It was bound to happen given its critical & financial success, but a sequel to In A Violent Nature is officially in development at IFC Films & Shudder.
The news of the sequel came during the “The Bold Voice of Contemporary Horror” panel at San Diego Comic-Con. Producer Peter Kuplowsky had this to say about the sequel: In a Violent Nature was originally conceived as a meta-sequel within a fictional slasher series, so we were always imagining mayhem beyond the scope of the original film. That we now have the opportunity to continue following Johnny on his restless walk has us feeling incredibly grateful to our incredible partners at IFC Films / Shudder who believed in Chris’ vision from day one. We are thrilled to return for a new chapter and are excited to deploy Johnny as a conduit to further experiments in the genre.”
From IMDb, In A Violent Nature’s synopsis reads “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 70-year old crime, his body is resurrected and becomes hellbent on retrieving it.” The film was released theatrically in May and is one of IFC Films’ ten highest grossing films of all time.
