To the 80s we go, and investigating another backwoods horror film, The Forest.

A micro-budget affair, this one sees California hikers set upon at a remote park in the Sierra Nevada mountains.

But this isn’t your run-of-the-mill slasher. No, it’s a multi-genre horror extravaganza!

This week on the show, some Canadian horror. And an IP that’s filmed in Ontario, this reviewer’s home province.

Since making waves at Sundance, In a Violent Nature is continuing to provoke discussion as it moves to Shudder.

Is it a plodding bore, or a sinister masterpiece? Are we witnessing the next Art the Clown, another addition to the Mount Rushmore of Horror occupied by Pinhead, Freddy, Jason, Michael, Norman, etc?

Listen for yourself.
