James McAvoy and Mackenzie Davis star in the Hollywood remake of the 2022 Danish horror film.
The original Danish horror Speak No Evil shocked fans when it came out in 2022 so it was only a matter of time before it got the Hollywood remake treatment.
In James Watkins’s version, Mackenzie Davis and Scoot McNairy play Louise and Ben, an American couple who live in London with their daughter Agnes (Alix West Lefler).
Shortly after befriending Paddy (James McAvoy), Ciara (Aisling Franciosi) and their son Ant (Dan Hough) on holiday in Italy, they are invited to spend the weekend at the couple’s remote farmhouse in Devon.
It sounds like a dreamy proposition so they accept the invite. But their idyllic break in the countryside soon becomes a psychological nightmare.
The original film was haunting and upsetting and there was no way that ending would have been acceptable in a Hollywood movie. But Watkins made substantially more changes than expected, producing a film that thankfully isn’t a carbon copy.
There are key differences...
