Shudder has become the go-to streaming service for horror fans. It brought back fan-favorite Joe Bob Briggs with The Last Drive-In and made many classic horror movies easily accessible after years of being difficult to find. Beyond that, Shudder consistently delivers innovative original horror films, including titles like the pandemic-era scare Host, the terrifying When Evil Lurks, and a successful reboot of the V/H/S series. Shudder not only celebrates classic horror, but also finds new ways to evolve the genre.
Shudder’s standout horror film, In a Violent Nature, released two years ago, offered a fresh take on the slasher genre by showing the story entirely through the eyes of the killer. The film follows Johnny, wielding a hatchet and hook, as he terrorizes teenagers at a campsite. Due to its success, a sequel is now in the works, and a new teaser trailer has just been released.
In a Violent Nature 2 Trailer Reinvents the Series
The first trailer for In a Violent Nature 2, revealed at IGN Fan Fest, hints at a shift in how the series tells its story. While the first movie focused entirely on the killer’s point of view as he hunted and attacked his victims, the sequel will explore things differently. In a Violent Nature 2 will still show Johnny committing violent acts, but it will also tell the story from the perspective of those he’s targeting.
The trailer hints at this through several shots, but it’s most apparent when a character looks directly at the camera, making it feel like they’re speaking to us. We also see scenes of the character Johnny attacking from impossible locations, suggesting a change in viewpoint is central to the film. The first movie, In a Violent Nature, was praised for subverting horror conventions and challenging how we think about the genre’s structure, and it looks like the sequel is doing something similar with a fresh approach.
A major question surrounding In a Violent Nature 2 is whether it will continue the story directly after the first film, or if it will be a prequel exploring Johnny’s past. The original movie suggested the legend of Johnny had been around for decades, hinting that the events we saw might have been just one chapter in a much longer history of terror. So, will the sequel move the story forward, or go back in time to show us more of Johnny’s origins? We’ll have to wait and see, but the lakeside is about to be filled with screams once again.
Nathaniel Wilson is directing the sequel to In a Violent Nature, with a script again by the original creator, Chris Nash. Ry Barrett will reprise his role as Johnny. While there’s no confirmed release date yet, the early arrival of a trailer suggests the film might be released in 2026.
