What To Expect From ‘Get Away’?
Hailing from Frost and Haars, who previously collaborated onKrazy House, the feature is expected to make you laugh and scare you at the same time, while you’ll find a “slice of life” undertone if you ever had a doomed vacation. Speaking to Collider, Frost previously revealed that theinspiration forGet Awaycomes from his real-life experience. “So I’ve spent a lot of time on a really small island in Sweden — and let me just underscore what I’m gonna say by saying, I’ve always had a lovely time, and everyone’s always made me feel very welcome — but even after 20 years of going to this island,there is still very much an “us and them” mentality, which is fine.” He further elaborated:
“I think that’s how communities of small people keep the outsiders at bay, and I think that’s pretty fine. But I enjoyed the fact that I never kind of made it in, you know? They never trusted me enough. And I thought that would bean interesting place for a family to go on holiday,but to be quite stubborn about it andnot want to leave, and, ‘Why can’t we be here?‘That kind of vibe.”
Get Awayis set to make its debut on the streaming platform Shudder on January 10. you may check out the trailer above and stay tuned to Collider for more such updates.
