IFC Films and Shudder announced at Comic-Con over the weekend that they are producing a sequel to the horror slasher thriller POV In a violent natureThe sequel is in the early stages of development.
In the first film, “When a medallion is removed from a collapsed fire tower in the woods that buries the rotting corpse of Johnny, a vengeful spirit driven by a horrific 60-year-old crime, his body is resurrected and becomes determined to retrieve it.
“The undead golem zeroes in on the group of vacationing teenagers responsible for the theft and proceeds to methodically slaughter them one by one in his quest to recover the theft, along with anyone else in his path.”
Head of AMC Networks’ Motion Picture Group Written by Scott Shooman said in a statement: “In a Violent Nature has proven that there continues to be a desire for fresh perspectives in the horror landscape.
“We immediately knew that this distinctive take on the slasher would resonate with fans, and we’re excited to see the community embrace a new slasher icon in Johnny.
“With the sequel, we aim to prove that Johnny can be bigger, badder, and his kills can only get more impressive.”
Producer Peter Kuplowsky commented on the announcement: “In a Violent Nature was originally conceived as a meta-sequel within a fictional slasher series, so we always imagined chaos beyond the scope of the original film.
“To now have the opportunity to continue following Johnny on his restless journey makes us incredibly grateful to our incredible partners at IFC Films / Shudder who have believed in Chris’s vision since day one.
“We’re thrilled to be returning for a new chapter and are excited to use Johnny as a conduit for further experiments in the genre.”
The producers of the sequel include Peter Kuplowsky AND Shannon HanmerAND Chris Nash will return as a screenwriter. Emily Gotto, Nicholas Lazo AND Samuel Zimmerman will oversee the development of Shudder.
I’m not surprised this movie got a sequel. It was a unique take on the slasher genre, and while some parts were boring, it did feature some incredibly brutal kills.
If you haven’t seen it yet, the film will premiere streaming on Shudder on Friday, September 13, 2024.
