When the dude “ distracted” the killer I literally counted every strike the killer made while hitting the dude with the axe….i counted 85 strikes LMFAO

I loved the part when they were hiding and going over the plan to trap him and he hears everything 😂😂

The woman at the end is actually the actress that played Vickie in Friday the 13th Part 2

The wood splitter scene was like a combo of the Bone Tomahawk death scene and Wolf Creek’s head on a stick scene. So frightening that both victims were well aware of their demise 😫

Im surprised by how many people didn't like and didn't understand the ending. That ending was what elevated this to one of my favorite horror movies.

The ranger couldn’t move in the log splitter scene because when he was laying on the floor with his back turned and Johnny kind of crunches his spine and that’s when he screamed basically paralyzed him from the head down

Any Wolf Creek fan might see the connection to the wood splitter scene to “head on a stick.” The guy was paralyzed and could do nothing as his body was dismembered while we all watched in horror 😱

Could you imagine being paralyzed knowing a metal object is coming toward you. I’m sure the Ranger was just waiting for life to end. At the point of beheading, Johnny was just having fun with the body. 😂

Mom: We have Jason at home

Kills: some of the best ever, acting: some of the worst ever

I actually appreciate the ending! It's the one part of the film that completely strays from the "generic" slasher. In all other slashers there's a huge final jump scare / final showdown, but the final girl here just decides to not even try her luck after seeing Colt hacked to death. She realizes there's NO chance she can defeat Johnny and just... bails. Her venture through the woods then absolutely psychology breaks her. She thinks Johnny is after her even though Johnny lost interest. That final homage to Halloween is akin to what they tried to establish in Halloween Kills being that Michael didnt care about Laurie at all.... just wanted to kill. Johnny just wanted his locket and to kill.

Sounds like a perfect ASMR horror movie to fall asleep too. Seriously

I pretty much agree with just about everything you said in your review. The kills , effects, sounds, scenery were all on point . On the kills where you see the victims face clearly , I kept watching the eyes, to see when they switched to a dummy or something, and I never caught any switch outs ,and the scenes didn't cut either, so I was impressed with the kills. I didn't care for ANY of the campers , lol. The numerous " crunch", "crunch " , " crunch " scenes walking through the entire movie got to be a bit much. But the last 15 minutes of the movie really brought my rating down . I've watched an interview with the truck driver / Friday part 2 , actress, where she said she did a take where she emphasized words during her first take, but afterwards the director told her not to do that , so her entire story time hour was said monotone. I do think the movie is definitely worth watching for yourself, it does have great qualities to it. But it also has a lot of down time. I believe "Johnny" last name is Voorhees in this movie . He HAS to be Jason's cousin , lol.

The girl driving the car at the end is Vicky from Friday The 13th part 2. Pretty cool she makes a cameo. But yeah the ending coulda showed us more then nothing at all lol.

When the red truck pulled up at the end I thought it was going to be his mom or someone he knew because the way the killer was playing with the red truck earlier in the film seemed like it reminded him of something. Maybe it’s just cause it was like a toy he had Idk I thought it could have been a good ending. Maybe that’s too much like Mrs. Voorhess from part one

I got major Jason vibes from Johnny. The kills were awesome, but the acting and story could've been better. For a slasher, I had higher expectations, but it was still ok.

Maybe the reason the killer is big is because the spirit of Johnny is just posessing the dead body of a lumberjack

Great review! I loved how different this movie felt while also feeling very nostalgic. 8/10 for me - can’t wait to see what they do next with this

The end scene was anxiety inducing because the girl was walking away, and was rescued by someone coming back the opposite way. All that progress she made walking away from the killer was undone on the car ride. I was going crazy - I would never have allowed that. Go back! But no, both of them are being stupid and going right back toward the killer. When they stop it's a serious anxiety attack, and then they cut and that's the end and you don't know if they really made it or not.

This has to be my favorite review from you! I can’t wait to own this on physical media . I hope we get a Mediabook or steelbook or a slipcover with fresh art!

Just found out that the lady in the truck was Vickie from Friday the 13th part 2

One thing I feel everyone missed was how in tune Johny is with the forest and his senses. He has like super hearing about everything it was fantastic. Then the ending when it was focused on the girl….it sounded like a normal movie, confusing forest type thing. Thought that was amazing

Poor Johnny was so happy playing with the toy car. Sweet scene.

