IFC Films and Shudder, AMC Networks’ streaming service for horror, thriller and supernatural programming, today announced that they have acquired North American rights to Steffen Haars’ slasher comedy film, “Get Away.” The film, previously titled “Svalta,” is written by Nick Frost (“Paul”), who also stars opposite Aisling Bea (“This Way Up”), Sebastian Croft (“Heartstopper”) and newcomer Maisie Ayres. The film will make its world premiere at Fantastic Fest 2024 in September. It will then open exclusively in theaters on December 6, 2024, followed by its Shudder debut in 2025. Like Shudder, IFC is a division of AMC Networks.

“Get Away” follows a family vacation to a remote location. The trip takes an unexpected turn when they discover that the island they are on is inhabited by a serial killer.

The film is financed by XYZ Films. The company produced the film along with John Hegeman of Wayward Entertainment, Lee Kim of Resolute Films and Frost. Co-producer is Richard Kondal for Big Safari, with executive producers Vince Totino of Wayward Entertainment and Patrick Fischer of Creativity Capital.

Frost commented, "I'm thrilled that 'Get Away' has found a home with IFC Films and Shudder, in addition to the continued support and collaboration of Wayward Entertainment and the gang at XYZ. It's such a great match and a real relief to know that 'Get Away' is in such safe hands. I can't wait for you to finally see it in theaters!"
