How hard is it to act completely normal when you discover you’re spending your vacation with a total psychopath? For the unsuspecting travelers in Speak No Evil, the answer is that it’s impossible.
“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,” reads Blumhouse’s synopsis.
James McAvoy (Split, Glass) puts off an incredibly creepy vibe as Paddy, the “charismatic, alpha-male estate owner whose untrammeled hospitality masks an unspeakable darkness.” Mackenzie Davis (Terminator: Dark Fate) and SAG award-winner Scoot McNairy (A Quiet Place Part II) play the American couple who naively accept an invitation and have their lives turned into a living hell, along with their 11-year-old daughter (Alix West Lefler). Aisling Franciosi (Game of Thrones) plays Paddy’s wife, Ciara, and Dan Hough stars as their mute son.
James Watkins wrote and directed Speak No Evil, based on the 2022 Danish film Gæsterne from writers Christian Tafdrup and Mads Tafdrup. Paul Ritchie and Blumhouse’s Jason Blum serve as producers, with Beatriz Sequeira, Jacob Jarek, and Christian Tafdrup executive producing.
Speak No Evil will have a special sneak peek at the San Diego Comic-Con. It’ll open nationwide in theaters on September 13, 2024.
