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.

Critics Consensus

Drawing blood and yucks from its literal tourist trap setting, Get Away is uneven as comedy and horror but makes for a highly unique blending of the two genres.

2/5

... The movie degenerates into a tedious slow-motion gore-fest that’s as empty as it is illogical.

3/5

Funny and shocking, Get Away is not always a successful holiday-gone-wrong, but its bloody bonkers final act makes it worth the trip.

Offhandedly funny, conscientiously forbidding and ultimately a surprise.

Get Away takes you places you don't expect and is bloody as all hell in the process.

A loving send-up of folk horror, Get Away leans heavily into the cringe comedy resulting from the culture clash and British family dynamics, but these awkward laughs mask a blood-stained grin.

4.5/5

Haars’s film paces briskly, so much so that the only apparent narrative issue is the lack of development in the local characters.

Amazingly hilarious and a massive twist. My friend doesn’t like horror or gore at all and loved it too

I’m very impressed with this movie. I swear, these films under the IFC Films or Shudder flagship have turned into a success. I gotta say, the future looks bright for the horror genre.

Another Shudder masterpiece! The Blood and Gore of In a Violent Nature and the comedy of It’s a Wonderful Knife combined!

Go into this movie knowing nothing about it (which is exactly what I did) and you will be entertained. I did not see the twist coming, which is what made this movie a 4 star for me!
