James McAvoy and Mackenzie Davis share elements of their characters
Tale
A family is invited to spend an entire weekend at a secluded country home, but as the weekend progresses, they discover that the family who invited them also has a dark side. The story was inspired by the experiences of Christian Tafdrup, the director of the Danish Speak No Evil (2022), and they complimented each other as they discussed their different approaches to the craft, who befriended a Dutch couple while on vacation in Tuscany with his wife. Although the Dutch were a bit socially awkward, both couples got along very well, and upon returning home, Tafdrup received an invitation from the Dutch family to come over to the Netherlands. He briefly considered it, but decided that it would feel strange to stay with people he didn’t really know; his story for the film was born when he unleashed his darkest fantasies of what might have happened if he had accepted (while maintaining that the original Dutch couple never gave him a bad vibe). In this remake, the nationalities of the two families were changed to American and British.

home and relax, but not everything is what it seems from the new Blumhouse feature
Speak No Evil is a 2024 psychological horror remake starring James McAvoy as Paddy, an English father who invites an American family over. While we get most of the points from the 2022 foreign film of the same name, Speak No Evil builds a good level of tension while getting violent. climax, which is a good point considering the film’s strong point as a psychological horror film. The American family is very likeable and very realistic when it comes to the more threatening scenes of menace, you generally sympathize with them a lot, and for much of the running time you get to see what the views of the other English family are. At first they think this is a new kind of attachment to their new home, but as the film progresses, the perspectives slowly change, making you wonder if they will ever recover from the horrors they have witnessed so far, which raises the bar.
Very much the same
The clarity and terror are in line with the dark tone of the film, and that’s very good. In terms of acting, James Mcavoy is very much a top notch Blumhouse movie these days, he’s actually pretty scary but also funny. He reminds me of Jack Torrance from The Shining, he’s a very manic and twisted character with comedic elements scattered throughout, I think that’s a pretty interesting thing to notice, but I think Paddy was a little different, if only because of his charm. The downward spiral of Jack’s character. Overall, while a fairly solid entry into the Blumhouse library, the fatal flaw of this thriller is its lack of respect for the original film, which it really should be.

, but this entry seems to completely avoid certain aspects that a remake shouldn’t do unless there’s a good reason to. But it’s still a worthy, entertaining watch for a late night.
