10 Recent Horror Movies That Should NEVER Get A Sequel
6. In a Violent Nature
Arthouse slasher In a Violent Nature is undeniably one of the most unique and memorable horror movies of the past year - a formally brilliant attempt to take the Friday the 13th formula and turn it into a work of pure Slow Cinema.
Though unsurprisingly proving divisive with general audiences due to its unconventional style, Chris Nash's film still grossed $4.6 million, which is almost ten-times its impressively low $500,000 budget. All the same, few came away from In a Violent Nature anticipating a franchise, and yet, a sequel was officially confirmed to be in development last summer.
But it's tough to see In a Violent Nature working as an ongoing franchise, especially with the fresh magic of its stylistic "gimmick" now fully out in the open. While Nash will hopefully have a few nifty tricks up his sleeve if the film does indeed get made, it'll be all too easy for it to end up becoming the very thing it appeared to be deconstructing the first time around.
