GetAWAY

About This Movie

GetAWAY (2020) carries this raw, gritty vibe that feels almost claustrophobic. The film follows a group of college students who set out to create a short horror film, and you can really sense their excitement but also their naivety. As they dive deeper into the woods, the atmosphere shifts; the tension builds nicely with some rather effective practical effects that remind you of old-school horror. The pacing is interesting—slow at first, but it pulls you in until everything spirals out of control. Performances range from genuine camaraderie to sheer terror, creating a real sense of dread. It taps into themes of fear and paranoia, and it feels almost like a commentary on the genre itself, without being too self-aware. Definitely a unique watch in the indie horror space.
