Described as a comedic slasher movie, Get Away from director Steffen Haars (Krazy House) has been acquired by IFC Films and Shudder, and the trailer has arrived this week.
The film was previously titled Svalta, and it’s hitting theaters from IFC Films on December 6, 2024. From what we understand, Get Away will slash into Shudder in 2025.
Written by and starring Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz), the film follows a family on their summer vacation to a remote island where they discover a serial killer is on the loose. Unfortunately for them the locals have no interest in helping the stranded family.
Frost said in a statement this week, “I’m thrilled Get Away has found a home at IFC Films and Shudder, alongside the constant support and collaboration with Wayward Entertainment and the gang at XYZ. It’s such a good fit and a real relief knowing that Get Away is in such safe hands. I can’t wait for you to finally see it in theaters!”
“I am super hyped that Get Away found its perfect partner in IFC Films and Shudder to bring the film to North American audiences. We can’t wait to invite everyone on this killer trip with the Smith family to the unwelcome island of Svälta,” said Haars.
“Get Away is a laugh out loud comedy that pours several buckets of blood onto a family’s sweet vacation in Sweden. This hilarious thrill ride will stir up laughs and scares in equal measure,” said Shudder’s Emily Gotto. “Nick Frost revs up his horror comedy expertise with the support of a strong ensemble cast and Steffen Haars’ playful directorial touch.”
Aisling Bea (This Way Up), Sebastian Croft (Heartstopper) and Maisie Ayres also star.
