‘In a Violent Nature: Part 2’ Gets 2027 Premiere Date With IFC & Shudder — NYCC

Johnny is back for more first-person POV blood and carnage as Chris Nash‘s In a Violent Nature: Part 2 heads to theaters on Valentine’s Day weekend.

On Saturday at New York Comic-Con, actor Ry Barrett, who reprises his role as the undead firefighter mask-clad killer, announced that the Independent Film Company/Shudder slasher sequel will premiere in theaters on Feb. 12, 2027, following the original’s breakout at Sundance’s Midnight program in 2024.

In a Violent Nature: Part 2 picks up where the first left off as Johnny (Barrett) continues his violent rampage at an Ontario summer camp, where a young outcast camper is forced to spend the night with his counselor sister and her friends at their annual end-of-season party.

Following the original movie’s unique approach to the slasher genre that put the audience in the killer’s perspective, the sequel will expand on Johnny’s lore and deliver more brutally extreme and creative kills.

The sequel, which made its world premiere last month at Fantastic Fest, is co-directed by Nate Wilson and Chris Nash, who also penned the script. The film is produced by Peter Kuplowsky, Shannon Hanmer and Nash.
