@@inframeout was pretty decent I think you hit all the points I noticed, was telling my son the camera is very much third person game

The greatest monster of all time is Armin Tamzarian
@@inframeout That episode is a marker, though still amusing. It was a few more seasons before the sludgification was complete.
Yeah, very good video, but the film was shit.
