Find Ari Aster‘s 2019 cult horror film “Midsommar” a little too self-serious? Well, director Steffen Haars has a remedy for you: “Get Away,” a slasher comedy about a family who goes on vacation to a remote Swedish isle with a sinister secret and somehow retain their British pluck as murders pile up around them.

It begs the question: why didn’t anyone think of this idea sooner?  A comedic riff on “The Wicker Man” and its ilk sounds a charming sit for horror fans, even if “Get Away” remains a minor lark of a film.  And with Nick Frost as the family’s Dad, there’s sure to be plenty of laughs in this one, too.

It starts innocuously enough. “Krazy House,” the English-language debut of Dutch filmmakers Steffen Haars and Flip van der Kuil, launches with a ‘90s family sitcom parody that ribs their cheese and cringe. Complete with the laughter of a live studio audience, a religiously-minded family — aptly named the Christians — goes about their business while their klutzy patriarch, Bernie (Nick Frost), bumbles and fumbles about. He even comes complete with a punny catchphrase, “cheese ‘n’ rice,” to quench his blasphemous outbursts.

Since its inception five years ago, Guillermo del Toro‘s fantasy series “Tales Of Arcadia” has grown into a franchise behemoth for Dreamworks Animation. Its three different shows on Netflix have earned countless Daytime Emmy, BAFTA, and Annie Award nominations. The critical success has spawned a series of YA novels, two comics, and a videogame.

HBO’s “The Nevers” drops at a time when its existence will have to fight a more intense battle than anything on-screen against the stories about its creator, Joss Whedon.

A reunion of Nick Frost and Simon Pegg—stars of the beloved comedy hybrids “Shaun of the Dead,” “Hot Fuzz,” and “The World’s End”—should produce abundant joy, especially given the promising concept of Amazon’s “Truth Seekers” to once again blend humor with another genre. And yet this 8-episode comedy is a shocking misfire, a deadly dull affair that feels much longer than even its 4-hour total runtime and produces an unbelievably small number of actual laughs and thrills.
