Go Away (2024)

You came home for peace. They came for blood.

Go Away (2024) is a violent, retro-inspired horror film that drags the slasher genre back to its grimy roots. It follows Liz, a young woman returning to her childhood home in the countryside for a long-overdue family reunion. Tensions run high — her mother is distant, her sister is bitter, and no one seems happy to see each other. But the real danger doesn’t come from within. It’s already outside.

As night falls, a group of masked intruders surrounds the house, their faces hidden behind twisted homemade disguises. At first, it seems like a robbery. But it quickly becomes clear — this is a ritual. And Liz’s family has something these strangers want: a secret buried in the family’s past, one that someone is willing to kill for.

What follows is a relentless siege of violence and survival. The attackers are brutal and methodical, using traps, tools, and psychological games to drive the family apart. But Liz refuses to break. Forced to fight back, she uncovers not only the truth about her family’s history — but the strength she never thought she had.

The film blends gritty realism with hyper-stylized gore, nodding to 80s home-invasion classics like The Strangers and You’re Next. There’s no supernatural twist — just raw, human evil, driven by rage and twisted ideology.

What sets Go Away apart is its refusal to glorify the violence. It’s ugly, desperate, and personal. There’s no clean heroism — only messy survival. The cinematography stays tight and claustrophobic, with harsh lighting and jarring cuts to reflect the escalating panic.

The cast includes a mix of indie horror veterans and newcomers, with standout performances from the lead actress playing Liz and the silent, terrifying figure known only as “The Prophet.”

Some viewers may find the intensity excessive, and the emotional moments sparse — but for fans of grindhouse horror and stripped-down, feral tension, this is a ruthless, blood-slicked ride with bite.
