🎥 “In a Violent Nature 2” Teaser Trailer: Johnny’s Rampage Reignites at a Remote Summer Camp in This POV Slasher Horror Sequel — Coming Soon
Has anyone ever stopped to consider what a menacing masked psycho with a large, rusty stabbing weapon might actually be seeing when he’s out there doing his dastardly deeds? Leatherface, Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, what have you. Has anyone ever wondered what that would look like through their eyes? What would it feel like to be the one doing the stalking instead of the screaming?
Well, special effects artist Chris Nash set out to answer that age-old question back in 2024 with his ultra-gory splatter film In a Violent Nature, which has since become an instant cult classic. Nash shot an entire horror movie from the slasher’s point of view, much in the vein of a first-person shooter video game. The result flipped the slasher formula on its blood-soaked head, locking us, the audience, behind the eyes of a silent, lumbering killer named Johnny, forcing us to march through the woods at his pace and witness the blood-splattering terror from his perspective.
It was a divisive film, to say the least, as some felt the slow, methodical pacing drained the slasher genre of its usual jolts and thrills, while others saw it as a bold, almost experimental reinvention of a tried-and-true formula. But hey, it felt like a one-off experiment. A curiosity. A gnarly little art-house slasher that did its thing and moved on. There’s no way that would come back with a sequel, right?
Ahhh, got you, sucker. Johnny’s back! And like all slasher films that came before, you can’t really stop the bloodstained mayhem. It just keeps going and going. Bury it, burn it, pretend it’s over... doesn’t matter. The nightmare never really ended.
In a Violent Nature 2 drags its silent slasher back into the forest, this time steering his slow, inevitable rampage toward a summer camp already primed for bad decisions. Directed by Nathaniel Wilson, with Chris Nash stepping aside to serve as writer and producer, the sequel once again plants us at ground level, where every snapped twig and heavy footstep feels less like a jump scare and more like a countdown.
Ry Barrett returns once again embodying the killer Johnny, alongside a fresh roster of new victims... er, cast members Lucas Nguyen, Olivia Scriven, Laurie Babin, Fionn Laird, Donald MacLean Jr., and Evan Marsh.
In a Violent Nature 2 will be coming soon. But knowing Johnny’s lumbering pace, he might take his sweet time getting here... and honestly, that’s half the dread.
🎥 “Faces of Death” Trailer: A Content Moderator Spirals Into a Disturbing Mystery in Filmmaker Daniel Goldhaber’s Algorithm-Era Reimagining of the Infamous Shock Franchise Starring Barbie Ferreira and Dacre Montgomery — Hitting Theaters April 10th
This might be hard to imagine, but there was a time when simply uttering the words “Faces of Death” conjured sweat-pouring panic and nerve-jingling terror. Anyone who grew up in the ’80s and ’90s remembers how those infamous VHS tapes felt like forbidden relics. They were whispered about on playgrounds, passed around at sleepovers, and treated like contraband you weren’t supposed to see but absolutely had to.
They weren’t just movies. They were urban legends in plastic clamshell cases. The kind of thing someone’s older cousin claimed to own. The kind of tape you’d pop into the VCR with one eye half-covered, bracing yourself for something you might never be able to unsee. In an era before the internet flattened shock value into a daily scroll, the mystique alone was enough. Was it real? Was it staged? Did it even matter? What mattered was the feeling… that queasy, heart-thumping sense that you were crossing a line just by pressing play.
Now fast forward 30 or 40 years, and by today’s standards, that kind of grotesque imagery isn’t considered forbidden or even particularly taboo anymore. We carry it around in our pockets like nothing. It’s just a scroll away from some of the most disturbing, real-world horrors imaginable. Unfiltered. Stripped of context. Served up between soda ads and silly dance challenges. Perhaps it’s the perfect time to revisit the Faces of Death franchise. Not to examine how those tapes changed, but how we have.
From filmmaker Daniel Goldhaber and producer-writer Isa Mazzei, following their incendiary How to Blow Up a Pipeline, this Faces of Death reimagining drags that old “is it real or staged?” anxiety into the algorithm age, where the horror doesn’t just live on screen — it spreads like a contagion. While the original tapes were clippings of raw news footage of accidents and murders (some real, some staged), this new horror redo appears to probe something far more insidious: our addiction to such imagery itself.
