Nick Frost feared he’d written a pure horror film with ‘Get Away’.
The 52-year-old star has penned the script for the comedy horror flick – in which he and Aisling Bea play parents who take their kids on holiday to a remote Swedish island and discover a serial killer – and was concerned that his screenplay was too gory at points.
Speaking to Eye for Film, Nick said: “I became conscious that I wrote a horror film after watching it.
“There were days on set when someone got murdered and there were 50 litres of blood on the floor. And then there were a few times I actually went back to my wife at night and said, ‘F****** hell, this film’s really violent!’
“You know, I didn’t really imagine it as violent, because it’s a cute comedy about a family having their last holiday and the fact that a serial killer is involved seems to be an aside.
“I didn’t imagine what we were doing until I saw what we did and I was like, ‘Wow, that’s kind of gruesome’.”
Meanwhile, Aisling praised the ‘Shaun of the Dead’ actor for getting the right “chemistry” amongst the cast – which includes Sebastian Croft and Maisie Ayres as the couple’s children.
The Irish comedian said: “I think chemistry can be sort of acted sometimes onscreen when people hate each other off-screen, but it makes a job seven times longer when that’s what you have to do, because you’re working off set, you’re working on camera.
“Whereas there were days when we had a ball filming this and we did feel like a little family. It’s probably down to Nick nitpicking the cast.”
She continued: “It was down to him putting us together as a group. We’ve all been quite excited about doing press together and stuff, which is rare, and it’s because we really all fell in love with each other as a little family. Maisie and Sebastian are both very funny as well, so most of our time was just laughing.”
