Get Away

In the end, it is revealed that the Smith family, who initially appeared to be normal tourists, were actually a family of serial killers. They had come to the island with the intention of repeating the brutal history of the locals’ ancestors—who once resorted to cannibalism to survive. The family’s true nature was uncovered after they drugged themselves with Matts’ cookies, which contained a sleeping agent. While unconscious, they were vulnerable and revealed their murderous side: Robert and Susan had been working together for some time to kill and hunt for their own thrill, with Jessie and Sam joining in their bloodlust. The family stabbed Matts in retaliation for his voyeurism and then turned on the remaining inhabitants, killing people at random and mimicking the island’s gruesome past.

Klara, the community leader, refused to accept the massacre and plotted to continue the tradition of sacrifice, hoping to offer the English family to their ancestors. However, her obsession blinded her to the chaos unfolding, and she was ultimately shot by Detective Forsberg, who mistook her for the true culprit. In the chaos, the family managed to escape with the help of the police, who believed them to be victims. As the dust settled, it became clear that the Smith family had successfully hidden their murderous nature by pretending to be an ordinary family. Their ability to blend in undetected allowed them to continue their pattern of hidden violence, setting the stage for their continued presence as a dangerous, untraceable serial killer family. The island was left silent, with the horrific cycle of violence repeating itself, seemingly never to be stopped. The ending underscores how appearances can be deceiving and how evil can lurk behind the most ordinary facades.
