A Perfect Getaway

""Come on, nothing bad ever happens in Hawaii, right?""

- Cliff

A Perfect Getaway is about Cliff and Cydney. Cliff and Cydney are newlyweds who have decided to spend their vacation in Hawaii. Then, they find out when they get to a second island that a pair of serial killers--a man and a woman--are on the loose on the islands. They then run into Kale and Cleo, a pair of suspicious hitch-hikers and Nick and Gina, an ex-American Jedi and his girlfriend. All three couples wonder if the other two couples are the killers, all while wandering farther and farther from society and deeper into the jungle...

This film provides examples of:
"Nick: "Gina can take care of herself."
 * Badass: Nick. The things he's done are so awesome that Cliff doesn't believe they're even true. They are.
 * Bitches In Sheep's Clothing:.
 * Better Than a Bare Bulb: The writers basically punch through the surface of the movie to have two characters,, talk as though they're on a writer's retreat, trying to come up with a movie.
 * Cerebus Syndrome: This movie starts out suspenseful, but also very funny. About halfway through, it gets really fucking disturbing.
 * Chekhov's Gun: . It's fired in one of the best jump scares in recent years.
 * Also, early on, Nick boasts about . It later on proves instrumental in
 * Foot Focus: Cydney gets a few shots like this near the beginning of the film, when she's hanging her feet out of the car window while wearing flip-flops.
 * Gorn: The gore was fairly limited to a handful of shots in the last few minutes.
 * Heel Face Turn: has a change of heart after she sees how much  and  really do love each other, in contrast to the.
 * The killers' motive.
 * Les Yay:

Cliff: "I meant Cydney."

Nick: "Oh. Well Gina can take care of her too...""


 * No Name Given:
 * Punny Name: The Hawaiian hiking trail is a "perfect getaway" because it's a good vacation. It's also a good place to hide if you had just, say, killed a bunch of people and were trying to escape. Get it?
 * Red Herring:.
 * Scenery Porn: Hawaii looks pretty awesome.
 * The Reveal:
 * Too Dumb to Live: Fortunately, it's only a group of Spear Carrier kayaking dudes. Just remember, when you insist that your kayaks are more important than a hysterical woman screaming about a murderer on her tail, you deserve to die. You could've just moved the conversation down to the beach, couldn't you?
 * Trailers Always Spoil: It's called A Perfect Getaway. In the trailer, they specify that the killers are a man and a woman. If you haven't put it together before you're in your seat, you must be a saint.
 * Twist Ending: Well, actually, it happens about halfway through the movie, but same difference, right?
 * : For some value of  and some value of.
 * What Happened to The Mouse: We don't really know what happens to and  after they get arrested.
