A new trailer has recently dropped for the highly anticipated slasher film, “In A Violent Nature”, promising a thrilling twist on the classic genre.

Watch the new trailer for “In A Violent Nature” below:

The film centers around the enigmatic resurrection, rampage, and retribution of an undead monster named Johnny, set against the backdrop of a remote wilderness. Described by Variety as featuring “a masked killer named Johnny traipsing through the woods, camping teens, a local who escaped death years ago, [and] buckets of gore,” it promises to deliver the quintessential slasher experience with a fresh perspective.

Nash’s vision for “In A Violent Nature” goes beyond the conventional tropes of the genre. Instead of focusing solely on the victims, the narrative is primarily tethered to the perspective of the killer, providing audiences with a unique glimpse into Johnny’s reign of terror. This approach, as highlighted by Variety, allows Nash to play freely with the storytelling, offering a refreshing take on familiar themes.

Shudder, the popular streaming service known for its curated selection of horror content, is set to host “In A Violent Nature” following its theatrical run. Samuel Zimmerman of Shudder praised Nash’s clarity of vision, noting that the film blends classical slasher elements with revolutionary cinematography reminiscent of Gerald Kargl’s “Angst”. According to Zimmerman, Nash’s goal was to create an artful slasher that evolves the genre’s language while retaining its core hallmarks.

Scott Shooman, head of AMC Networks film group, emphasized the immersive experience of watching “In A Violent Nature” in theaters. He described it as a different experience, citing the film’s exceptional slasher kills and the communal thrill of sharing the cinematic journey with fellow horror enthusiasts.

Starring Ry Barrett, Andrea Pavlovic, and a talented ensemble cast, “In A Violent Nature” promises to be a standout addition to the slasher genre. With its May theatrical release date fast approaching, fans of horror cinema are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to immerse themselves in Nash’s chilling world.

Unbelievably Cool ‘Scream’ Trailer But Re-Imagined As A 50s Horror Flick

Published

on

Ever wonder what your favorite horror movies would look like if they had been made in the 50s? Thanks to We Hate Popcorn But Eat It Anyway and their use of modern technology now you can!

The YouTube channel reimagines modern movie trailers as mid-century pulp flicks using AI software.

What is really neat about these bite-sized offerings is that some of them, mostly the slashers go against what cinemas had to offer over 70 years ago. Horror movies back then involved atomic monsters, scary aliens, or some sort of physical science gone awry. This was the era of the B-movie where actresses would put their hands against their faces and let out over-dramatic screams reacting to their monstrous pursuer.

With the advent of new color systems such as DeLuxe and Technicolor, movies were vibrant and saturated in the 50s enhancing primary colors that electrified the action happening on screen, bringing a whole new dimension to films using a process called Panavision.

“Scream” reimagined as a 50s horror movie.

Arguably, Alfred Hitchcock upended the creature feature trope by making his monster a human in Psycho (1960). He used black and white film to create shadows and contrast which added suspense and drama to every setting. The final reveal in the basement would probably not have been if he had used color.

Jump to the 80s and beyond, actresses were less histrionic, and the only emphasized primary color was blood red.

What is also unique about these trailers is the narration. The We Hate Popcorn But Eat It Anyway team has captured the monotone narration of 50s movie trailer voiceovers; those over-dramatic faux news anchor cadences that emphasized buzz words with a sense of urgency.

That mechanic died out long ago, but luckily, you can see what some of your favorite modern horror movies would look like when Eisenhower was in office, developing suburbs were replacing farmland and cars were made with steel and glass.

Here are some other noteworthy trailers brought to you by We Hate Popcorn But Eat It Anyway:

‘Presumed Innocent’ Trailer: 90s-Style Sexy Thrillers Are Back

Published

on

Presumed Innocent

Jake Gyllenhaal might be Presumed Innocent, but in this official trailer for the eight-part AppleTV+ series the evidence is to the contrary. Fresh off of his Amazon stint as a barroom cooler in Road House, Gyllenhaal is going from blue-collar to white-collar in his latest project produced by David E. Kelley and J.J. Abrams.

Based on the 1987 book by Scott Turow, this is the latest adaptation of that legal thriller—the first being in 2000 starring Harrison Ford. “It tells the story of a horrific murder that upends the Chicago Prosecuting Attorneys’ office when one of its own is suspected of the crime.”

The 90s provided movie-going audiences with lots of sexy thrillers. Perhaps the most famous being Basic Instinct. From there Hollywood kept churning them out. They were mostly set in places with procedural tasks, such as a law firm or police precinct. But they always had a sex scene.

By the look of the Presumed Innocent trailer, it seems we are getting a callback to those days. The cast also includes Ruth NeggaBill Camp, and Peter Sarsgaard. The first two episodes will premiere on AppleTV+ on June 12.
