“You’ll be stranded…”

Get Away released on Shudder on January 10th 2025. The horror comedy film stars Nick Frost, Aisling Bea, Maisie Ayres, and Sebastian Croft. It runs for approximately an hour and twenty-five minutes.

A remote vacation in Sweden takes a twisted turn when a family discovers that there may be a serial killer on the island threatening them all.

Here is the trailer:

Get Away starts out like your standard vacation gone wrong film, but it takes a risky and unexpected turn with its bloody final act. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Creepy and unsettling vibe.

I love vacation gone wrong films and this one definitely had an extra creepy tone. I’m not sure who would want to go on a vacation in a place like this, but there were plenty of unsettling moments sprinkled throughout the film, making me question booking an Airbnb ever again.

Insane final act!

I mean…really insane! It was batshit crazy in the best way possible. I kind of saw the twist coming, but it was still a lot of fun, making this a much more entertaining watch overall. If you’re thinking of tuning out, I highly recommend sticking around until the end.

The Cons:

Sluggish pacing at times.

The overall runtime was on the shorter side, but the middle of the film felt a little slower for me personally. I felt like we were waiting around for something extreme to happen. Don’t worry…we get there, but you have to sit through some slow fluff before that.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!

Get Away is a bonkers watch with a bloody fun twist.

Nick Frost is a lot of fun in this unexpected horror comedy gem.

DON’T TAKE THE JOB…

It was only supposed to be temporary…but when Olivia Crewe accepts a new position that seems too good to be true, she soon discovers that twelve other girls previously had the same job as her. Only none of them lasted for more than thirty days. No notice. Nothing…right before they mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
