About this episode

Collin reviews the horror comedy film Get Away, discussing its plot and a significant plot twist that affected his rating.

On this week’s episode of History From The Back Pages Collin reviews the horrific horror comedy film Get Away. The plot is about an English family who travels to a pagan island off the coast of Sweden for their holiday. The reason for their holiday is to experience a legendary pagan “play” held by the villagers which details their life two hundred years prior when the English invaded the island. Collin was ready to rate the film a seven out of ten until about halfway through when the writers introduced a plot twist out of no where that was so stupid and insane it caused him to change his review to a two. Tune in to hear about a film so bad it makes Red Island, Strandred, After Dusk They Come, War of The Worlds (2025) and The Open House look like masterpieces. Stranded is still a worse film by far do not worry.
