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 Daniel 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.

00:13We can't let on.
00:14Yeah?
00:15We can't look stressed or scared.
00:17We can't let on.
00:19Yeah?
00:20We can't look stressed or scared.
00:22We just have to go out there and be completely normal.
00:31This is my husband, Ben.
00:32I'm Patrick Felt.
00:33This is my wife, Kyra.
00:37You have to come and visit us.
00:38The West Country?
00:39Really, it's beautiful.
00:40Yeah, that'd be great.
00:41It's so quiet around here.
00:46We don't even have any neighbours.
00:50Agnes, love, you have to eat your vegetables.
00:52No, we don't chew with our mouths open.
00:55Please, could you stop telling my daughter what to do?
00:57You don't criticise other people's children.
00:59You should say sorry.
01:00It's okay.
01:01I'm sorry, Louise.
01:02Louise, is there anything you'd like to say?
01:06Cold water therapy.
01:08Proven to boost the immune system.
01:10And we didn't bring our swimsuits.
01:11Oh, that's all right.
01:12You can keep your knickers on.
01:13You shouldn't be shy, Louise.
01:14You've got a great body.
01:15Oh, thanks.
01:23I admire you.
01:24Louise is a great woman.
01:29I've always wanted a family like yours.
01:31Mum.
01:32I've always wanted a family like yours.
01:34Mum, something's not right with him.
01:37No!
01:38What is wrong with you?
01:40I want to pack up the car and I want to leave now.
01:44Oh, no.
01:46That is really bad luck.
01:52I know we can both be...
01:53A bit much.
01:54Yeah.
01:56No!
02:02You're gonna kill us.
02:05No!
02:06He went dead.
02:08Mum?
02:10Not here.
02:12You're either a predator or you're a prey.
02:17I need you to be brave.
02:22You guys have been...
02:23Just a breath of fresh air.
02:24Oh, that is very sweet of you to say.
