Here’s Johnny! A seriously nasty new horror icon is born in Chris Nash’s acclaimed IN A VIOLENT NATURE, out now on Altitude.film and other digital platforms and coming to DVD & Blu-ray from 30 September.

IN A VIOLENT NATURE, the ground-breaking and gruesome debut feature from writer and director Chris Nash (ABCs OF DEATH 2) introduced the masked and murderous Johnny, who’ll stop at nothing to retrieve a precious locket, to terrified UK audiences during its theatrical release in July.

With IN A VIOLENT NATURE Nash has fashioned something truly extraordinary - a film that manages to be brilliantly original while at the same time paying homage to ‘80s horror classics like the Friday the 13th series and Evil Dead, as a group of young campers are mercilessly stalked in the woods. Told from the point of view of the killer, it features some astoundingly orchestrated and intensely gory kills that have to be seen to be believed. The next chapter in Johnny’s murderous spree has already been confirmed as news of a sequel broke at this year’s Comic Con!

Beautifully shot in the Canadian wilderness, with a nerve-wrackingly eerie score, IN A VIOLENT NATURE is the shocker to see in 2024. Devilishly entertaining, excruciatingly tense, brutally shocking and daringly different, it stands out from other modern horror films like an axe in a cutlery drawer.

SYNOPSIS: When a locket is removed from a collapsed fire tower in the woods that entombs the rotting corpse of Johnny, a vengeful spirit spurred on by a horrific 60-year old crime, his body is resurrected and becomes hellbent on retrieving it. The undead golem hones in on the group of vacationing teens responsible for the theft and proceeds to methodically slaughter them one by one in his mission to get it back - along with anyone in his way.

IN A VIOLENT NATURE IS OUT NOW ON DIGITAL AND AVAILABLE ON DVD & BLU-RAY FROM 30 SEPTEMBER