Great review, Mike 🤗

0:43 Don't threaten me with a good time! 😅

I. Loved. This. Movie!! I saw your no spoiler video on it and it made me seek out where it was playing. But YOU LIED! 😅You said there was a kill during the camp fire selfie part. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for a gnarly mass kill. Dammit dude you got me. You got me 😂

The only time I was bored was the last 15 minutes in the truck (you'll know it when you see it), everything up to that I thought was fantastic and so well done, plus the cinematography and sound design did lull me into a state of calm despite nothing happening. The shot in the flowers with the sunset is ICONIC. I'm a huge fan of Gus Van Sant's Elephant (and Gerry, Last Days which adopt the same style similar to this one ) and it felt like if GVS directed friday the 13th. I agree that it reminded me of playing a video game, i love horror games, and this would make for a great one, all the victims felt like NPCs including the dialogue etc. I was ready to give it a 4/4.5 out of 5 until it shifts to another character, and again, that damn truck scene, which with a few tweaks could have worked, but ultimately it's just dull. 3.5/5 for me. But the kills were some of the best ever, especially yoga.

At least they did something new you know

I want someone to make a video of that final kill and then include that kid from The Simpsons who says "Stop! He's already dead!" Spot on with your thoughts on the ending. I have seen some people who like it but just did not work for me at all. But the stuff before was pretty damn cool even with all the walking. May consider a rewatch some time.

When he paralyzed that guy and he had to watch himself getting effed up. Sheeeesh

What I learned watching this video: It's important to have a firm grip on the shaft.

Yeah just finish to watch, kills are very cool, the atmosfere in the woods and the shots with the thing that happens in the background and the walks are really cool Just a few scene felt too long like when they were with the faló or at the end in the car; rest was really cool for me🔥

I think that the prequel idea is great. They said the spirit of the kid came back. I think he possessed one of the giant lumberjacks and killed everybody and that’s the walking corpse we see in this movie.

I just watched this movie a couple of nights ago. I dug it, but it was a little on the slow side. I thought the yoga kill was cool but personally, I thought it was overrated. Everything I kept saying with the yoga, the yoga, the yoga kill. I personally thought the log splitter killed was cooler

I loved the ending personally. We've had so many horror films filled with cheap jumpscares that totally destroy any tension. This film has pretty much no music. No creepy tune to build up anticipation for a jumpscare. It leaves you completely clueless as to what they're gonna do. There are no jump scares for the entirety of the film, yet the ending is perfectly setting up for a big one. Yet again no music, just building dread, and anticipation for the scare we all expect. Except there isn't one. It leaves you feeling uncomfortable and confused. You don't get the satisfying loud soundeffect to cap off the emotions you're going through. The same creepy feeling just dwelles with you as the credits roll.

Caught this one earlier tonight and came away liking it quite a bit. The extended walking / stalking shots didn't grate on my nerves if only because the whole movie seems like a response to the question: How the fuck does Jason always catch dopes when he's just walking all the time? Haven't quite decided how I feel about the ending just yet. For a movie that, structure aside, featured the most generic maniac in the woods plot ever, choosing to forgo the final confrontation / jump scare / sequel tease felt like a really weird place to subvert expectations. Would definitely be down for a prequel or a sequel, and very much agree with Mike's assessment that we'll need some much stronger Final Girls / Loomis figures to fuel future installments. Excellent work as always, good sir!

I liked the visual and practical effects. His look reminded me of Jason and brightburn.

I like the way looks without mask. But I wonder in sequel if the mask changes.

In 2 minds whether or not to see the physical media release of this 🤔🐾💜👍

My only question is has every time he went on a rampage in the past was that because someone took his locket? Does he just get up and kill sometimes but if you take the locket you are REALLY screwed?

I hated the ending at first (not saying I love it now or anything), but i hate it a little less now that I could sit on it for a bit and think. I think they were trying to show just how much this new found trauma has latched onto her, constantly living in fear not knowing if he's still out there or not. Like in the scene where she's running in the woods and you can still hear the chop chop chop of Johnny's axe in that dudes head, even though she's faaaar from Johnny now. It's like she's hearing it everywhere she goes, like she's haunted by what happened, and she's far from really being "right as rain" ... Still hate how long they dragged it out, I don't care about that woman, her story, or that bear.

I think the guy he just kept axing was the one who stole the pendant that’s why he was so pissed at him.

The log cut scene was the “Terrifier” esque scene not the yoga kill. The realism in the sawing the person is the most disturbing and realistic shit I’ve ever seen. This movie in particular felt like a snuff film at that part. Easily my favorite Kill in some time. Extremely disturbing shit!

After watching it, I didn’t like the ending, but while it was happening, I was for sure on the edge of my seat waiting for something to happen. Also it was cool to have the same actress from F13 pt 2 in this! 🎉

"A Walk in Nature" 😂 in theaters now!

