International Sales Banner Charades Boards Horror Sequel "In a Violent Nature 2"
Charades, a prominent Paris-based international sales banner, has added another horror sequel to its slate. The new film, titled "In a Violent Nature 2," is set to premiere at the European Film Market (EFM) in Berlin and will be heavily promoted by Charades.
The first installment of the series, "In a Violent Nature," premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2024 and gained cult status upon its theatrical release. The sequel follows the same terrifying premise as its predecessor: Johnny, a vengeful undead killer, seeks revenge after a group of teens steal his golden locket.
The new film boasts an impressive cast, including Lucas Nguyen, Olivia Scriven, Laurie Babin, Fionn Laird, Donald MacLean Jr., and Evan Marsh. The story is written by Chris Nash and directed by Nathaniel Wilson, with producers Peter Kuplowsky, Shannon Hanmer, and Nash, alongside co-producer Liane Cunje.
Charades' involvement in the project marks a notable addition to its horror slate, which also includes "Psycho Goreman." According to producer Peter Kuplowsky, Charades has been drawn to the film's increased level of ultraviolence and distinct hook, while still honoring established slasher traditions.
The EFM marks the beginning of Charades' promotional push for "In a Violent Nature 2," with other horror films like Kiyoshi Kurosawa's "Kokurojo: The Samurai and the Prisoner" and Yoshitoshi Shinomiya's "A New Dawn" also set to participate in the event.

charades is bringing some serious heat with this one, and that cast? 
lucas nguyen, olivia scriven, laurie babin... i need to know what's going down in this sequel! 
the fact that it's a horror film with ultraviolence and a twist on established slasher traditions is giving me major vibes. and charades' involvement just makes it a no-brainer buy-in 
can't wait for efm and see how it all goes down 
. Charades is always bringing heat to horror sales banners 
. They've got an awesome cast lined up this time around and I'm excited to see how Nathaniel Wilson brings the terror 
. Can't wait for more updates on EFM!
. Charades has done some great work with their horror films, especially with "Psycho Goreman" – let's see if "In a Violent Nature 2" can live up to the hype 
.
. Like, can't we just leave the undead killer alone? I mean, what's next, a spin-off on Johnny's grandma or something? And don't even get me started on the golden locket - who steals that from an old dude? It's just begging for a heist movie parody 
. I'm all about the psychological thrillers and indie dramas over this mindless gore fest any day...
... I mean, I get it, people love that genre and all, but can't we have a break from the gore fest for one day? Charades is really raking it in with this one too, adding more bloodlust to their already impressive slate 
.
We're living in times where we should be focusing on uplifting stories and promoting empathy, not perpetuating horror and violence. And another thing, is this really what we want to see promoted at the EFM? It just feels like they're catering to a specific crowd that's already fascinated by that stuff. I wish more movies would tackle real issues and spark meaningful conversations instead of just being sensationalized for shock value 
. Charades bringing it to EFM in Berlin is a big deal, they're always pushing the limits with horror films 
. The cast looks amazing! Who's down for a thrilling night in? 
. Charades adding this sequel to their slate is a great move - it shows they're willing to take risks on films that might not appeal to everyone, which can be kinda refreshing in the horror genre.
. It's like they went out of their way to pick people who could really bring some tension and fear to their roles. And the fact that it's still honoring established slasher traditions but with an extra kick is definitely a plus
