‘Get Away’ Review: Nick Frost Subverts Folk Horror

by

In these horror stories, you often see characters from urban areas venturing into secluded, peculiar communities that are steeped in tradition and superstition. Movies such as The Wicker Man, Midsommar, Apostle, The Third Day, Wake Wood, The Lair of the White Worm, The Ritual, Dagon, Population 436, Offseason, and others fall into this category. These communities, which have been historically suppressed by centuries of Christian colonization, seem to take their revenge on the outsiders from the city who are considered more advanced. The latest film Get Away fits into this genre but offers a clever twist in its narrative and themes.

The idea of a “Squid Game” Season 2 has long been controversial. Many argued that the first season was so perfect and self-contained that it needed no continuation at all.

Regardless of which camp you stood on, “Squid Game” was the kind of massive TV success that couldn’t not get a follow-up, and, three years later, that follow-up is finally here, with Season 2 set to arrive all in one swoop to the homes of Netflix subscribers on December 26, 2024.