Barbie Ferreira (Euphoria, Bob Trevino Likes It) stars as a content moderator for a major video platform who stumbles across what look like reenactments of murders from the original cult shocker — only this time the line feels thinner, the stakes sharper. As the videos multiply and doubt creeps in, she’s forced to determine whether she’s watching performance art, a twisted homage… or violence unfolding in real time.
With Dacre Montgomery (Stranger Things), Josie Totah (The Buccaneers), Aaron Holliday (Cocaine Bear), Jermaine Fowler (Coming 2 America), and pop star Charli XCX rounding out the ensemble, this contemporary take isn’t about grainy bootlegs anymore. It’s about viral feeds, weaponized misinformation, and the terrifying reality that once something is uploaded, it never truly disappears.
Faces of Death arrives in theaters April 10th.
🎥 “The Christophers” Trailer: Ian McKellen Plays a Reclusive Pop Art Painter Targeted by a Hired Forger in Steven Soderbergh’s New Art-World Dramedy with Michaela Coel — Opening in Select Theaters April 10th
Steven Soderbergh once claimed he was planning to retire from filmmaking about ten years ago. Since then, he has somehow morphed into one of the most prolific directors working today. He’s back again this year with his third feature film in two years and roughly his eleventh movie in the past decade alone. So Soderbergh just might have a different definition of retirement than the rest of us.
Soderbergh has certainly found that sweet spot of working with top-tier talent while still operating mostly independently and frequently collaborating with the same screenwriters. In this latest film, he once again teams up with writer Ed Solomon, following their 2021 crime thriller No Sudden Move as well as the twisty miniseries Full Circle and Mosaic.
In The Christophers, legendary actor Ian McKellen stars as Julian Sklar, a once-celebrated figure of London’s 1960s and ’70s pop art scene who hasn’t touched a canvas in decades and hasn’t seen a paycheck in years. Enter his estranged children, played by comedian James Corden and Baby Reindeer breakout Jessica Gunning, who see eight unfinished paintings in deep storage not as art, but as opportunity.
Their solution is Lori, a sharp art restorer and former forger played by I May Destroy You’s Michaela Coel, hired to pose as an assistant and secretly complete the buried canvases so they can later be “discovered” after Julian’s death.
It’s a plan built on deception, ego, and a ticking clock no one wants to acknowledge. With Soderbergh behind the camera and Solomon behind the script, this looks less like a simple con and more like a sharp character study about the uncomfortable question of who really owns an artist’s legacy when the paint has dried but the bills haven’t.
The Christophers is slated to open in select theaters on April 10th.
🎥 “Marc by Sofia” Trailer: Sofia Coppola Turns the Camera on Longtime Friend and Fashion Designer Marc Jacobs in Her First Documentary — Hitting Theaters March 27th
Filmmaker Sofia Coppola is known for creating intimate personal dramas that feel deeply revealing, yet still allow her to lean into the safety and space of fiction. Coppola never felt like someone entirely comfortable with the spotlight herself, which might explain why her films so often linger on characters caught between who they are and who the world expects them to be.
But for her first nonfiction feature, the Lost in Translation director appears to be stepping out from behind that veil, opening herself up as she turns the camera toward someone she has known for over three decades: fashion designer Marc Jacobs.
In Marc by Sofia, Sofia Coppola places herself inside the frame of this intimate documentary about her friend, whose relationship with the filmmaker seems to blur the line between collaborator and confidant, making the portrait feel less like a detached profile and more like a conversation they’ve been having ever since they first met. With shared influences and shared passions, drawing from the same cultural touchstones, this doc plays less like a formal chronicle and more like two friends opening the doors and letting audiences eavesdrop on a creative dialogue that’s been unfolding for decades. And who knew casting a film is so close to setting a runway; both are about instinct, silhouette, and finding the right face to define the entire mood.
When a filmmaker known for mood and interiority turns her lens on a designer who helped define modern luxury, the result feels less like a career retrospective and more like a dialogue between two artists. And sometimes, that’s where the real story lives.
Marc by Sofia is hitting theaters March 27th. Come for the fashion, but stay for the friendship.
