The Canadian slasher film, In a Violent Nature, roared out of the gates with much buzz from The Sundance Film Festival and was bolstered by a menacing trailer. It has a great-looking monster, and a few spectacularly gory kills will make this movie pop and evoke fond old memories. The advance word on this movie was that it reinvented the slasher film. It's different, to be sure. The odd pacing, however, cannot be ignored, and the movie plods along with its villain for far too much of the movie. It felt like a shorter film padded to make a feature-length time. High highs. Low lows.
