Nick Frost's comedy slasher film Get Away picked up by IFC Films and Shudder

A new slasher comedy film is coming to Shudder in 2025 and even better, it's from writer Nick Frost, who fans likely know best from his work in the Cornetto trilogy starring alongside Simon Pegg. Frost has been in all three films, starting with Shaun of the Dead (which turned 20 this year!).

His next project, Get Away, is a Sweden-set slasher movie following the Smith family on a vacation that goes terribly wrong when they realize they're stuck on an island with a serial killer. So, in a way, it's kind of like an island-set Trap.

Previously titled Svalta, the new title is far more fitting, featuring a clever play on words, though Svalta is the title of the island where the family vacations.

According to Deadline, IFC Films and Shudder have picked up the streaming rights for the XYZ film-produced in North America. It will start streaming on Shudder sometime in 2025. For those unfamiliar, Shudder is the horror-centric streaming service owned by AMC Networks. Other popular films headed to Shudder soon include In a Violent Nature and Oddity.

But you won't have to wait until 2025 to see Get Away. The film will premiere exclusively in theaters on December 6 after its worldwide debut at this year's Fantastic Fest, set for September.

In addition to writing the script for Get Away, Frost will also star in the film alongside Heartstopper star Sebastian Croft and This Way Up's Aisling Bea, plus newcomer Maisie Ayres. Steffen Haars directs. Lena Headey was previously attached to star but had to drop out of the project due to scheduling conflicts and was later replaced with Bea.

In a statement, Frost has said he's "thrilled" that the film "found a home at IFC Films and Shudder, alongside the constant support and collaboration with Wayward Entertainment and the gang at XYZ."

Get Away starts playing in theaters on December 6, 2024, before making its Shudder debut in 2025. Stay tuned to 1428 Elm for more information and updates on the movie.
