Director: Steffen Haars
A cramped cabin, a locked gate, and a family that can't quite agree on the itinerary — Get Away opens like an ordinary vacation comedy before the 2024 horror-comedy tips its hand.
What is Get Away about?
The premise starts small: a family books a getaway to a secluded island, hoping for a relaxing break away from routine. The mood shifts once local traditions and unfamiliar customs start to feel less quaint and more unsettling, and the family realizes the isolated setting hides something far more dangerous than bad weather or spotty phone signal. Director Steffen Haars leans into tonal whiplash, letting broad comedic beats sit right next to genuine tension, so the film keeps shifting between laughs and dread rather than settling into one register. The island itself becomes almost a character, its quiet, remote atmosphere doing a lot of the work before anything overtly frightening happens on screen.
Cast & crew
Nick Frost and Aisling Bea anchor the family at the center of the story, with Sebastian Croft and Maisie Ayres rounding out the household, while Jouko Ahola, Ville Virtanen, Eero Milonoff, and Anitta Suikkari fill out the island's local cast. The mix of comedic and dramatic performers matches the film's back-and-forth between silly and sinister.
Context & significance
Get Away is a multi-country production spanning Canada, Finland, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and it sits in the horror-comedy space alongside other genre mashups that use a remote setting to blend fish-out-of-water humor with slasher-adjacent tension. Its short runtime keeps the pacing brisk, favoring momentum over slow-burn atmosphere.