This worth it for us, the Friday the 13th fans? Some say yes. Others. NO

The ending was smart. It got completely rid of the killer pov and switches to a more traditional horror aspect, so that means Jump scares are coming? WR0NG. It just makes you think a final jumpscare cliche is coming...like the Carrie, and friday the 13th 1980 Jump scare endings...and since this movie had ZER0 jump scares... the ending makes you wait and wait for that one big jump scare, but you NEVER get that one jump scare...it's smart. I was ready to jump HllGH at the end of the movie when they pulled the car over. Bravo! It felt slow in some parts and boring, but overall we got a GREAT slasher film for the summer

The worst part was when the KiIIer drags that unconscious cop dude around to the shed and puts his arm and head lnto the wood machine...i timed it, it literally spends 5 minutes of the kiIIer dragging the guy around, prepping him up, and putting his arm and head into the machine...it was loud and put me to sleep during that scene. Worst part lol

as someone who has never seen friday the 13th (i plan on it don't crucify me), after reading these comments i'm glad i hadn't seen it before this. yes i know that it heavily inspired this movie but i don't think i would've like the movie as much if i had. i can now go back and watch friday the 13th and have a great viewing experience and see where this movie takes the inspiration from

Naw, what makes this film different and cool is that it is not edited for the low-attention span phone-gazers. The long takes and sound design are supposed to make you feel uncomfortable. It is literally about being stalked slowly and methodically by a predator through the wilderness hence the "violent nature" pun in the title. It is also why we are not given victims to empathize with or detest - that NPC vibe is totally intentional because they are simply prey that wandered into hunting grounds and awoke the wrong hibernating animal. Did you totally miss the F13.II lady's bear speech at the end?

I thought the movie was super interesting. Focusing solely on the killer makes some scenes seam unrealistic like someone chucking the keys into the woods out of anger, but I mean that is literally something some dumb ass character would do in a lot of 80s slashers. I think it played off the meta a lot and just put it in the killers perspective and a lot of those little nuances got undermined. Also the log splitter scene he’s not just calm he’s paralyzed because he broke his spine so he couldn’t move haha. That scene was messed up. The ending scene it shows the truck drive away and shows the bed of the truck where you can’t fully see inside it so I felt like they belt the tension off of thinking he is in the back of the truck but after like 20 min dialogue he wasn’t in it. Felt like the suspense was built really hard in that scene but didn’t give us what we expected so I overall enjoyed the ending

Ok. He died as a kid and he was reborn as a hulking hunk a hunk a burning love???? DAFUQ????😮

"In a Violent Nature" is easily the best "Friday the 13th" installment Paramount and New Line never got to make.

I liked it too...the guy with the axe machine...pretty sure he broke his back that made him paralyzed? Or am i the only one that thought that?

I just seen this movie. I couldn’t stop laughing. After seeing some of the kills. I have to say listening to you talk about this movie was better than watching it 😂

I just saw the movie and I loved it sure it’s slow at times but I still love it I like how the killer is basically Jason voorhees but with a different mask

I loved it,however you hit the nail on the head,some things could have definitely been cut out. The kills were amazing I m calling it Terrifier the 13th! The acting was terrible but I'm wondering was that done on purpose??

When you order Jason from Wish

I used to love these movies but something about aging has me repulsed by simulated murders. What are we thinking?

I just have to say this about the "yoga death scene". I don't understand why she just didn't jump rather than take the death sentence that she got! The cliff had a slant and there was water at the bottom! Jumping and sliding down the hill would have been much better than the fate she got, lol! And then she kind of just stood there like "Go ahead and kill me" for a few seconds before he actually did, lol! It was a cool scene but also kind of dumb at the same time!

What does your sweatshirt mean? The 3 icons. Male Dead Globe?

This looks like Jason Voorhees half cousin half brother

Body of waterologist lol 😂

hey @wewatchedamovie can you do a reaction to Logan the wolf the Wolverine fan film?

I just saw it. TBH, I think it should have just been a standard F13th formatted show, especially since it'll be who knows when before we get another F13th movie. In a Violent Nature had it's moments, but yeah it was boring for stretches and that ending would not end. Give us a sequel, but fuck it don't get so artsy and just go with Jason type killer at a lake.

