In a Violent Nature

She should have jumped off the hill

2.2 - I wanted to like this so badly. I saw all the hype. It sounded fascinating & unique. But I hated it. It’s boring & monotonous. Pure slashers are my least fave horror so maybe I’m the wrong audience.

The kills were a mixed bag, & the effects took me most of the way out of the good ones. The script & delivery were terrible. The killer’s POV angle did not work w/ such a lack of backstory & empathy. The movie itself felt bored w/ its own premise. And the ending was shockingly weak. A couple points for beautiful locations & incredible sound design though.

The hate for this movie is unwarranted tbh, it is EXACTLY what it sold its self as which was the POV of the killer of a slasher, I swear if it had the A24 card in the intro ya’ll wouldn’t be able to stop praising it

Most of the criticisms is complaining that the killer is walking everywhere which made it boring but like what’d ya’ll think Jason did, just open portals to get around like Doctor Strange?

The acting is “bad” but its not CW bad and it really just adds to the charm of what they were doing which was essentially giving us the POV of someone like Jason Voorhees

The kills are fun and creative as well, I’ve personally never seen one like what that blonde girl got 😭 she shoulda just jumped

I put this movie on to fall asleep from all the people saying how awful and boring it was but in reality its kind of intriguing and kept me awake — if you want to see what an actually boring movie looks like put one of Jane Schoenbrun’s movies on

i thought this movie was absolutely hilarious, all the little side characters and moments that made you want to scream in both hilarity and frustration. kills were absolutely insane and i haven’t seen anything quite like it in my time. 7/10.

Drags on a bit, great new kills and beautiful cinematography. 6.5/10

Someone did my Sunday hike for me.
