‘Get Away’ Official Poster Warns You to Get Ready for a Killer Holiday [Exclusive]
Director Steffen Haars (Krazy House) reteams with actor Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) once more on horror comedy Get Away, and Bloody Disgusting has the exclusive poster that warns you to get ready for a killer holiday ahead.
Previously titled Svalta, IFC Films releases Get Away in theaters on December 6, 2024. Get Away will slash onto Shudder in 2025.
In Get Away, “The Smith family’s much-needed vacation to the remote Swedish island of Svalta takes a dark turn when they arrive during preparations for a mysterious local festival that celebrates a dark history. Unsettled by the unfriendly locals and strange rituals, they try to make the best of their trip, stubbornly enjoying the island’s isolation and natural beauty. However, as the festival looms closer, the family realizes something far more sinister is unfolding—especially when they discover that a serial killer is on the loose.”
Expect a wild holiday ahead indeed for the Smith family. Trace Thurman wrote in his Fantastic Fest review, “The film is at its most entertaining, however, when it focuses on the dynamic between the dysfunctional members of the Smith family, especially when they so stubbornly ignore every single red flag that’s thrown in their faces.”
The horror comedy was written by Nick Frost, who stars alongside Aisling Bea (This Way Up), Sebastian Croft (Heartstopper), and Maisie Ayres.
“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 previously. “Nick Frost revs up his horror comedy expertise with the support of a strong ensemble cast and Steffen Haars’ playful directorial touch.”
Check out the official poster below and get ready for a bloody good time and a particularly inspired use of Iron Maiden when Get Away releases next week.
Out today in select theaters and on digital platforms is heartfelt and playful documentary Mockbuster, which sees a director cold call a studio and ask to helm a lost-world dinosaur epic.
Inexplicably, they say yes.
Our exclusive clip below highlights both the comedic nature of this bizarre scenario as well as the pressures of shooting dino feature The Land That Time Forgot in a mere six days, with no real feature experience.
A dino attack scene causes friction on set in this scene.
In the documentary, “A struggling filmmaker’s opportunity collides with chaos and compromise when Sharknado’s notorious studio, The Asylum, invites him to direct a ‘mockbuster.’ With six days, a micro budget, and mounting pressure, Mockbuster is a comedic, behind-the-scenes documentary exploring the balance between low-budget filmmaking and creative ambition.”
More than just an inside look at filmmaking via low-budget film studio The Asylum, it doubles as one man’s pursuit of his dreams to charming, humorous effect.
“Mockbuster is a documentary about my own journey, but it’s also a love letter to one of the last grindhouses still functioning in Hollywood. We get to meet the characters and creators of some of the most infamous (and most hated) B-movies of the last few decades. People who make movies purely for profit – no pretension, no artistry, just monsters, C-listers, and chaos. A film that both genre fans and cinephiles can enjoy. But Mockbuster isn’t just about filmmaking, it’s about losing sight of your dreams, and reclaiming them in your own twisted way,” Director Anthony Frith said in a statement.
From Executive Producer and famed documentarian David Farrier, Mockbuster opens in select theaters and on digital platforms beginning July 10.
