Trivia
The story is inspired by the experiences of Christian Tafdrup, director of the original Danish Speak No Evil (2022), who had befriended a Dutch couple while on holiday in Tuscany with his wife. Although the Dutch were a bit socially awkward, both couples got along very well, and after returning home, Tafdrup received an invitation from the Dutch family to come over to the Netherlands. He briefly considered it, but decided that he would feel odd staying with people he didn't really know; his story for the movie came about when he unleashed his darkest fantasies on what could have happened, had he accepted (while maintaining that the original Dutch couple had never given off any bad vibes). In this remake, the nationalities of the two families have been changed to American and British.

I Believe in James McAvoy Supremacy

Finally, a win for Blumhouse after a year of mid-tier flicks and straight-up duds. Who would've thought the studio's saving grace would be an American remake of a film that's barely two years old-and already 80% in English? But here we are. The key difference? This version is infinitely better, less frustrating, and dare I say, actually satisfying.

James McAvoy-what a powerhouse. Honestly, just put this guy in every horror movie from now on, especially if he's the villain. He's so good at it, you can almost hear him whispering, "Watch me steal every damn scene." And, of course, he does. Every. Time.

Speak No Evil is easily one of the best horror films of the year, in my opinion. The biggest improvement?

Characters that actually deserve to be rooted for.

Well, okay, they're a little dumb in the first third, but at least they smarten up before you lose all hope except for one particular individual. Blumhouse, take a bow-you've finally done something right!
