One of the most disturbing European horror movies of recent
years, Speak No Evil, now gets an English language remake courtesy of Blumhouse. Written and
directed by James Watkins, of the equally disturbing Eden Lake, this version replaces the Danish and Dutch families of the original
with American and British families.
Mackenzie Davis and Scoot McNairy play an
American couple who accept an invitation to stay at the home of a British
couple (James McAvoy and Aisling Franciosi). The
initial awkward culture clash is soon replaced by suspicions of something
darker at play.
Speak No Evil is in UK/ROI cinemas from September 12th.
Check out the new trailer below.
The official synopsis reads:
When an American family is invited to spend the weekend at the idyllic country estate of a charming British family they befriended on vacation, what begins as a dream holiday soon warps into a snarled psychological nightmare.
