Speak No Evil Trailer Shows a Holiday From Hell in Horror Movie Remake

A second Speak No Evil trailer has emerged for the psychological horror remake starring James McAvoy and Mackenzie Davis.

The new trailer further emphasizes the suspense in the story of a couple who visit the rural home of a couple they met on holiday.

Check out the new Speak No Evil trailer below. If you’d rather go in cold, though, I suggest skipping it, as it reveals many of the original plot beats.

The focus is largely on James McAvoy’s Paddy as it was in the first trailer. He’s clearly having a good time playing an unhinged character again.

According to director James Watkins, the Blumhouse reimake of Christian Tafdrup’s bleak Danish movie will still follow the same plot as the original but will not be as graphic.

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.

Speak No Evil is adapted from the original screenplay and directed by James Watkins (Eden Lake, Black Mirror). It stars James McAvoy (Split), Mackenzie Davis (Terminator: Dark Fate), Aisling Franciosi (Stopmotion), Scoot McNairy (Gone Girl), Alix West Lefler (The Good Nurse), and newcomer Dan Hough.

Jason Blum and Paul Ritchie are the producers, and Beatriz Sequeira, Jacob Jarek, and Christian Tafdrup are the executive producers.

The original film from 2022 earned 11 Danish Film Awards nominations, the Danish equivalent of the Oscars. It’s currently available to stream on Shudder.

Speak No Evil will be released in theaters on September 13, 2024.
