IFC Films and Shudder have announced that Johnny, the masked killer from indie-slasher In A Violent Nature, is set to pick up the axe once more for a sequel to the breakout horror hit.
Per Variety’s report and the teaser poster released by IFC Films (see below), it was revealed that a sequel to the $4.5 million grossing slasher was in the early stages of development. As well as bringing back Jason Voorhees-style killer Johnny, the first film’s writer and director, Chris Nash, will return as screenwriter.
Telling the oft-told tale of a masked-maniac on a rampage, but from the point-of-view of the boogeyman, we called In A Violent Nature “a delirious, brutal, gory “you sick fuck” good time” in our review (which you can read here).
Head of AMC Networks’ film group Scott Shooman said in a statement that “with the sequel, we aim to prove that Johnny can be bigger, meaner, and his kills can only get more impressive.”
