  In a Violent Nature 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 31 Oct 2024

  What a super cool idea. A POV slasher movie that is mostly shot from the perspective of the killer.

And that animation is pretty gorgeous, including the odd way the faces are constructed in various partitions.

  I loved the idea of everyone, beside the main character, having the same voice. Even if it gave the film a bit of a South Park/Team America:…
