IFC Films and Shudder has picked up Get Away ahead of its world premiere at the 2024 Fantastic Fest in September. The horror comedy, written by Nick Frost (Shawn of the Dead) and directed by Steffan Haars, is targeting a December 6, 2024 theatrical release.
Get Away follows a family’s vacation to a remote getaway that takes an unexpected turn when they discover the island they’re on is inhabited by a serial killer. Commenting on the acquisition, director Haars said, “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.”
Nick Frost stars along with Aisling Bea (This Way Up), Sebastian Croft (Heartstopper), and Maisie Ayres.
“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,” stated Frost. “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!”
XYZ Films financed the film and produced along with John Hegeman of Wayward Entertainment, Lee Kim of Resolute Films, and Nick Frost. Vince Totino of Wayward Entertainment and Patrick Fischer of Creativity Capital served as executive producers.
“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,” stated Emily Gotto, SVP of Acquisitions and Production for Shudder. “Nick Frost revs up his horror comedy expertise with the support of a strong ensemble cast and Steffen Haars’ playful directorial touch.”
Following its theatrical release, Get Away will air on Shudder in 2025.
