The first trailer In A Violent Nature is now online, and it finds an unstoppable masked maniac stalking and brutally murdering a group of teenagers in an idyllic/remote setting.

Yes, it's the usual Friday the 13th-style slasher movie set-up, but writer/director Chris Nash's movie puts a new spin on the genre by having the story unfold from the killer's perspective.

The teaser begins with Johnny - a clear nod to Friday's Jason - rising from the grave to reclaim a locket that was taken by a group of friends on vacation. We see the undead monster ruthlessly despatch his victims... while enjoying a quiet stroll in the woods.

“One of the biggest challenges was trying to figure out how much information is necessary to tell the story,” Nash explains to EW. “Fortunately, the slasher genre has a lot of recognizable tropes that I could rely on filling in the blanks that we couldn’t touch on without straying too far from our stylistic conceit. I owe an unfathomable debt to all the Friday the 13ths, The Burning, My Bloody Valentine — really the entire slasher genre; they laid the foundation for our film.”

The first reviews for In A Violent Nature are in, and the movie is currently sitting at a very impressive 93% on Rotten Tomatoes with 28 verdicts counted.

Check out the trailer and poster below, and let us know what you think in the comments section.

"When a locket is removed from a collapsed fire tower in the woods that entombs the rotting corpse of Johnny, a vengeful spirit spurred on by a horrific 60-year-old crime. His body is resurrected, and he becomes hellbent on retrieving it. The undead golem hones in on the group of vacationing teens responsible for the theft and proceeds to methodically slaughter them one by one in his mission to get it back – along with anyone in his way."

The film stars Ry Barrett, Andrea Pavlovic, Cameron Love, Reece Presley, Liam Leone, Charlotte Creaghan, Lea Rose Sebastianis, Sam Roulston, Alexander Oliver, and Lauren Taylor.

IFC Films will release In A Violent Nature exclusively in theaters on May 31. Do you plan on catching this one on the big screen?

This is interesting but I think the novelty will wear off in the first 15-30 minutes.

This has got to be the worst idea I have heard all year! They are making an Event Horizon TV Series! What the hell (Pun Intended)???? How is that going to work?

@marvel72 - The movie is a guilty pleasure! I agree that the TV series is a bad idea. The premise of the film focuses on two things, a countdown of time to get off the haunted ship and dealing with the evil entity. However they go about maikng the series, a time constraint can't be used since the series will undermine that, and fighting an eveil entity is undercut by lapses in the periods in between each episode thereby neutralizing any since of building tension. I could be wrong, but this film does not seem like it can be effectively serialized.
