Speak No Evil, an upcoming psychological horror-thriller, is already generating significant buzz due to its eerie premise and star-studded cast. Directed by James Watkins and produced by Blumhouse Productions, it remakes the 2022 Danish horror movie of the same name. The film stars James McAvoy, Mackenzie Davis, Aisling Franciosi, and Scoot McNairy, and is set to be released by Universal Pictures on September 13, 2024.
From Idyllic to Terrifying
The story’s about an American family invited to spend a weekend at the country home of a charming British family. But what starts as an idyllic retreat quickly turns into a psychological nightmare. The Americans discover their hosts have sinister intentions, and their growing discomfort and terror make for a compelling blend of horror, drama, and psycho-thriller.

The film delivers a slow-burn horror experience that gradually builds tension and fear, much like the original Danish release.
