movies Devices that are superior in concept and mechanism (because they are original, because they are unconventional) carry a serious risk. Essentially, once the device is discovered (which is usually very soon), it doesn’t matter what happens next. In some ways, that risk is even greater in a film like ‘Violence Nature’, whose genre (‘sniper’) often implies an implicit effect, a surprise, and a search for epidermal horror that doesn’t seem to fit well with a super-mechanical read.

To: Chris Nash’s very interesting debut There is an event in the film where the device becomes so obvious at certain moments that the viewer’s attention can be distracted, which risks holding it in too much memory and not being carried away by the fiery terror it offers. The ‘art house’ terror that Nash suggests with its slow pace, relaxed movements and unusual long shots, No matter how much it is, it can cause a certain distance, and at certain moments it can shake us and push us into horror. with several extremely shocking sequences. This is its drawback, but in any case it should be observed as the lesser evil because in ‘Violence in Nature’ goodness prevails.The good thing is the way Nash experiments with staging, timing and, above all, point of view. to show that even the most stable and simple formulaic genres deserve to be considered, revisited, and reinterpreted through images and sounds.
