Get Away is the latest film written by Nick Frost, star of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. Frost has teamed up with Aisling Bea to co-star in this comedy-thriller about a family whose holiday to a remote island turns into a nightmare when they discover that there’s a serial killer on the loose there.
