After the somewhat novel approach in the beginning of the film where you see and feel what the life of a killer on a happy murderous jaunt across the hillside would be like, it then leaves you only waiting on the next kill. Some are pretty good I will say but it can't truly save the movie.
The First Person camera approach was somewhat done over 3 decades ago with the much better "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer", albeit, that followed the everyday life of a serial killer and …

In a Violent Nature

A slasher art-film? Now I've seen everything. "In a Violent Nature" starts out interesting, but soon begins a steady decline into pretentiousness and more often than not emboldens cliches rather than elevate or reinvent them.

Late Night with the Devil

An instant classic if you're a fan of demon, possession, or cult horror and one of the most inventive examples in any of those sub-genre niches.
