“What is wrong with you?!” Universal Pictures and Blumhouse have revealed the first official trailer the unsettling horror remake Speak No Evil, a Hollywood take on the Danish horror film Speak No Evil from 2022. This takes the same disturbing plot and spins in a bit, though it does stick fairly closely to the other film. Two families meet while on holiday, and one invites the other to their country estate. After they arrive at an idyllic English country house, it morphs from a dream vacation into a psychological nightmare when Paddy takes over. This new Speak No Evil movie stars Mackenzie Davis & Scoot McNairy as American couple Louise & Ben Dalton, who, along with their 11-year-old daughter Agnes (Alix West Lefler), accept a weekend holiday invitation of Paddy (James McAvoy), and his wife Ciara (Aisling Franciosi), and their furtive, mute son Ant (newcomer Dan Hough). Damn this looks crazy intense and terrifying! What is going on with McAvoy?! If you haven’t seen the other one already, it might be better to wait & watch this film first.

Here’s the first official trailer (+ poster) for James Watkins’ Speak No Evil, direct from YouTube:

When an American family is invited to spend the weekend out 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. From producer Jason Blum and Blumhouse comes an intense suspense thriller for our modern age, starring BAFTA award-winner James McAvoy in a riveting lead performance as the charismatic, alpha-male estate owner whose untrammeled hospitality masks an unspeakable darkness. Speak No Evil is written and directed by British filmmaker James Watkins, director of the films Eden Lake, The Woman in Black, The Take, and the series “McMafia” and “The Ipcress File” previously, plus the “Shut Up and Dance” episode of Black Mirror. Based on the screenplay of the 2022 Danish horror sensation Gæsterne, written by Christian Tafdrup & Mads Tafdrup. Produced by Jason Blum of Blumhouse and Paul Ritchie. Universal will release Speak No Evil in theaters starting on September 13th, 2024 later this year.
