10 Horror Movies Shot From The Killer’s Perspective

10. In A Violent Nature

Upcoming slasher film In a Violent Nature has such a brilliant conceit it's honestly amazing it hasn't been done before - at least not quite like this. 

The movie has a deceptively simple premise, of a mute masked killer hunting down a group of teens in the Canadian wilderness, but here's the genius rub - we follow the killer rather than his victims.

Since its recent premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, critics have praised director Chris Nash's inversion of the typical slasher movie setup, with the camera following behind the killer for long stretches of time, while dialogue is generally only heard when he gets close to his intended targets.

Rather than spend most of our time with the hapless teens, we hang out with the villain for the film's majority, Nash capturing the killings with a chilly objective detachment which begs the audience to consider their own relationship with the horror genre as entertainment.
