\n\tParis-based international sales banner Charades<\/a> has boarded \u201cIn a Violent Nature 2,\u201d<\/a> the sequel to the 2024 horror hit, and is getting ready to give it a big market push at the EFM in Berlin.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe first film, \u201cIn a Violent Nature,\u201d had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in 2024 and quickly became a cult slasher after being released theatrically by Independent Film Company <\/a>(formerly known as IFC<\/a> Films) and Shudder. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe sequel, which started shooting in Canada in September and is now in post, brings back Ry Barrett as Johnny, a vengeful, undead killer who embarks on a bloody rampage after a group of teens steal a golden locket that awakens his spirit. In the second film, Johnny heads to a summer camp, where he crosses paths with a young, outcast camper who is forced to spend the night with his counselor sister and her friends at their annual end-of-season party. Lucas Nguyen, Olivia Scriven, Laurie Babin, Fionn Laird, Donald MacLean Jr. and Evan Marsh complete the cast.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film is written by Chris Nash. Producers are Peter Kuplowsky, Shannon Hanmer, with Nash and Michael James Regan, alongside co-producer Liane Cunje.<\/p>\n

\n\tIndependent Film Company and Shudder first announced the sequel during the Bold Voice of Contemporary Horror panel at San Diego Comic-Con. Upon premiering at Sundance, the movie garnered solid reviews, including in Variety<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201c\u2018In a Violent Nature 2<\/a>\u2018 is a first feature, driven by a new vision, with more kills, more blood, hopefully even more iconic,\u201d said Charades\u2019 co-founders Carole Baraton, Pierre Mazars and Yohann Comte.<\/p>\n

\n\tKuplowsky pointed out that his \u201chistory with Charades dates back to \u2018Psycho Goreman.’\u201d \u201cWe are thrilled that they continue to have a taste for our gory genre delights,\u201d said Kuplowsky, before adding that \u201cwith this sequel, fans can expect an exponential increase of the ol\u2019 ultraviolence with a distinct hook, but one that still collides with storied slasher traditions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCharades will also be attending the European Film Market with Kiyoshi Kurosawa\u2019s first-ever period drama \u201cKokurojo: The Samurai and the Prisoner<\/a>\u201c; as well as Louis Paxton\u2019s debut feature \u201cThe Incomer,\u201d which played at Sundance; and Yoshitoshi Shinomiya\u2019s \u201cA New Dawn,\u201d set to compete at the Berlinale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paris-based international sales banner Charades has boarded \u201cIn a Violent Nature 2,\u201d the sequel to the 2024 horror…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":418612,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[154606,96,154607,154608,154609,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-418611","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-charades","tag-entertainment","tag-ifc","tag-in-a-violent-nature-2","tag-independent-film-group","tag-movies","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/418611","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=418611"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/418611\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/418612"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=418611"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=418611"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=418611"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
