I knew that I couldn't find exact posts about preserving that exact evil dead movie case, ( or maybe there are)I see, thanks.
On the whole, IN A VIOLENT NATURE (now available digitally) is very much a mixed bag, but I'd ultimately say slasher fans should still give it a look. The forest scenery is beautiful, and there are a couple of very impressive, grotesque kills that make you go, "Well, I've certainly never seen that before."
Its climax really deflates it, though, and even though those aforementioned kills are cool, they're so over-the-top that they feel at-odds with the tone of the rest of the movie.
Agree to disagree, I loved how truly and terrifically the lone survivor was distraught and how well the final scene played on slasher tropes to amplify the realistic terror she's suffering. You continue to expect Johnny to show himself for one final scare over and over and over but he never comes. I didn't need an entire movie with her character to see and feel how truly devastated and broken she was in that moment.
It's a deeper and divisive film and I kind of love that!
Yeah, I was generally not impressed by the performances (even by slasher movie standards).also the rest of the cast had awful dialogue and awful delivery. the small scenes we have of dialogue were just awful.
people always say "oh it is bad on purpose" but that cant always be the cover for all bad characters. somethings bad is just bad, really badYeah, I was generally not impressed by the performances (even by slasher movie standards).
this is just my opinion but,Meh, you can say it's an excuse but I think the dialogue and tilted performances are on purpose on a meta level. That part of the film (the characters and their dialogue) is one of the things 'stuck' in the 'nature' of a slasher film. They are playing out their roles with bad dialogue and less than earnest performances because that's their natural state.
The reason I fully believe that is because each and every character does exactly what they're supposed to, the stoner goes out by himself and gets killed, the promiscuous lovers flirt and get killed, the heroic ranger has one last stand against Johnny and gets killed, etc. The one and only time a character breaks their nature is the ending. Kris is SUPPOSED to lure Johnny to the fire tower for one big, climactic battle but she finally breaks her own nature, does the intelligent thing, drops the locket and just runs for her life. I think that's why Johnny continues bludgeoning Colt: the action that was supposed to draw him away never happens. There's a distinct sound cue when Kris is walking on the road that I think is the indication that she's fully out of the nature of the slasher film, where she finds herself in the real world, talking to the woman and having to deal with the real consequences of his traumatic experience and the depression and anxiety that comes with it.
I would say you're missing the forest for the trees if your main complaint is the characters, dialogue and performances.
but thats the thing, we are following him, for the entire movie, the movie is about him, from his point of view, you are supposed to fully immerse yourself in him (like the leslie vernom movie) technically you ARE jonny. you follow him and see the world with him, you hear the nature around him with him. am i correct? (you dont even properly hear the conversation at the beginning house or the sheriff at first since you are following him)In A Violent Nature isn't 'making fun' of slasher tropes, it's using them to illustrate a much deeper point about the natural world, human's stake in them, themes of post traumatic stress disorder and others.
Again, forest for the trees. You're stuck on the idea of dialogue when there's deeper things to digest here. Why do we see a scene of Johnny stalling his massacre because he finds a little toy car? Why does the movie end with a drawn out one sided conversation rather than the final girl blowing Johnny up with the gas can?
