Get Away will then make its manner over to Shudder someday in 2025.
Get Away was directed by Steffen Haars (New Youngsters Turbo) from a screenplay Frost wrote himself. The story follows a household on their summer time trip to a distant island the place they uncover a serial killer is on the unfastened. Sadly for them, the locals have little interest in serving to the stranded household. The title is taken from the title of the fictional island. As Frost described the story, “Take a delicate English household and ship them on vacation to a tiny Swedish island stuffed with maniacs. Easy. Not a lot Nuts in Might. Extra ‘Nuts in Mayhem’.“

We first heard about this venture again in 2019, at which period Frost’s frequent collaborator Simon Pegg was going to producing the film with him, and James Serafinowicz and Nat Saunders have been going to be co-writing the script. But it surely doesn’t appear to be Pegg, Serafinowicz, or Saunders have any involvement with the completed product.

Emily Gotto, SVP of Acquisitions and Manufacturing for Shudder, had this to say concerning the movie: “Get Away is amusing out loud comedy that pours a number of buckets of blood onto a household’s candy trip in Sweden. This hilarious thrill experience will fire up laughs and scares in equal measure. Nick Frost revs up his horror comedy experience with the help of a powerful ensemble forged and Steffen Haars’ playful directorial contact.“