Yeah definetly more comparable to Friday The 13th or Hatchet than Terrifier

What do Mike how your day doing you funny in youtube

i like the last 15 mins where the shift is now to Kris. Kris is becoming a killer. With the trauma she saw and the whole night and day of running. Her mind has changed completely and shes becoming a "high tension" lady. Remember the movie is about the killer's perspective. So forget Johnny in the last 15mins. The new killer is Kris at this point and if there will be a sequel then it's her doing the walking around the woods. Remember she was holding a lighter. She will take that gasoline and burn that lady and she will take that axe as well. Part 2 lets follow Kris

I liked it for how different it is from other slashers in terms of how it is shot but it's also just boring when it lingers for a bit too long on Johnny walking.

It was definitely dumb for the guy who took an axe to the leg stopped next to the rock for Johnny to use, and agreed with the last guy that’s killed that probably made Johnny shit his pants, dumb af. Aside from that, the dialog is hilariously Friday the 13th the video game even set in a sort of present The log splitting scene reminded of 78 Texas chainsaw a bit. Also Ranger Danger man definitely got his log jacked, so he can only use his one hand right? That’s why he got head.. taken off.. Jim

Friday the 13th Part 6 Jason Lives Vibes

I really enjoyed this Film. You HAVE to go into this movie with low expectations I’d say. So you won’t be disappointed by the Ending. The movie was complicated. It was Simple and to the Point. To its detriment. We’ll see.

Ehh...went to the theater...Ehhh😂 Yoga kill was nuts 😂

What is there to possibly spoil 😂😂 trailer doesn’t make it any secret that it’s a guy walking around for hours killing people and that’s about all it is.

This movie was definitely a relief, considering all of the shitty horror films we've been given lately. I agree with the pacing being a bit too slow, but overall, I enjoyed this one and will definitely be adding it to the collection when it's available. I hope we get some sequels!

Ilike your review. However I thought the ending was really good.

Movie was a miss on most parts but the kills were cool. I give it a 4/10. That camp scene dialogue and last talking scene was terrible

Watched it last night..What a load of shite! It was soooooo slow and boring 😴 So disappointing 😞

This movie will give you the mumps.

think you mean gen Z we are both gen Y mike people bon 81-96

What do you mean "spoiler"? There is nothing to spoil.

Can you please explain to me what ASMR is as im old at 47 and don't get all this shit, neither do my friends 🤣🤣🤣🐾💜👍

You didnt like WISH Tommy Jarvis? Lol

This movie was absolutely horrible

I got heavy black comedy vibes from this but it wasnt very funny

Am I the only one who thought that Johnny could hear them whispering like a slasher super power 🤔 but you nailed it, it’s an art house slasher. There’s a lot of potential but that ending was too pretentious for me. Other than that it was straight

I don't usually feel like a movie is a waste of time but this absolutely was. 50 minute short film stretched way too long

It was okay. Kind of boring kills overall. Horrendous pacing. And that ending… Jesus what a wet turd of an ending.

This was the zone of interest but no nazi’s

I absolutely hated it. Terrible acting and incredibly dull.

Just got done watching it, two people left 15 mins in. Great movie tbh, ending was kinda ehhh but still good. Loved the yoga girl kill.

I really wanted a different movie, I guess. That ending felt like F13 fan film sacrilege. How did you NOT end on a Mamma jump scare? It was right there.

For all the doofuses online who keep saying the movie was boring or trash they obviously don't appreciate good cinematography and are losers!

The story about the bear was actually about Johnny. There was no bear. I actually liked the ending a lot.

TOTALLY DISAGREE with the ending feedback I’ve seen on KZfaq. Spoiler alert: The ending has a “twist” and I haven’t seen it explained at all as that. The lady who picks the final girl up is very familiar with what has been going on in the woods but attributes all of the deaths (up until this point, which she isn’t aware YET of all the new bodies that will be found in the woods) to bear, coyotes and other “animal” attacks. It is perfect irony to the final girl. Then she says a quote that puts the perfect bow on the film. “Animals don’t get too hung up on reason”. Johnny IS the animal and as that isn’t rational at all with whom he kills or how he kills “

I loved the idea, but I it was extremely drawn out. They edited some time out but not others, the dialogue and acting was awful, needed way more kills to fill the time, and better kills. The wood cutter one was boring for me. And really hated that there was no music. I felt that could have helped make some serious moments less laughable. But like I said I did enjoy some aspects of it. Some kills were good, and there were moments that really relished in the concept. So I really don’t know how I feel 😅

Just saw. It. I really liked it…way more than I thought I would. A little trivia for you…do you know who the lady was who was driving the truck at the end and picked her up in the dirt road? Hint: she is a victim of Jason in Friday the 13th part 2

Yoga.....anyone ?????

I think the biggest question everyone has is "Why are you so sexy"??? This movie looks AWESOME!!
