Get Away (UK)
In this comedy horror film, 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 that something far more sinister is unfolding, especially when they discover that a serial killer is on the loose. Starring Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead) and Aisling Bea (This Way Up), Get Away, a Shudder Original Film, begins streaming in the US and Canada on January 10.
