The Smiths desperately need a holiday. Ignoring warnings from gruff locals who advise them to stay away at all costs, the goofy family settles on the Swedish island of Svälta. Unbothered by the lack of local hospitality, they gleefully set about swimming, hiking, and enjoying the isolation. The remote setting is perfect for their special plans, but they’re not the only ones glad for all the eerie quiet. With a blend of blood-curdling thrills, dark humor, and unexpected plot twists, director Steffen Haars keeps audiences both laughing and on the edge of their seats in this relentlessly fun, batshit crazy serial killer horror comedy.

What starts as a comedic riff on the folk horror conventions of THE WICKER MAN and MIDSOMMAR takes a corkscrew turn, leading to an unexpected and delightful payoff. A sharp script by Nick Frost (SHAUN OF THE DEAD, HOT FUZZ) is brought to life by a stellar UK cast—Frost, Aisling Bea (THIS WAY UP), Maisie Ayres (CRIMINAL RECORD), Sebastian Croft (Love, Death & Robots)—and a fantastically creepy Eero Milonoff (BORDER).
