In a Violent Nature

"Feels classic and completely new all at once."

"A fresh Canadian spin on slasher conventions."

"(A) sick, unsettling, and once-in-a-generation slasher flick."

"A gore-fest that is splendidly committed to the bit."

"The most thrilling, terrifying, gross and often quite funny reworking of the slasher genre in ages."

"A fascinating arthouse horror... that plays more like a minimalist slice-of-life feature with a grim, gory twist."

"A thrillingly cryptic and evocative act of genre resuscitation."

"Formally impressive but exasperatingly hollow."

"An unexpectedly serene, almost dreamlike meditation on a murderous psyche."

"That’s where Nash diverges from the other “slow” filmmakers: Put simply, Kore-eda doesn’t do this many decapitations."

"It's a really interesting visual stunt for a while, but the problem here is that the plot is just as dumb as all the other (slashers)."
