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.
From Blumhouse, the producer of The Black Phone, Get Out and The Invisible Man, comes an intense suspense thriller for our modern age, starring BAFTA award-winner James McAvoy (Split, Glass) in a riveting performance as the charismatic, alpha-male estate owner whose untrammeled hospitality masks an unspeakable darkness.
Speak No Evil stars Mackenzie Davis (Terminator: Dark Fate, Halt and Catch Fire) and SAG award-winner Scoot McNairy (Argo, A Quiet Place Part II) as American couple Louise and Ben Dalton, who, along with their 11-year-old daughter Agnes (Alix West Lefler; The Good Nurse, Riverdale), accept the weekend-holiday invitation of Paddy (McAvoy), his wife Ciara (Aisling Franciosi; Game of Thrones, The Fall) and their furtive, mute son Ant (newcomer Dan Hough).
Written for the screen and directed by James Watkins, the writer-director of Eden Lake and the award-winning gothic ghost story The Woman in Black, Speak No Evil is based on the screenplay of the 2022 Danish horror sensation Gæsterne, written by Christian Tafdrup and Mads Tafdrup. That film earned 11 Danish Film Awards nominations, the Danish equivalent of the Oscars.
Speak No Evil is produced by Jason Blum (Five Nights at Freddy’s, M3GAN) for Blumhouse and by Paul Ritchie (McMafia, The Ipcress File) and is executive produced by Beatriz Sequeira for Blumhouse, Jacob Jarek and Christian Tafdrup.
The film hits UK cinemas on 12th September 2024.

00:10You should try.
00:11Yeah, we...
00:12I won't call the fun police if you don't.
00:13Okay.
00:19Right before I quit my practice...
00:21You're a lawyer.
00:22Doctor, listen, you have to come and visit.
00:24Yeah, that'd be great.
00:25Yeah?
00:26Yeah.
00:27Done.
00:29It's so quiet around here.
00:31They don't even have any neighbours.
00:32Hey!
00:33You made it!
00:34Welcome, welcome.
00:35Ta-da!
00:36You are VIP guests.
00:38Just to remind you I'm a vegetarian.

01:02You can get less for murder.
01:04Yeah.
01:09Something's not right with him.
01:10He has a condition.
01:12It makes it hard for him to communicate.
01:13Sometimes it's okay to think things, but you can't actually see them.
01:17Oh no.
01:18Thank God there's a doctor in the house.
01:20I'm not a doctor.
01:22What?
01:23What, didn't you say you were a doctor?
01:26Did I?
01:27You...
01:30Look at their faces.
01:32Of course I'm a bloody doctor.
01:36Agnes, why don't you and Ant show us the dance that you've been working on?
01:45Ant, what is wrong with you?
01:47Just feel the rhythm in your feet.
01:49One, two, three, four.
01:51This is the one.
01:53No!
01:55What is wrong with you?
01:58I want to pack up the car and I want to leave right now.
02:07I'm just sad to see you go.
02:13We can go out there and be completely normal.
02:17I've been pretending it's normal since we got here.
02:20Dad?
02:32Remember that time you guys came to stay?
02:37And you flipped out and tried to leave without saying goodbye?
