Speak No Evil: James McAvoy Gives Off Serious Split Vibes in First Trailer for Blumhouse's Creepy New Horror Flick
A remake of the 2022 Danish film of the same name, Speak No Evil arrives on the big screen this September.
Split star James McAvoy once again proves his unparalleled talent for playing very creepy dudes in the first unsettling trailer for Universal and Blumhouse's latest horror collaboration: Speak No Evil (opening in theaters everywhere this September).
An English-language remake of the 2022 Danish film of the same name, the psychological thriller stars Mackenzie Davis (Halt and Catch Fire, Terminator: Dark Fate) and Scoot McNairy (Monsters) as Louise and Ben Dalton, an American couple vacationing abroad with their 11-year-old daughter, Agnes (Riverdale's Alix Wester Lefler). This relaxing getaway slowly turns into a living nightmare when the family makes the rather poor choice of accepting a weekend-holiday invitation from charismatic and somewhat bipolar "physician" Paddy (McAvoy), his wife Ciara (The Last Voyage of the Demeter's Aisling Franciosi), and their mute son Ant (newcomer Dan Hough).
A word to the wise: don't go to the isolated estate of people you just met. They might just be psychopaths hiding a dark secret. McMafia and The Ipcress File alumnus James Watkins wrote and directed the movie, adapting the original Danish screenplay written by Christian Tafdrup and Mads Tafdrup.
"Many horror films have flat characters and flat stories. They want to explain themselves, but they’re not about anything," Christian, who also directed the 2022 version, said during an interview with RogerEbert.com. "I thought, if I could combine a social satire and family drama with conventions of the horror genre, it would become more interesting. When I did that, the film opened up in my mind. It became darker, more radical — and about something."
