Speak No Evil (2024) is a remake of the 2022 released Danish movie of the same name
The 2024 rendition of the movie maintains a storyline that is reminiscent of the original. However, in this movie, compared to its previous version, greater focus will be put on the psychological elements rather than the horror elements.
Additionally, the identities of the characters will be going through minor changes in the recent film. While the first movie focusing on a Danish and a Dutch couple, the upcoming one will center around an American and a British couple. The premise of the new film will however remain intact in its original form.
The official synopsis for the upcoming film 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."
Who is in the cast of Speak No Evil?
James McAvoy and Aisling Franciosi lead the film's cast and play Paddy and Ciara. They are the couple who take on hosting responsibilities in the film. Mackenzie Davis plays Louise Dalton and Scoot McNairy plays Ben Dalton. The Daltons are the couple who are being hosted by Paddy and Ciara in their England countryside home.
Additional cast of the film includes:
- Alix West Lefler as Agnes Dalton (12-year-old daughter of Louise and Ben Dalton)
- Dan Hough as Ant ( Paddy and Ciara's non-verbal son)
Audience's reception towards the film
As of writing this article, based on approximately 45 reviews from renowned critics on Rotten Tomatoes, the film seems to be doing well. It has earned a rating of 87% as of now which is considered good given that it has only been made available to selective individuals as of now.
Critics have lauded the film for its tension-building methods, its psychological aspects that double down as horror, and its acting. James McAvoy has been singled out for his performance in the film by several critics. The audiences are not surprised by the praises that are being directed his way as McAvoy has had a rich past of playing psychologically twisted characters(M. Night Shyamalan's Split and Glass).
On another popular reviewing platform, Metacritic, the film has accumulated a"Generally Favorable" Metascore of 63 out of 100.
Speak No Evil will be available in theatres across the US starting this Friday.
