James McAvoy, Mackenzie Davis, and the rest of the Speak No Evil cast came out for the premiere in New York City Monday night. We spoke with the BAFTA award-winner about his role in the psychological thriller, where he plays the antagonist. The film follows an American spending a weekend away at a British family's idyllic country estate, but their dream holiday quickly turns into a living nightmare. Speak No Evil hits theaters Friday the 13th.
