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.
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.
An intense suspense thriller for our modern age, this masterfully unnerving cinematic game of suspense showcases a staggering performance by BAFTA award-winner James McAvoy (Split, Glass) as the charismatic, alpha-male estate owner whose untrammeled hospitality masks an unspeakable darkness.
