Horror films really aren't my jam, but if you're a fan, there's certainly a lot to sink your teeth into right now.
While you can always indulge in horror classics such as Halloween and the plenty of films in the genre on Netflix, sometimes it's nice to tune into something new.
The current talk of the town is a movie shot uniquely shot from the killer's perspective which has received a lot of praise from viewers and critics alike.
In fact, the flick has even been dubbed as 'one of the best movies of the year' after its release on Friday (May 31).

An official synopsis for the horror - called In a Violent Nature - reads: "When a group of teens takes a locket from a collapsed fire tower in the woods, they unwittingly resurrect the rotting corpse of Johnny, a vengeful spirit spurred on by a horrific 60-year old crime. The undead killer soon embarks on a bloody rampage to retrieve the stolen locket, methodically slaughtering anyone who gets in his way."
Many who have watched the movie in cinemas over the weekend have flocked to social media to share their thoughts.
Taking to X, one film fanatic penned: "IN A VIOLENT NATURE is a stripped down, bare boned, pov slasher beamed straight out of the 80’s that f**ks hard…
the KILL everyone’s talking about is insane and an absolute all-timer…
director Chris Nash’s unique take on the horror genre is one of the year’s best."
While a second added: "In a Violent Nature ruled. Probably my favorite slasher in decades."
Well, In a Violent Nature is that gruesome one viewer ended up vomiting during a screening prior to its release.
X account Film Updates shared an audio clip from a screening of the film at the Chicago Critics Film Festival, where it's evident someone is being sick in the background.
Following the viral video, director Chris Nash issued a response.
Nash, who spoke to Dexerto last month, reflected on the vomiting story that has been circulating on social media.
“I have no idea whether or not this is true,” he said.
“I can’t take any pride in it, although I’m also not concerned.”
The director went on to say: “During the premiere of Julia Ducournau’s Raw in Toronto, there were reports of patrons fainting. And I know the guy that fainted, and he had a fever heading into that movie.
“He was not well, but he was just such a fan. He was like, ‘I gotta watch this movie.’ And so it was just because he was sick that he fainted. But it doesn’t matter. If you’re sitting down and anything happens to you then that’s the story.”
